This week was super good! We went on exchanges with Mission
and Robstown zones. I went with Elder Abo and Loo. They're both super cool guys
so it was fun to work and talk with them! Arely and Martin were confirmed! We
also set baptismal dates with the Garzas and they should be getting baptized
this Saturday! They are honestly a huge blessing from God. We are also still
working with Reynaldo and Camilo who have baptismal dates for the 10th of
November. We're going to need lots of God's help and prayer but hope fully that
goes well! Camilo was coming from a bus from Monterrey and needed a ride to
church so we went with a member and picked him up from the bus station like 20
min away and brought him to church. We showed up like 5 min late and right as
we walked in Arely and Martin were getting confirmed so that was kinda sad we
didn't get to confirm them but it's still good because it happened and I guess it
worked out:) Ivan the 10 year old is still being hard to put a baptismal date
with but hopefully we can help him see how much baptism will bless him and help
him take that next step soon. President went out of town to San Antonio so we
spent the week taking the kids to school which was fun hahah. We have MLC this
week on Thursday and that should be fun! I think I'm going to be leaving the
office when these next transfers come in two weeks. It's been a super cool
experience and I'm glad I have some time to keep working out here in the field.
Spiritual Thought:
I remember like a month ago someone tried to tell us that all we need is the guidance of the holy spirit and we're fine - that we don't need to listen to anyone else's council.
A lot of people say after Christ left he ONLY left us with his holy spirit and that's all that we need to survive. If people believe in the bible then there is physical evidence that that's not true. If all we needed was the holy spirit after Christ had died, books like Ephesians, Galatians, Thessalonians, Corinthians, etc. wouldn't even exist. They were written with the sole intent of supporting the saints, correcting things that were turned apostate, and to help remind them of their divine purpose in life AFTER Christ had left. Soon later the apostles were killed and we fell into apostasy. So of course, it would only make sense we would need a restoration. I'm so thankful that today we have prophets and apostles that can guide us in these latter days and as we LISTEN to the holy spirit we have been given, we can know of the truth that they speak to us. We're not lost. This is the true church. It's a blessing to be out here. Have a super good week!
