Yo se que vive mi Senor
Tortillas: 15
Esta Semana fue buenisima! of the highlights, this week this week there was a conference from Salt Lake via satelite with Elder Bednar. It was wonderful to hear Gods council specifically for Guatemala. Something that I have focused on this week is as I walk down the streets, praying in my mind to recognize the people that God has prepared, and I was amazed to see the kind of people that we talked to. When I was at divisions in an area with another Elder, we found a man that was very interested, who had learned from the missionaries before. He even told us that he was ready to be a member with all of his heart! God does always lead us to those who are prepared. If we follow what God wants, then we can all see miracles in our lives. Also, as we come to experiment upon the word of God we can obtain our own testimonies of their truthfulness and the blessings that God has prepared. Also, a small reminder of the importance of regular prayer and scripture study. That is the way that God leads us safely home, and with these small things we can receive great peace.
mejor milagro:
So, one day my companion and I were walking in one of the villages, when we passed a motorcycle repair shop. Elder Bentley loves motorcycles, so we stopped and talked to the owner and admired a bike. We began to talk to the man, explained who we were, we asked about his family, and he told us he had a wife and 2 sons, but one recently died. We explained that we had something that could bring him much comfort, and asked if we could share it with him and his family, and he said why not right now. We had some time, and next thing we knew he was off on his motorcycle to get his family who lives 3 minutes away. As he was gone we were talking, we put things together, and realized that he was the same man that about a month ago we had helped carry back to his house (because he was drunk) and dig a grave for the baby. He returned and him and his wife explained their sadness and struggles. He explained specifically that he felt angry with God because this had happened when he was trying to be his best. We were then led by the spirt of how to explain to him about the Plan of Salvation, specifically the purpose of this life and our potential. We could see that a new light filled their faces. I am so grateful for the opportunity to bring this amazing restored gospel to all to be able to help them find purpose and live to return to God.
Testimony time:
I just wanted to share my testimony that Jesus Christ lives! He came to earth and lived a life full of challenges, he walked and taught the way to eternal life, and he died and gave the ultimate sacrifice for us. Because he lives, we also will have the opportunity to live again and conguor "physical" death! If we follow him and his gospel, we can also overcome spiritual death, or separation from the presence of God because of our imperfectness. We can return to our celestial homes to live as families in eternal happiness! In our days, we receive instructions and guidance from our savior through his chosen prophets and apostles. He leads his church, and as we chose to follow in faith we can have happiness and peace in a changing world. Of this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Elder Castillo! He taught me so much!
