Wow, I guess the church really is true!...
Another week of good 'ol grinding with the work in Villa Juarez, this last week we've had great experiences with using the spirit to help people really realize the need to change their living to see the blessings of the gospel. We've been able to do that mostly through the Book of Mormon, but in particular we had a great experience with a family that has had many problems physically and with relationships inside the family, but with just using the first three chapters of 1st Nephi they told us at the end of the lesson that they felt a spirit of peace and unity they had never felt before.
On Sunday we had an interesting time when the electricity failed in the house of prayer so we had the sacrament meeting in the primary which has the only window to let light in the building. Then we had a sweet talk from an eleven year old in the branch, everyone, even the kids, are used to giving talks and Manuel told us how after he was baptized one day he asked heavenly father to answer his prayer if the church was true, and then he told us how after going to one of his friends churches he realized and said to himself, "Wow, the church really IS true!"
Hehe, and interesting but very powerful testimony. Anyways, transfers are next week, we'll see how they go, most think I'll be going back to San Luis Potosi, which would be nice, but who knows!
Love you all!
