Laura and shunashi, and Elder Bednar!!

July 16th, 2018

Another week down and it was a good one!  Laura and Suanshi were baptized this week!  Laura is married to Abelardo who had been inactive for about 10 years!  The way we found them was such a miracle.  We did exchanges with one of the members, and before we met back up with him and my comp, he had a feeling to talk to one more person, and they didn't want anything!  But as they were talking to them, a family walked by, and the member (max) really felt like he needed to talk to them.  So after my companions and I went home, max went and talked to this random family he had never seen before, and just keep in mind this guy isn't a missionary anymore. He got talking with them, got to know them and their situation, set up a family home evening with them in his own house, and invited us to go.  They came to the family home evening, we talked about the plan of salvation, they came to church the next day, and the rest is history!  They now have a goal to go to the temple in a year and be sealed as a family!  So their baptisms were for sure the highlight of the week.  I know and have a strong testimony that miracles exist!   

   Something else that is really amazing, Elder Bednar is coming to Saltillo!  Hes coming on Aug 31.  I'm gonna meet an apostle!  I'm super excited, I know I will be able to learn so much from him.  

    To end I wanna share a little scripture, really simple but has a lot of meaning. I know God loves us, and just knowing that, can completely change our lives.  When hard things happen, just keep in mind that God loves you, and he doesn't send any trials into our lives that we cant get through.  I love it when Nephi says, I know God loveth his children, nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things. 1 Nephi 11:17  When things don't make sense, just know that God loves you and that everything happens for a reason!!  God loves us enough to let us learn and grow!  Have a great week!  Love you all!!
