Hey,
Yesterday we were blessed with the baptism of Jessica Gramajo and this next week she will be confirmed and another kid named Johnny Quintana of 14 years old will be baptized after church! I will send photos!

This week has been really cold, it makes working hard that much more rewarding! I love it. Yesterday we had a conference with the stake president of where I am serving in Chacabuco and our mission president also. I learned some cool things,

1. Obedience and unity brings success
2. Obedience brings blessings but Exact Obedience brings us Miracles.
I also like when the stake president, Presidente Catala told a story when he was a bishop he remembers seeing a park full of people and he said he thought to himself "There's gotta be like 400 hundred people here, I would like to have 400 hundred people in church this week" he said. Then he heard a voice say to him, "What would you do, bishop, with 400 hundred new people in church this week?" He thought to himself " I don't know" Afterwards he taught us that one can have all the desires in the world to have something, but if this person isn't prepared to receive such a thing then they will not receive it. That we should prepare ourselves individually and as wards and stakes to further the work of the Lord. We can prepare ourselves by being exactly obedient to the Lord and doing everything he asks, and receive revelations and guidance from the Lord in how to guide his church here on the earth and how to become who we should be and meet our potentials.
It was soo cool what I learned and the knowledge I gained.
I was also studying about Faith. There are 5 Principles of faith.
1. Desire to believe
2. works
3. Testimony and knowledge
4. Miracles
5. Power
The Faith is a principle of Power. I studied about how Nephi grew and passed each step and phase of it all. It explains a lot of it in 1 Nephi 2:16 his desire and his works (what he did to gain knowledge and testimony). He received knowledge and testimony and the miracle of his faith was when he got the plates from the servant of Laban. and the power of his faith was when his brothers had him bound up on the ship he broke the bands that tied him up. I am amazed what one can learn through reading the Book Of Mormon. I am happy to say that i know that this book is true and that it is the base of the church. Without the Book of Mormon this church wouldn't exist. I leave this as my testimony in as things I have been able to learn through prayer, revelation and study in the name of our beloved Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ amen!
Quotes I like: Yes, you can, It's not about how hard you get knocked down, rather how hard you get knocked down but keep getting up and moving forward.
