It's been a while


That is a good song title to my next country hit no? "It's been a while" haha kidding, but I have been slacking on the mail. The area I am in is sweet. Its called MonoBlock in the Villa Soldati. It's full of buildings that are like 14 floors high and there are a lot of people. We are having a baptism this weekend and then on the 3rd of August. I am excited, We have seen many miracles this week with finding new people. I am excited to see the results of all this. I am about to hit my one year mark and thought about how time flies so fast. It's like I am on the downside hill of the mountain now and I don't know how to feel. haha. This week was an awesome week because I had a new companion from Colombia. I didn't know the area very well and neither did he. We started with nothing and due to the humility of being a little lost and the hard work we put in we are being blessed immensely with fruits. (like apples and oranges, haha) jk. But seriously I know that the Lord has been working by our side all this time, because if he wasn't we'd be in step one still. We are doing well here.


We talked to a lady that would not accept the Book of Mormon, she only wanted the bible and said that this gospel was a gospel from the man. Explaining the Book of Mormon to her, I feel like my testimony grew, because even though she didn't want to accept it I felt the spirit testify like it says in 2 Nephi 29: 8 The book of Mormon is just more proof that God exists and loves everyone and that everyone is important to him. People will try to disprove the Book of Mormon because they know that everything is based on that, Joseph Smith, The Church, Everything. I feel so blessed to be able to be responsible for the work of the Lord here. It's a responsibility that if done well and with obedience the joy received from doing it is more than imaginable. I love you guys and hope you have a great week, For those that want to feel the same way, grab your Book of Mormon, If you don't have one then talk to the Mormons, Read it, Ponder it, And then pray about it!
