Thank you for all your prayers and for putting our names in the temple. We sure felt the divine help of the Lord this week! Some crazy miracles happened this week.
First off, on Tuesday it was dia de trabajador or labors day in Bolivia and so the ward went on a ward BBQ, and we got permission to go. We went to a place called bella vista (beautiful view), and it sure was beautiful. The meat was delicious, and it was great to spend time and meet more of the ward members. Also Aidai, Nadia, and Claudia all went and loved it.
The second miracle was that we taught Marilin´s husband twice this week! The Lord heard our prayers and accepted our fast. He is a big man and is super strong. Both him and Marilin love karate! We taught them with Fernando and Carmin and they made friends with them. Marilin sure likes to tease us how I have hair. I told her that I want to be a teacher and she said that I already had the hairstyle of one! Also, Sunday she went to church and during gospel principles we learned about the restauracion. It was a great leccion and she participated a lot and the members were all impressed because she knew so much. She has been reading the Book of Mormon everyday. Yesterday, when we taught her family, her husband said he thought it is important to be baptized like Christ but doesn't want to accept his date. We also explained that for them to get baptized they need to be married. Marilin is so eager to get baptized that she pretty much said, ´´Honey can we just go to the courthouse and they can sign the paper that says we´re married and in a year we can have our boda or wedding reception and invite everyone,” and he replied "Todo se puede" or everything is possible!
Please pray for them. They are both reading and praying to know if the church is true! Also, Marilin´s mom owns an ice cream shop so after every lesson she gives us ice cream. This family is golden!!
The third miracle we had is that Claudia said she had received an answer that the Book of Mormon is true and she accepted the date to be baptized this week. The only problem is that something happened in their family so now her dad doesn't want her to leave the house for anything. Please pray for her too and that she can have the desire to be baptized!
The fourth miracles is that we ate lunch with Carmin and Fernando. They asked us how we were doing and learned that we wash our clothes by hand and now are going to let us use their washing machine!
The fifth miracle: The hot water in our house got fixed. It felt so good to take a warm shower after two months!
I know that God is our Heavenly Father and loves and looks after us! Also, I know the Book of Mormon is true. If you need extra spiritual and physical strength, guidance, or comfort then read the Book of Mormon. It is the word of God. Through the word of God, Christ created the earth and healed many. We have his word in the Bible and in the Book of Mormon and as we prayerfully read them we will be uplifted and blessed!
I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Elder Matheson
