So this week was a week of learning. I really loved my studies in Luke 15 this morning. I love the parable of the prodigal son. It really touched my heart that God really is always ready to receive us with open arms if we do repent and come back! I loved this verse: ''Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.'' Luke 15:10
Truly there is joy in heaven when we repent and come unto Him. So Luis Espinoza is still doing great! He is getting baptized the 12th! We taught him some commandments this week. We taught him the Sabbath, ten commandments and tithing. He is the best. I admire his faith a lot. He said is it is a commandment then I will obey it, when we explained fasting. He is willing to do everything to keep the commandments. I love it. And well we got to teach his sister Laura and little brother Nicolas this week too.... they are also getting baptized the 12th with Luis! Its awesome! We are also teaching Jimena (theres a picture attatched) She is super cool. She had forgotten to pray all week and was again struggling. We testified of how prayer helps and that if she prayed again she would be able to feel that peace again. She wants to come to church too but is struggling to not work Sundays. Shes great though and we have lots of faith in her! She said she would pray that night again and begin to trust in Him again. So also many of our investigators this week felt they could not pray because they felt unworthy to...It was really sad, so we explained that God always wants to hear our prayers not matter how obedient we are being. Through prayer we can find peace that we cannot feel in any other way and it is also through prayer that we begin a change in our hearts to feel worthy. I called Nargila my first convert and she is doing really well! She is going to church and has friends too! It makes me super happy that she has stayed strong in the gospel! But yeah that was may week! A few of random things. a bird pooped on my comps leg during a lesson hahaha English classes are on fire with our only 2 investigators haha but its super fun so its ok. They learned how to pray in English it was so cute, Laura can now pray in English!! And we also finally got pics with the ''Cochabamba''
