Week 41
We loved the progress we saw this week with Aylin, a joven. Wednesday we challenged her to read the book of mormon even when she has reasons not to. We can always read one verse. Saturday her and her friend told us in the youth activity that they had both read each day and told us what they had learned! They had a new light and we loved seeing them talk about Christ.
This week we had a great conference with Hermano Corbitt from the general young men's presidency. It was amazing. We analyzed Alma 5:15.
"Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created you? Do you look forward with an eye of faith, and view this mortal body raised in immortality, and this corruption raised in incorruption, to stand before God to be judged according to the deeds which have been done in the mortal body?"
He showed us multiple examples in the book of Mormon when la gente miró hacia adelante con el ojo de la fe y vieron la promesa cumplida. This is grand faith and he reminded us that studying and looking forward (not to the side, back or down) can really help us strengthen our faith in Jesus Christ. In Mosiah, the people looking forward to the birth and atonement of Jesus Christ, received a remission of their sins in the moment, before Christ was even born. Look forward as if you have already received the completed promise and then make plans to receive it and the Lord will do the rest!
Afterward we ended up having a fire lesson. With transfers we asked if we could come over and share a message because for some reason or another our lessons with this family keep getting canceled. Well not this week!
We got to share a message and answer some questions of the boyfriend of a member who is less active. And her final words at the end of the lesson were nos vemos el domingo hermanas! The Spirit was also so strong as I got to share the words of the first vision. The restoration really is such a powerful message all on its own. Sadly they forgot to set the alarm and slept in yesterday, but this next week I have hope they'll be there.
I also have transfers. After 8 months in Zona Toyopan, I am off to Zona Cartago in Tres Rios with Hna. Brown! Sadly, I didn't get to see all the fruit of my labors. But as a member told us after learning about our transfers, in our next area we will see the hand of the Lord greatly in our areas for the work we did here in Montelimar, and I believe it!
Mucho amor,
Hermana Warburton

Lots of goodbyes
She made us hearts
