This week we had an awesome experience with our investigadora's husband Frank (not his real name). He has a good vision for his family, and that vision is a family dressed in white in the temple. It turns out he has had a really hard time with his wife lately, he was praying to know what to do. He was about to leave his wife and daughter for good when He saw us in the street one night while driving his taxi. He stopped and talked to us, asked us to teach his wife and daughter the gospel. Then he said that night he prayed to know if he should stay with her even though she had done some very offensive things and hurt him very deeply. The spirit told him, quedaste con su familia. ella no entiende mal y bien, y ella le necesita para entender el evangelio. si quedara, valdria la pena. le ama a ella, no salga
Stay with your wife and daughter, she doesn't understand good and evil, and she needs you to help her understand the gospel, and if you stay, it will all be worth it. You love her. don't leave.
He took that as his answer and has worked so hard to help his family accept the gospel. and he is fighting the adversary every day for his eternal family. He understands perfectly that this is a war, a war with a great prize. Eternal families. The lesson I learned from Frank is this:
FIGHT FOR YOUR ETERNAL FAMILY!
Also I want to tell you about Miguel Angel, he is a member that helps us a ton. He spends every night in his humble little home praying that his neighbors will accept the gospel, and accept the missionaries, he has literally shared it with everyone in his whole colonia, (neighborhood) including the local christian pastor who seems very interested in the church (and has about 70 in his congregation
) But the part about him I love the most is he showed me the little mat he has next to his bed where he neals to pray every night, he told me I don't know how many times I have sat hear pleading with the Lord to give me the opportunity to share the gospel with my neighbors and I don't know how many tears I have cried when they just won't accept it. But he keeps working, keeps sharing and keeps living the gospel. Every morning he works in the streets to smooth them out (theyre dirt roads) in his Mormon service vest trying to talk with anyone who goes past.
He is an example to me of the importance of Sharing the Gospel. It is everything.
SHARE IT!!!
I love you all and miss you all.
My companion and I are doing great, even though we are having a lot of trouble finding new investigators right now, but all is well and we are having a lot of fun
mucho amor
