eMail of January 11, 2010

I´m glad to hear that everything went so well. That is great that Caleb is going to get his Star. Well, I forgot to bring my camera with me again so I will have to do it next week. But anyhow, I am doing great. We still have a baptism for the 24 and hopefully some more the next week. We are going to have to fight for it though. Most of the baptisms we do are on Sunday.

As for some cool experiences, I must say that this last week I have felt the guidance of the Spirit more than ever. Many great things happened, but also some not so great. The Spirit warned us of a couple things, with out investigators. There was one who gave us a cold shoulder that nearly got baptised just before, but we felt that it was going to happen the day before.

In the other direction, we were looking for people to teach and we thought of a convert that has been less active, so we went by. She wasn´t there but we went next door and met a lady that said that she believes in the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith but has never been baptised. We also had a bunch of references to go by and we went by one during the week, but the girl said that she couldn´t at that moment. I felt good about it so we kept going by after we didn´t find her again. Yesterday we went by and her Mom came out and said that her daughter wasn´t there, but she also said that she is a member that has been inactive for 11 years. Hearing that I felt really good about everything, the family is truly interested in living the gospel and accepting it in their lives. Well, there are a couple of cool experiences with the Spirit.

Also once this week both of us, my comp and I, studied the same subject about the Spirit, without planning it before. The Spirit guided us both to learn about the same thing and it helped our studies so much. I feel so motivated right now and grateful to be here. I am where I need to be and am grateful. I love you all and hope that you can feel the Spirit´s guidance like that always.
