So Content

This week we taught Gustavo, a menos activo. We invited him to read his Book of Mormon everyday and he kept telling us, "There´s no way hermanas. I´m way too busy. There´s no way I can comprometerme to read the Book of Mormon every day and follow all these commandments." We told him, "Just a verse a day; it is nothing!" But he was convinced that there was no way that he could read a verse a day. So, trying to make a point, I flipped open the Book of Mormon to have him read one verse to see that it would take less than 30 seconds to read a scripture and think about it. He picked a scripture on the page and read, "Those that keep the commandments of God will prosper in the land." Haha! We were laughing way hard. 

Julio got baptized this Saturday :) 

The best part is his sister is a member, menos activa. He had no idea until he invited her to the baptism that she was a member and now she wants to come to church and her kids want to be baptized! We won´t be teaching them but they will come to our branch :) 

I wish I could explain the change in Julio´s life. I wish you could see how happy he is now compared to before! I know the gospel blesses lives!!! I know that when we keep the commandments we are happy! Sometimes it might seem like the commandments are a long list of things we can´t do, but I know that when we keep the commandments, we "prosper in the land."

I´m so grateful for this opportunity I have to be a missionary. There is nothing more rewarding. I wish that everyone could experience this. 

Read your scriptures!!!!!!!!!!!

At least a verse a day. Porfavor.
