Give your two mites


Mi familia muchas gracias for your sweet birthday wishes!!! It was a good birthday!!!! :)  LUKE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!!! I CANT BELIEVE YOU ARE 8 YEARS OLD!! YOU ARE GONNA GET BAPTIZED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I´m so happy I can scream!! Luke is going to make covenants with God people!! WOW!! Luke youre now a big boy!!

God is soo good my friends. Antonio is a gem. He is sooo beyond ready to make covenants with God. He is a miracle! He reads the Book of Mormon like CRAZAY.  Every part we mark in the Book of Mormon he reads!! We taught about the restoration and that same day he watched the movie of Joseph Smith. Hes always like.. I WANNA BE  LIKE JOSE SMITH. Ahh what a cool dude. Hes so great. AND LADIES AND GENTS HES GETTING BAPTIZED THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!!!! This Saturday!! :) Please pray for Antonio!!

What else. Oh so just so yall know im pretty sure were baptizing Lamanites. BECAUSE ERICA AND ANTONIO ARE BOTH FROM PERU. HOLLA.

YESTERDAY we had the most aaamazing spiritual experience. It was at 7 pm and we HAD NO IDEA where to go. We had been feeling down cause all of our investigators weren't really progressing. So we prayed and we felt like we needed to go to THE PLAZA. (park:)) So weird. So were walking through this plaza and in my head i was just like.. were wasting ttiiiimmmee. I have developed a serious problem with going crazy if I think we are wasting time, because my time here is ticking so loudly, I dont have time to waste people.  But just then, my amazing little daughter opens her mouth and starts talking to this guy sitting on the bench. His name is Marcelo. 26 years old. He told us that he was just listening to music about God and felt like God was going to put two angels in his path.
WHAT?! What did he just say?  So we start talking to him. He tells us a little about his life. Hes a model.. he lives with his mom and his siblings. He IS SOOO HAPPY. It was sooo weird. Almost to good to be true to see an Argentine smile from ear to ear. THERE WAS LITERAL LIGHT coming of out his eyes. They usually look grumpy or upset here.  He told us that he had been recently praying to God and felt the desire to BE BAPTIZED. He pulled out this little note that he had written to God. Tears, tears and more tears. He told God that throughout his whole life he drank and partied and did all kinds of bad things.. but repented and wants to live his life for Jesus....but doesnt know how. He told us he trusts God that God will make a way for him to serve Jesus. He wants to be a missionary!! AND HE ACCEPTED TO BE BAPTIZED!Me and Baby V were blown away by this guy. He told us that he knew God answered his prayers because he recognized us as servants of God. He told my comp that she speaks with power and that I have the eyes of Jesus. It was so cute! The excitement he had to talk about God was so awesome. Just a good guy. 
We found out he doesnt live here he lives in San Martin so it looks like we wont be able to teach him. ;( BUT can I just say.. Gods children blow me away sometimes. The faith that this guy had.. was incredible. Ive never seen anyone love God sooo much than Marcelo. It really motivated us to keep going, that there are people out there ready and wanting what we have to offer.

Ive been pondering a lot about the passage in Mark 12 about how the poor woman gave all of her life for Jesus. 
Ive been thinking about Antonio and little Lukie today and how they are like this woman. They are promising to give their all for our Savior. 
They are beginning out young, and innocent and it may seem like they dont have all the knowledege in the world.. but thats what I LOVE. This woman was poor.. And everyone judged her for it. But Jesus told him shes giving more than they gave! It just goes to show thay he accpets EVERYONE. EVERYONE has the chance to be baptized. EVERY ONE IS A CHILD OF LIGHT. WE ARE ALL EQUAL IN GODS EYES!! Love you all. 
 41 ¶And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
 42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
 44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her wantdid cast in all that she had, even all her living.
LES AMO UN MON TON!! SIGAN CON SUS SONRISAS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD AND LUKE!!!!

loves!! CARRY ON CARRY ON CARRY ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
