Good Week

Now in our area we are helping four families to get back active and its working :) We found two new investigators this week. Ana-bella and Gorge, they are the kids of Hmna Gonzales. She is a inactive member of our ward that just moved in. Her son Emiliano has been in the hospital for a really long time. He is like 3 years old. A doctor messed up on a surgury and messed up his throut and now he has one of those things in his neck to breath, like a hole with a tube. He is a miracle story cause they said he wasnt going to be able to come out of the hospital. And I had a really cool experience with him, not only was a making him laugh all day but he cant talk, because of the tube he has, he cant talk. and i remember when we entered into the gate to the house where he was staying, he was outside and i said hi to him. I remember hearing him say hi back, but as clear as ever, he said "Hola". If you remember, he cant talk. It was a complete miracle. I knew he was someone sent from God. My comp and I were able to give him a blessing along with his other two brothers and sisters and his mom.  We ended up giving two more blessings to another two sisters from the ward. Thats 6 blessings. We gave six blessings that day and when we left, I had no stregnth at all.

We also were able to put a fetcha with Ariel. He put the fetcha. For conference weekend :) So we are really seeing some miracles.
This weekend we were able to watch a conference brodcast from Buenos Aires for the area. Elder Russell M. Nelson taked. He i would imagine, had planned to talk in english cause when he got up he sadi (obviously in spanish) "Sorry, im going to talk in spanish today", I was able to witness a Servent of the lord talk with the gift of tounges. The members said they understood him PERFECTLY! He talked his WHOLE talk in spanish. it was amazing

THE LORD LIVES!!!!!!!

Another week of Miracles

This week as was last week, a week of miracles.

This week started with a really amazing opportunity that we had to make empanadas with hmno Leal. When we got to the house and entered we imidiatly felt a change that had happened in his home. Their was a different spirit. a good spirit. He was a different person. We Talked as we made the empanadas and then as we ate we were able to have a spiritual talk. Were able to talk about how he was progressing, and he told us that as of two weeks ago, which is when we started visiting him, he stopped smoking. Which was something that we didnt even know, that he was smoking. Then the biggest of all miracles with them was on sunday, when they came to church :) Tears came to my eyes as i was able to see them walk into those doors so happy as a family. Not to mention the spirit we were able to feel as my companion was able to share his final testimony that he would give in the Palazzo ward. My companion got transfer calls and is going to open an area in Rawson. IT was a super bitter sweet experience as we were able to do our last visits together and feel the spirit super strong together for the last time in the mission. But i know the lord has a why to everything.

My companion waited for his papers before his mission for 8 months and almost didnt go because of the wait. But he had faith in God and he tells me that as i have been with him this transfer, he felt and now knows why he waited that time. To be able to go through everything we went through together. I have learned alot from my companion. He is an amazing guy.

Then we were able to witness two other miracles.

Flia Valdez came to church, they are some menos activos that havent been to church in a while.

A family that is part member showed up in church yesterday. Suzana was a girl that stopped us in the street in her car about 5 weeks ago and asked for the address of the church, we gave her the address and didnt think much of it after. She and her husband and her two daughters came to church yesterday, without an invitiation. She felt that she needed to go. She is a member as of 20 years ago but hasnt came since. Her husband and her daughter that is 8 arent members. We were able to teach an amazing lesson in gospel principals class with our teacher. The spirit was super strong.

 

I know that the lord knows everyone of us. Thanks dad for the talk you sent me. ITs all true what it says. The lord hears our prayers. He loves everyone of you and wants to help you, all we need is faith in him. :)

Keith's amazing week

This week has marked one of the most amazing weeks in my mission. I have seen the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ in my life. I know that he lives and that he knows EXACTLY what we are going to, and is the ONLY person that we can go to to get the help that everyone of us needs. He knows us personally. Let me share why.

 

This week has been an amazing week for alot of reasons. I share this email with the people i most care about and want them to be a part in the change that i am doing in my life.

This week, we helped ALOT of people. A few of these names i can mention are: Raul, Flia Leal, Flia Laurenz, Hmno Castillo, Flia Bisgarra.

We helped Raul to find his answer if the Book of mormon is true, and to be able to give his wife a blessing.

We helped Flia Laurenz by being answers to their prayers and showing up to thier house when they needed us. Helping the Hmno and Hmna with comfort for their son that is passing a difficult stage in his life. To be able to share tears with them and testify that God knows us and knows what we are passing through.

We helped Hmno Castillo come back to church. A few weeks back, he told us he wasnt going back to church. We tried and tried with him, having some of the most spiritual lessons of my whole mission with him. we invited him to talk with God and ask him what he thought about his desision. He a told last week that he wasnt going to settle for anything less than a temple marriage, that he had talked with God and that he knows he should come back to church. He hasnt missed a week for the past three weeks. He brought his daughter and 4 grandaughters to church which arent memebers. A complete change of 360 degrees.

We helped Flia Bisgarra find how they can make it to the temple and be sealed as a family together for Time and all Eternity. Helping them with animo and helping them realize that we are willing to do ANYTHING to help them get there.

Finally and more close to my heart was with Flia Leal. We have been meeting with them for about three weeks or so. My companion and I always felt something special for them but the first 4 weeks of my time here we never could find them in their house. We kept passing by anyway. We were able, with the help of the spirit, pierce the heart of the hmno and help him find his testimony that he never had. He is a member of 10 years and just YESTERDAY we were able to help him find out that these things are true. A MIRACLE. The most sprititual lessons i have had in my mission were with this man and his family. I have never felt better in my life. We walked out of that lesson in aw of what the savior does. The miracles he has perfomed. This man did a 360 degree change. Something i have never seen in my mission until now. I litteraly saw the hand of the lord not only in my life to show my and testify to me that these things are true, but in the life of this man. After while waiting for the bus, i thought "Elder Ross, your fufilling your calling, you may not have 80 baptisms but you do have one thing, a heart, a heart that loves these people for who they are and that doesnt look at them of who they are right now but who they can become and what god thinks they can become. and THAT is what makes an elder fufill his calling. I was able to hug my companion after companionship prayer and feel the "celestial Joy" that all the missionaries talk about. I have seen the had of the lord in my life. I know that the lord knows me personally and knows the people he should put in my life. LIke you people, and like the people here. I know that God lives and loves us. :)
