Feb 23- 29‏

This week I was able to testify with conviction that Satan is real and that he is trying to separate all families one by one. When the Chileans said that they don’t have time to listen to our message I looked them straight in the face and said that Satan is going to separate thier family if they didn’t have total faith in Jesus Christ and His words of hope of eternal families. Really we only need enough money for food shelter and clothes, the rest is wasted extra. If this money is keeping you from your family or the Gospel of Jesus Christ, then it is not worth it. Only through Jesus Christ our Savior can we be saved from the miserable grasp of Satan. We must have total faith in Jesus that His teachings are really true, and that He will pour out His promised blessings when we keep His commandments. This is the answer. His Love! My love for the scriptures grows everyday! This week I was watching the church video ‘his hands’,which is a short movie about the love of Christ that is easy to share with alot of people because it is 6 minutes long. There was a short clip that showed Jesus teaching the people. I was in awe at how amazing that would be to sit in on one of His lessons and teachings. I wondered what he was saying and I wondered if I was teaching the same way that Christ would if he was here. I wondered if I was knocking on the right doors or if I was saying the things he would say personally, and teaching in the manner that he would teach. I realized that I have the oppurtunity to be taught by Him the missionary of missionaries everday in personal study! How great is His Love! Are we taking advantage of this? What does he want to teach me today? The answer is the guidance of the Holy Spirit in sincere prayer and scripture study.

It was sad that Miriam that has been studying with us and praying to know if her baptism in the other church is correct in the eyes of the Lord said that she didn’t have time to meet with us this week. I hope we didn’t loose her. I had the thought to drop by and give her a treat to let her know that he love her so we’ll see how it goes!

Nelida’s mom Olga dosen’t believ in the book of Mormon and so I was prompted to share the scripture that I remembered from seminary. I feel that I was led by the spirit because I don’t remember where the scripture is now but as I testified of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon I was able to flip right to the scripture in the Bible that testified of the stick of Juda (the Bible) and the stick of Joseph the (Book of Mormon) would be one in my hand. I asked her if she believed that the Bible was the words of God. I asked her if she believed that Ezequiel was a prophet of God. She said yes. We taught her that yes this was prophesy from a prophet of God and that he received revelation that God would bring us scripture from Joseph’s decendants in the Americas. I love the scriptures. I know they are true, there is every proof in the world that the Book of mormon is true, but of course we told her that we could show her many more examples put that she needed to ask her Heavenly Father with faith if it was true. Nelida is preparing to be baptised this weekend. She is receiving her own testimony and she knows that we love her and are prowd of her decicion. I enjoyed sharing a message with her about conversion, covenants, and fe. She didn’t know what conversion was so we read in the tropical guide for a clear understanding and then I shared my favorite example of someone who was truely converted. My friend had a rough young life going from foster home to foster home with no family he was lost in life. He didn’t know his purpose but when he found himself in jail with a mormon he realized that there was hope and a pure love of Christ. That night he prayed to God to see if what the mormon shared was true. In his prayer he said that he really wanted to know if the mormon was right and that Jesus’s church was in the earth today, and he said that when he received an answer that he would act and give up all the bad things he did and repent. He received his answer! He could barely sleep he was filled hith the Love and light of Christ and from that day forward he was forever changed. He has served a mission and invites everyone he meets to listen to this message, he invited them to church and the activities and to listen to General Conference. He is a great example of a Disciple of Christ and someone that had a change of heart.

Wow this week we met an amazing woman! Her story is alot like my families and I feel like I am prepared to teach her for her specific conserns because I have had similar trials. We contacted her in the street and she shared that she had some kind of dream about one single sister missionary that knocked on her door twice as a joke, but we told her that missionarys are never alone. She said that it was some kind of dream on a day that she was struggling and it brought her cheer. The story is very long and I don’t have time to tell all of it but I think it’s cool that she receives dreams about visitation with missionarys that have missionary tags with the name of Jesus Christ.

This week I was able to visit a Chile hospital for the first time! I was so excited to go check it out and cheer up 3 people in my ward that were in the hospital this week. The hospital wasn’t as pretty as Mountain Vista when I worked there, but I didn’t care it was a hospital! There are not many people that like hospitals but I have never been a patient thanks to God, but for me the hospital is full of excitement...weither it is interesting patients or diseases, and there are always people that need help, happiness, and love.

With much love Hermana Wade XOXOXO
