Week 23 - Refuta Mi Tesis








Hola Mis Amigitos,

Pretty good week this week!  I felt better than last week which was good!  I was getting a bunch of killer headaches.  Turns out I pulled a muscle in my neck and it's super tight, so it's pulling on the other muscles around my skull.  The fact that they're all pulling against my skull is what's giving me so much pain.  Pretty cool!

Some cool things happened this week.  First, we have some investigators that have been investigating for over 2 years.  We always put baptismal dates with them and the dates always fall because the mom says it's not her time.  This time the date fell again, but it wasn't completely sucky!  She said that she has now received her answer.  She says she knows it's her time.  The only thing is that she wants to talk to her whole family first to figure out their thoughts about her baptism (her whole family is Catholic).  We're making progress!

Also we went to met with the drug addict that we're taching (and making tons of progress with).  But when we went he wasn't there, he was out doing something with his dad I think.  We talked with his mom for a while and I felt the need to leave him a little note.  It was really simple.  All I put was that we missed him, hoped everything was well, and that we couldn't wait for the next time we could meet with him.  When we visited them later in the week, we found out he had a really bad day that day.  When he got home the note was everything he needed to make his day better.  It funny how little things like that can make such a big difference.  Even if a little act of service means nothing to us, It might mean a ton for the person receiving it.

To end I want to share a scripture from Mosiah 14 about our Savior.  It says, 
"3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."  After reading this scripture we begin to get an idea of what Jesus Christ did for us.  He went through so much simply because he loves each one of us.  I love the last line:  And with his stripes we are healed.  I hope each one of you remembers to think of Christ this week, and that you can think of things you can do to give something back to Him.

I love you guys!  Have a great week!  Don't forget to take the time to send me a package! (;
