{5.2.16} Edification

The week was great and went by super fast! too fast.

First off, we had interviews with President. I love President Richardson. He's a homie. As I've gotten to know him better, I've realized he's just like all of us! He just has all the keys. He reminds us frequently of that hahaha. He was able to answer some questions that I had about being an effective leader as well as some personal questions. It was a very edifying experience as always.

 This whole week was edifying. I just felt as if I was doing what the Lord wanted me to the whole week, especially yesterday. it's a very peaceful and comforting thing to feel the love and support of the Lord, even when things don't always go as planned.

Elder Nielsen's "funeral"

We've seen some more Miracles this week! This guy named Carlos Morales was walking out of his apartment in Bogota, Colombia. He saw two white americans standing on the street corner. He lives in America now, and he thought it was pretty interesting. He asked them in English "are you lost?" Which really shocked them, being in the middle of Bogota Colombia hahaha. Fast-Forward a-bit, those two Missionaries took down his information, it got send to us, and now we are teaching Carlos and his family! They came to church on Sunday. We talked about the foundation of the primitive Church doing Christ's day in Gospel Principles, which PERFECTLY answered a lot of questions Carlos has about churches on the Earth today and why they don't follow the Bible more accurately. He asks amazing questions, and he's finding answers. The only awkward moment was after church when he tried to insist we have a "cervezita" with him. He knows about the word of wisdom now! hahaha, but he understood and we'll finish crossing that bridge later.

The area is doing really great. We see miracles daily. To quote a fellow missionary, Elder Tanner, "the Miracle is in the Finding." It truly is a miracle who God either puts people in our path, or like Carlos he puts the missionaries in the path of the people.

The Zone finished up super strong with 5 baptisms this week. Really proud of what everyone was able to do.

The Church has to be true!
