You cant seem to stop the miracles!!! They just keep coming, it is like someone opened up a huge flood gate and Whaboooom miracles.
This week I think ill begin with the funny story and then well get to a few others. Today (P-day) we got together (seven zones) to play some dodge ball, it was epic. Our team in the first match lost by a hair so we all huddled together afterwards to come up with the game plan. We were struggling to think of what we could do when Captain Moroni.... I mean Elder Hutchins came up with a wise strategy. When Elder Miller gave the call I would go up to the front line of the gym and run, back and forth dodging the ball and bringing as much attention to me as possible, the second game we played we put it into practice, I felt a little like Samuel the Lamanite as the balls hurled around me, but no one could hit me, long story short it was a sure win. enough said.
This week on Thursday we had a special conference with Elder Di Geovani from Argentina it was a powerful conference, the spirit was there in abundance and much was learned. My favorite words actually came from Presidente Arrington, he told us directly, that there is no such thing as the 'faith to find' people to teach or the 'faith to baptize' but really the only faith that there is, that is important, and is truly faith, is the faith that we have in Jesus Christ. If we want to find more people to teach we must increase our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Its as simple as that.
This week Saturday was an incredible day, Macarena and her mother Hilda were both baptized and Sunday they were both confirmed members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. It was a good week. The best part was when we set up the appointment this Tuesday to talk with them and the family history worker to help them get names ready for the temple in April!!!! that is going to an experience that they will not forget!
The two sisters who were baptized last week Viviana and Jaqueline will also be at that trip to the temple and it will be a spiritual feast. Sunday we had a lesson with both of them and the ward mission leader and his family and we spoke of the importance of the family and read the family a proclamation to the world and at the end Jaqueline and Viviana both had their eyes fill with tears and in the closing prayer Jaqueline expressed her gratitude to her Father for showing her (in a moment that she had thought that she was all alone) that really there were a lot of people who care about her and love her and are in a way her family.
I love the Lord's work, He is at the head, we just have to work hard and diligently and things will play out as they should, Please everyone help the missionaries where you are, or to paraphrase a special witness of Jesus Christ; lift where you stand.
Elder Hutchins
