March 21, 2022 - no somos de este mundo

 Week 30

Thursday I received my new companion who is new to the mission and we have been working hard every day since and have seen some miracles. We have had lessons over the phone with someone we are teaching for 3 days in a row. She really wants to pray to learn if Joseph Smith really was a prophet and we are excited for her to receive an answer. 

We had our lesson with the joven and she wants to be baptized. We are so excited for her, and now we are just waiting for her to share with her mom this desire and then we will be able to have the permission of the mom. 

Yesterday we had a miracle. Because we live in the city people are always working. It is so incredible the work ethic of people and many people need to work super hard just to get by. Well we've been messaging a woman who is working until late at night. Last night we called her, and she answered! We shared a little bit of the first lesson and at the end she said, "you know I think my mom is a member of your church." What? She explained that her mom joined the church about 3 years ago in Ecuador. Her mom is in another country right now, but wow! And then she said ya a member of la iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los últimos tiempos. Haha so we don't really know if she's a member of our church or an apostate church but hey with this connection we invited her to attend church like her mom was doing because really this is a church for everyone, especially families.

1 Nefi 10:22

"el Espíritu Santo me da autoridad para que declare estas cosas y no las retenga."

As we share the gospel, it will have a familiar ring for people. How beautiful is that! Recently a member also shared with us how she was missing home and when she returned back to her house she realized that what she was really missing was her eternal home. We really aren't of this world. No somos de este mundo. I am thankful that we have the opportunity to return to the home in which our spirits long to dwell.
