Te Amo Mucho

Hola family

It was another wonderful week!

It was my first experience witnessing an Evangelico prayer. Wow! We shared the pictures (laminas) of Jesus Christ’s life and his ministry with the 3 active Evangelico women. It was interesting how they agreed with a lot of thing that we testified of. Evangelicos are like Mormon want-to-be’s. They clam they have the priesthood authority and they give it to women in their church also. They claim they have the correct baptism because they do water by immersion also but they lack the authority.

I was very saddened by their manner of prayer when one woman offered the closing prayer. The prayer started off with saying Lord over and over which bothers me because I think it’s almost like taking His name in vain. Then she started yelling and the other women followed yelling the same thing. I started praying that they would stop. My companion started poking me and so I peeked at her and she pointed in the direction of the women, so I looked and they were standing and waving there arms up over there head and yelling. By this time the Spirit was long gone and my body quaked and I was almost nauseous because of the feeling in that room. I felt like she was calling all the demons of Satan himself. Finally the chanting stopped!

I wouldn’t ever in my life say Amen to such Blasphemy. I just packed up my things and said good-bye. As I hugged them good-bye her body was shaking and her eyes were watery. She also had an evil grin on her face as if she was proud of herself for calling the demons. I just had to shake my head and leave because I was dizzy and the room was spinning. I gasped for air because I was suffocating in that room. Then I offered up a prayer to gain back his spirit.

Later I thought of how Joseph Smith would stop the situation by saying ‘‘Silence ye heathens of the earth. I command you in the name of the Son Jesus to Be Still or you and I will die this instant!’’ I’m pretty sure it talks about the Holy ghost in there bible too and I’m sure it talks about how the Spirits voice isn’t in the earthquake or in the thunder, but it is a still small voice that comes as a good thought and a peaceful feeling.

My companion and I found a house to one of our contacts and the women said that we couldn’t come in because her son was sick. So my companion and I asked if we could come inside and offer a prayer to bless her son with health. She let us in when we said we wouldn’t take a lot of her time. We entered, introduced ourselves and offered up a sweet prayer to bless him with health and bless their house, and then we set up an appointment for next week. I was so thankful for this experience and offered a prayer of thanks for that special moment.

When Marisol one of our investigators went to Beldivia to see her family they talked her into not getting baptized and that she should separate from Hno. Patricio and not get married. So when we stopped by his house he told us this and that they were separated. I was devastated because I knew what it was like for my family, parents and siblings. So as I prayed for them daily. Yesterday we stopped by their house and my companion asked me to share a scripture and I shared the 2nd article of faith…man will be punished for his own sins and not for Adams transgressions. This gave me hope that I would only suffer from my own sins and not from others. They later announced that they were back together!! I don’t know what happened but I’m sure the prayers helped. I’m glad that I shared my experience and testified of the importance of families.

Hermana Carmela the recent convert is sharing the gospel with others...oh happy day!Two investigators attended the church with us this week and it was a great experience to explain the importance of the sacrament and the symbolism. It was perfect because Elder Galatti testified of the Sacrament and all the leaders in the church spoke about the priesthood and gave great advice on how to raise his family.

Sorry I haven’t responded I’ll read the letters tonight. Today is the first time that I was able to copy so I’ll write ya’ll latter.
