Farewell Bloggers



This week in Morazán was another killer!  I love this place.  Some of the experiences are just not sharible in a public blog, but God is changing me, which is such a blessing.  These things are all just starting to become part of me.

We worked hard this week, but for some reason the goals didn´t seem attainable.  We tried to leave with members, and had success doing so, but a lot of appointments fell through.  I think that God showed His greatness on Sunday, because the change in these peoples´ hearts comes from Him, not us.  I couldn´t believe how many people came.  I really believe that the miracles here are going to continue.  God cannot deny blessings to the faithful, and the members in Morazán want this so badly.  They love their neighbors, and they love the kindgom of God.  They look to the future with a blazing faith in that they can make a difference.  I love them so much, and I´m so glad that I can have the time here as a missionary to lay foundations for future growth.

In church, the attendence was maintained at the same number!  I actually thought that after a spike, it would fall at least a little, but these changes are here to stay.  We almost broke the record actually, because a family of five that we´re teaching showed up durring Gospel Priciples... haha.  Late, but we´re happy for the faith that they excercized to get there.  We love that family to death, and they are super receptive to the Spirit.  Ever and Sindy are cool, and they are super excited about the gospel.  When she read the last two paragraphs of the introduction of the Book of Mormon, she looked up and whispered, "this is powerful."  That´s an appropriate response!  Finally!  haha.

Love you all, and I´ll take more time to communicate while in the states.  See you later!
