Well, its a smaller world than you think!
This week started off with our awesome zone conference, we focused on growing our testimony about the prophet Joseph Smith. We saw an awesome talk by president Oaks that talks about the legal history of all the allegations against Joseph Smith in his life. In over 100 legal actions against him in his life, he was never found guilty of one. And in the end the first attorney general of Utah said that "Joseph Smith was the best lawyer and the best man I have known in my whole life." Truly Joseph Smith was a great man, but most important he was chosen of God!
Anyways, we also had a super crazy good lesson with Sergio Eduardo, before we could even formally begin the lesson he already mentioned that he knows he needs to get married to truly live the law of chastity and also give up smoking and that he has already stopped drinking! And all this before we have ever been able to teach one commandment! Anyways this week finished up with Elder Vanezuela and Elder Bellez showing up out of nowhere to our sacrament meeting, and just for context Elder Vanezuela is the seventy and the acting president of all of the church in Mexico!!!
The best part is that Vanessa was asked to bear her testimony before the seventies spoke, and they were very impressed by her sincere, clear testimony! What great happiness comes through participating in the work of the lord!
Anyways, love you all, talk to y'all soon!
