Week 72 Buena Vista

Hey everyone!!!! This week was great for Christmas. We were able to teach Brandon the 10 commandments and the Sabbath day. We got someone to take him to church far in advance, but he said he'd be fine, that he didn't need any ride. We came by the morning of Sacrament meeting, and he wasn't home, and didn't answer the phone. But we came by that night, and the whole family wanted us to stay. They set up a time to feed us dinner. I think the hermano didn't want us to come, because he left like two seconds after entering, but the family liked us. On Christmas eve we made a few brownies and gave them to our investigators. There was one person who we saw on the street, and gave a pamphlet to them, and the next day we came by. We had to walk, and it rained, and she said "you're here in the rain?" and we explained that that was how big the message we had was. We taught the restoration, and when we got to the scene in the sacred grove, her eyes got really big and she was amazed. Even after that, she said "I'm fine". We asked if she wanted to learn more about Jesus and grow faith in Him, she said she was fine where she was at. We left into the rain and later, the English elders came by to the same house. The woman's brother answered and in broken english said he wanted us to come by. We came by and the sister answered, and said that was indeed her brother and we could come by. Christmas eve we found awesome people.

   Christmas is great, and in my studies, I learned the following throughout the week.

    It was all about the Spirit, learned from 3rd Nephi. Like the people often speak with one voice, glorifying God, and they become one, as Christ is one in the Father and the Father in Him. And that happened after they received the Spirit. We "walk with God." so that's why the promise of the sacrament prayers is "that they may have His spirit to be with them. Even when they prayed, it said that they were filled with desire and that the Spirit told them all things they should say, so their mind became God's mind. When we act on the Spirit, our mind become His, we become one with Him an His purpose of Glory.

I hope that made sense. 

I love you all!!!!!!!!
