Hi Everyone!
This week has gone by so fast! I have been out for almost
5 months now! So crazy to think about how fast the time goes. I never want my
time as a missionary to end.
I don't have much to report this week, because a lot of
crazy things happened, and so we weren't able to teach a lot. BUT, our
investigator family, the González's came to church for the 3rd time! They are
falling in love with the Gospel, and it is so fun to watch.
We were actually teaching the Gonzalez Family on
Saturday, and during the lesson, one of the daughters asked if she had to be
baptized again if she wanted to join the church. We explained that she would
have to be baptized by the proper authority of God. She was a little upset, and
said she's already been baptized, so she doesn't want to do it again. Then, her
dad (who is also an investigator) said to her,
"No! Do you not understand? After the death of Jesus Christ, the
proper authority of God was taken off the earth! But, that authority to baptize
and stuff has been restored by a prophet of God named José Smith! You need to
be baptized by the proper authority of God!"
I WAS SPEECHLESS. Like, he was spouting off straight up
Preach My Gospel! (a publication missionaries teach from) My eyes actually watered because I was so impressed and
happy! But, it was a different kind of happy. It was a happiness
that only comes from the Spirit. It was such an incredible experience to watch
someone who knew nothing 3 weeks ago, testify of the Restoration. I am so proud
of our investigators, and I know the Lord is too! The Gonzalez Family is
praying about being baptized on the 18th of February. So, we are hoping they
receive an answer soon! We're so excited!
I love you all!
Till next week,
Hermana Abigail Valenta
