Wow this week seriously flew by! I feel like yesterday I was writing you guys! But that's a good sign right?
This week we went to Tegucigalpa for a reunion with Elder Alonzo of the 70 and holy cow was it powerful! I think every missionary here in the mission is ready to go to work! No but really it was a lot of great insight of what we need to do and all the faith that we need to have. If you haven't noticed yet I'm pretty sure that's the theme of my mission! In the conference he talked a lot about the story in Luke 8. It is when Christ is walking through the multitude and a woman reached out to touch the robes of Christ and he felt ´the virtue flow out of him.' The woman who had been sick for 12 years was immediately healed. And he says, ¨Daughter be if good comfort, thy faith hath made thee whole, Go in peace." Do we have sufficient faith that we can touch and receive the power of the Lord? The woman did everything on her part. She had complete and pure faith that she would be healed, then she acted on it. Its like when Moses parted the Red Sea he didn't just sit there and wait for the waters to part they had to go down into the waters to prove their faith and then they were able to witness miracles. But it is the same in our lives. We have afflictions in our lives and a lot of times we suffer endlessly from them. We may feel like they will never go away and that we will never rise above. But we can... and the key is if we do our part we can rise above it all. Oph... isn't that so great?? Christ is the only way that we can be saved and he has tanto, pero tanto mercy for every single one of us. The only thing he asks us to do is have faith and then act on that faith to live in harmony with our savior. He is waiting for us with outstretched arms. He has done his part about 2000 years ago in the Garden. he knows every one of our aches and afflictions and now it is our job to take the first steps to come unto Christ and taste of the sweet joy!
This Sunday one good thing happened after another. Sometimes our prayers and answered in different ways than we expect. But we got to church right before sacrament just in time to see our convert Nahum stand up to pass the sacrament!! We entered church a little sad cause we were sure why some of our investigators didn't come but when we saw him pass the sacrament all was well! Then right after we looked to our left and one of our menos activos that we had been working with came to church! We've been visiting her since about December and she kept saying that she knows the place she needs to be is in la iglesia and yesterday there she was! And then everything fell into place cause right before sacrament meeting ended Cindy walked in... meaning that she is ready to be baptized this Saturday! Our zone leaders told us that our two zones are going to combine our baptisms this weekend and have noche blano... possibly 16 baptisms! Its just shows how fast the work is progressing and spreading to all of the world!
I love you all so so much! I hope you have the best week! The church is true... if you still don't know or want to know for yourself our Heavenly Father is just waiting for you to ask him.
Love Hermana Nelson
