La obra de milagros

This week was filled with meetings, counsels, divisions, and other fun things that come with the responsibility of leadership. But it was super fun! I love working one on one with the sisters and helping them to become better while I get to learn from them as well. It´s amazing to me that when the sisters are struggling, when there´s some kind of problem in their companionship or when they have a question, the Spirit helps me to know exactly what to say and do. This work without the Spirit would be impossible. 
The work is quickly hastening here in my beloved Cruz del Sur. We started working  this week with some lists the bishop gave us and searching and walking to find all these addresses of less active members. While knocking on the doors from these lists, we honestly saw a ton of miracles. For example, when we knocked on the door of one less active, he wasn´t home, but his wife was. We asked to share something with her and she invited us in. She´s not a member and as we taught the restoration the Spirit was strong. She accepted our message, our invitations (including baptism), and another visit this next week. Her name´s Sara, and honestly, I couldn´t help but feel over and over again that I had promised her in the Pre-Earth life that I would find her, teach her and help her and her family to receive the Gospel. 
Yesterday at church, I was a little disappointed cause some of our investigators were unable to come last minute, but then I turned around to see 7 of our less active members in the sacrament meeting and my heart was filled with joy. Afterwards, one family in particular, the Uscanga family, shared with us that after 3 years inactive, they had come to church because they could feel of our genuine love for them and through our love and testimonies, they were able to remember their own testimonies and that had rekindled their desire to actively attend church. They have the goal to attend church every sunday and prepare their 18 year old son to leave on a mission before the end of the year.

I´m pretty sure that there´s nothing better in this world than seeing this change in others and helping them to come unto Christ. This is the best time of my life. There´s not a moment that goes by where I´m not smiling, I just can´t contain all this happiness. 
Good news, tomorrow I have divisions in PRADOS VERDES! So pumped to go see the wonderful members and my converts there. The work of the Lord is moving forward.
