SO, Yesterday, Elder Guevara and I had to go to
the church(house) early so that I could practice the piano to play in
Sacrament Meeting. We got off of the bus, and 2 women got off with us.
One of the ladies we had talked to about 2 weeks earlier and the other
was her sister. Her name is Julia and had told us 2 weeks earlier that
she was a member and was looking to find the church! And her sisters
name is Jenny. We walked up the hill to the church and we talked with
them. And we found out that NEITHER of them were members and that they
love the church and are going to keep coming !! I want to tell you about
the power that music has!!! So i was practicing the piano and it was
just Elder Guevara and I and Jenny in the room. I started to play "I
know that my Redeemer Lives", and as I played i looked over at Jenny, and
she was staring at the piano and just balling!! I didn't know what to do
, however i felt as though I should keep playing!! The spirit filled the
room!!! So Jenny told us that Her Nephew died about 2 months ago. And
she was SOOOO SAD!! After sacrament i went up to them and asked them how
it was and they both loved it!! Afterward, I told the gospel doctrine
teacher,(usually I teach) that we should teach the spirit world and the
plan of salvation! So we read Alma 40:11-14 with everyone, and as we
read, Jenny and Julia were VERY happy!! They were both filled with the
spirit and i knew that they knew that her nephew was in paradise!! I am
so thankful for the plan of salvation, and I'm so grateful for a loving
heavenly father that literally is going to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to
save ALL of his children!!
So Julio and Jackelin should be
getting baptized this weekend! Yesterday we went to the house and WE
were like "Do you really want to do this??" and they were like, "the
money, we have to pay the hosue on Friday
and for food, so we don't have the money!" Elder Guevara then said, "I
promise you both, In the name of Jesus Christ, That if you give us the
money for the wedding, and pay the house on Friday,
You WILL NOT go hungry and WILL have food on the table!!" It was so
quiet! Then i said " I have a tithing envelope right here. Are you
willing to put the money in this envelope and give it to us for the
wedding?" Julio then said "I WILL PAY!" We then put the money in the
slip and sealed it up until Friday!
They were both crying so hard and i could feel that they ahd made some
major progress!! So they are doing great so pray for them:)
I f you could send me an EASY HYMNS BOOK that would be GREAT!
