Te damos Señor nuestras gracias por un profeta. Tu profeta. Nuestra profeta. Presidente Russell M. Nelson. Profeta, vidente y revelador.
Well this week has been crazy I am going to put a little bit of the letter I wrote to President so you can at least see a little bit about what is happening with me.
Well this has been an interesting week for us. We started out with lots of fire we had a work visit with Gamarra 2 and Elder Lewis came to our area, we went out to go change the world and we talked with everyone and they were all rejecting us and all of our appointments were falling through so we decided to contact our three people after an appointment fell through, like we had in our focuses for the week! As we were contacting I get a distinct impression to talk to a young man that was 15 years old. We talked with him and started asking him how he was and if we could teach a lesson with his family, he said that he would need to talk with his mom, who just then and then was getting home from work. He called her over and she came looking concerned and asked if everything was alright, we explained the situation and asked if we could share something with them and she rejected us the first time but we insisted and she accepted. We then were able to teach a family of 4 and later on in the lesson their friend came and sat in on the lesson as well. That was our spiritual experience and testimony that if we talk with everyone we will find the elect!
The visit with the Prophet was one and only. I was happy that we made it and that we didnt get lost like the other buses, we may not have been the closest to him but it was a great experience! I felt so priveledged to be able to see him and to hear his powerful words. I know that I can be a witness of his words and his calling as prophet. I will testify of power and of the ways that he can bless the lives of all our investigators.
I felt that it was a meeting that will mark me forever and will help me to become the missionary and the person that God needs me to be in these moments of my life. I felt that he answered my questions and that they know what I needed in these moments. I know that I felt the spirit and I felt of the urgency to go and preach the gospel to everyone that we can. I felt that they really do love God with all of their hearts and they will do all that they can to help us on the way!
I am going to apply the things that they taught. One of the topics that I enjoyed was that he said that in 3 Nephi 12:48 that even Christ wasn’t perfect until he had returned from heaven and was a resurrected glorified being. The thing that we needed to do was not worry so much if we had made a mistake we just need to keep on going until we are perfect! I also liked the teaching to realize my divine potential and work towards attaining it. It was something special to hear and have the blessing to model our lives after you and sister Stauffer and I am going to do better at that. I have listed a lot of the things that you both do and am praying each day for some of those things so that I can be more like you guys later on. I promise to keep striving and doing all that I can even with the things that I have been feeling. We are going to set higher goals in contacting and achieve them as well!
We were able to see the Prophet and his wife, Elder and Sister Stevenson, President Falabella and his wife, Elder Montoya and his wife, and Elder Held and his wife and the 5 mission Presidents in Lima. It was a wild experience, starting off with us almost not making it on time some of the buses got lost thankfully not us but a lot of the buses got there a little late. We sat on some of the last seats so we were far from him but it was a great experience all the less.
We got to hear many of their teachings but the best thing was when the Prophet talked about 3 Nefi 11-30 and about every single chapter and some of the doctrine and revelation behing those chapters! I think that I have to say that sister Nelson was the best or second best speaker her talks were amazing and trully inspiring. I am so happy to be able to explain about the experience that we had, I wish that I could do it a little better than I am right now.
I know that I can testify of the Prophet stronger than ever and explain the things that I have felt as I heard his words! I know that he is the Prophet of God and that he receives revelation for each and everyone of us. I went with a couple of questions and I know that each one of them was answered. I will always testify of his power and of the way that he can and will direct our lives. I dont know if I will be able to explain everything that I felt there but I know that I felt of his love, his guidance, the power of his calling, and the truth of his words. That is about all I can send for this week I love you guys lots!!!!
