Hey mom!! And family friends, whoever reads this. How is everything going 5 minutes from the MTC.. haha. So this week has been awewsome! It always is. Filled with so many good experiences. I will try to remember them all and get the most important ones. So Sunday was our first fast sunday here in the MTC. And to tell ya I wasn't hungry all day. When we fast with a purpose and continually have a prayer in our hearts about what were fasting about, you can get through it. Hey, the savior fasted 40 days, with satan tempting him. So why should it be hard enough if we keep the savior in our mind, and fast for 2 meals. So it comes time to bear testimonies by the elders in our branch. My heart just starts pounding, I can feel the spirit so strong in that meeting. It was like no denying it. Holy cow! haha. I couldn't sit in my chair anymore, so I went and bore my testimony in my broken Spanish that it is. haha. But that was a good experience.Next experience, day of joy and learning! So we have our investigator Pedro were teaching. And we are teaching about, well we kind of got lead by the spirit, and didn't rteach what we had prepared. So its going on, we ask if he would prepare to be baptized on the 24th. He just wasn't sure, he didn't know if God answered our prayers. So my companion asked do you want to know right now if baptism is what your supposed to do. So we go to on our knee's, Pedro offered the prayer. As soon as he finished, we asked how he felt, and bam! Rush of the spirit! It was sooo coool! Like there was no denying that the spirit was there. It was incredible. Love you guys, miss ya. Love receiving dear elders! So thanks! Try to better the lives of those around you!
WIth Love
