Hola de la Hermana Williams

Holas :)

For those wondering, the investigator we had found, Sol, does not yet have her baptismal date. We have not been able to see her since but she was a miracle so I know that the Lord has His plan in store for her, even if now isn't the time. And its the same with the man we found last week, we haven't been able to find him but we are hoping to be able to teach him this week! His name is Rodrigo.
  
Last week I think I also didn't have time to write that we had got word that there was a person that wanted to come back to church! Her name is Daniella and we visited her house. She is amazing! And I think she really has a true desire to come back to church and turn her life around. She wasn't able to come to church yesterday because she is taking care of someone in the hospital who is really sick, but we are planning on really helping her to come back and use the atonement of Christ in her life so she can find her happiness again:) 
  
Rocío has a baptismal date! She is set for the 14th of June but there is a problem... we received news that Tandil is going to form a Stake with a nearby city called Olavarría!! wooo. And so we are traveling there on the 14th as a Branch to have a meeting together with those members:) So she won't be able to get baptized that day and we want to change it to the 21st. Pray for her that she makes it! 
  
Gabriella is a super miracle too... this week she acepted to keep the Word of Wisdom and all we said was "remember when you went to Church the first week and we talked about the 'law of health'? Well we believe that we shouldn't put these things into our body and that there are multiple multiple blessings and joys we get from keeping this commandment of God" And she just said "OK, out with those things!" (I don't know if that makes sense) But she agreed in the span of 5 minutes to try her best to keep that commandment! So we are going to follow up with her every day to make sure that she knows that she can have strength in the Lord and really we can do all things with His help and if we have FAITH that we can.
  
We also had a person to visit that the elders gave us because she spoke English and said they could come back another day. And she is a girl, so they thought we would be best for her. Her name is Sofía and, man, this experience was AWESOME. She spoke perfect English because she had lived in Kentucky for 8 years and we taught in English! The thing is that she agreed with everything that we said... We promised many blessings to her family if they stayed close to God and that her kids could have happy lives, that they could be an eternal family and many things but her husband won't let us return out of fear of the world. He doesn't let people they don't know into the house for safety. She only let us in because he was gone :( She is a really really great person and it was so wonderful to talk to her and plant a seed in her heart. We gave her a pamphlet of the Restoration and a Book of Mormon and just testified our socks off!! I felt the Spirit so strong and I know that she will come to the Gospel one day when it's in the Lords time:):)

I will leave with my testimony that this church, this work, is truly the Lord's work. That only through Christ we can be saved and have eternal happiness. I love the scripture in 2 Nephi 31:21 that says that this is the ONLY way. It is the only way to follow in the footsteps of Christ because this is His Gospel. And WE are in charge of teaching it to others, God's imperfect children. But that because we are imperfect, we are the perfect ones to help others on the path because we have repented and followed Him with our own will. And we have a sure faith, have built on a sure foundation, and know personally of the blessings that we receive when we obey. God promises these blessings and we are a witness of Him keeping His word!
  
Promise these blessings to your friends, family, and everyone you meet whether they are members or not and you will see the miracles that result. Your testimony will grow and so will theirs. Everyone on the earth is either needing a seed planted or are trying to personally nourish theirs and YOU are one that can help them. Testify to all!

Amo a todos!
