Hey everyone,
How has your week
been? Here down south it has been warm as usual with just a touch of crazy...
because of the elections. People down here are going crazy at the fact that
Trump won because a lot of them supported Hillary. But I bet that is how it is
everywhere in the USA right now. And I apologize to all Spanish speakers if the
title of this email is not translated correctly. Wasn't sure how to translate
it from English to Spanish.
But anyways this week
(apart from elections) was pretty great. We had lots of lessons with lots of
people and we even had an investigator shout us down to see when we were coming
back to their house to visit. It was pretty awesome. We had a super awesome lesson
with a less active family last Tuesday too! They are the H family and they
have 4 kids the oldest of which is 18, and they hadn't been sealed in the
temple yet since the dad is less active. So we went over to their house on
Tuesday for a FHE, we were in charge of the lesson of course so we chose to
talk about eternal families. We had each of them tell us what their favorite
memory was and most of them were something the family had done together. So we
talked about how everyone can have experiences as a family like these fore
eternity in a perfect, perfectly happy family. then Sister Henriquez (who is
active in the church) ask us what happens when her daughters get married and
get sealed to their families, she asked if they would still be an eternal
family since they have their own families now. we told her yes and that her
grandkids, great-grandkids, and great great grandkids would all be sealed to
her in the eternities. She started crying at this thought and was completely
overwhelmed. The spirit was super strong so Elder Barron and I both testified
about eternal families and the joy it brings to know our families can be
together forever, and now the whole family is deciding on a date to be sealed
and the father says he will do anything to be sealed to his kids and wife. It
was super awesome!
I love this gospel and
being on a mission reminds me every day how much of a blessing it is. I don't
know any other church that says families will be eternal and so I feel very
blessed to be part the true church of Christ that gives us this
reassurance and the necessary ordinances for this eternal blessing.
I love you all and
hope you have an awesome week!
