March 23, 2015 Naranjal!

Wow, this week was AMAZING!! FLAT OUT AMAZING! I will tell you some of the things that have happened!

Tuesday we had a family that was going to get sealed!! The devil was attacking this family so they couldn't go! My zone leader comp and I went over there to encourage them! I bore powerful testimony que the Iglesia (that the church) was true and that they need to do this!! After, it was like 8:40 I had A HUGE impression to go by the church which was like 15 minutes walking but we needed to be obedient to get home at 9! I followed the spirit and we went. I didn't know where I was going but something told me to go by the church so we went and got to the church and the spirit told me one more street then another street! When we got to that street I saw a house, it was pitch black and something hit me like a wall!! It was that house!! So we went! I knocked and yelled nobody was home! So we went home! Like okay what was that? The next day I had the impression to pass by and they were there! It was a family of 7 people that have been inactive for 2 years and have been praying to have the missionaries come to them! WOW THE SPIRIT WORKS!! THIS CHURCH IS TRUE!! They came to church this Sunday!!

This friday we had the great opportunity to have interviews with President Torres! He came to our zone! We went to this family that was going to be sealed because soo many things have been happening. My other comp and I got to work with President for 5 hours! We gave them all priesthood blessings. My Mission Pres. is a powerful man!! I Love it!! It was awesome to work by his side!!

Finally we got to go to the Temple on SATURDAY!! WHAT A BLESSING!!!!! We got up at 3:30 in the morning yeah I was dead!! I was his escort like dad was for me when I first went in! IT WAS SOO POWERFUL, I LOVE THE TEMPLE!! It truly is the house of the Lord!!! I got to be a witness for the marriage! It was my first sealing!!! THAT IS MY ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO GET MARRIED IN THE TEMPLE!!!!!! I LOVE that it was soo powerful!! That family is sealed for time and all eternity!!! Then what added more to my joy was to see my convert Vicente at the Temple! HE DID WORK FOR HIS PARENTS!!!!! HE WAS THERE I JUST STARTED CRYING!!!! I saw my convert at the temple!! It was an amazing week!!

Sunday!!! Guess who spoke again!! hah YES ME!! I loved it!!! I talked about the book of Mormon and that we have the truth and you guys can really find the love Jesus has for us in this book!! Soo many people came up after to me just crying after my talk it was super powerful!! I love you sooo much my wonderful family! I could not be more proud of my amazing sister!!! I LOVE YOU SOO MUCH BRITTANY!!
