Hermana Warburton: Sol, Caminando, y Investigadores

Hola!! buenas tardes! :)

Ecuador.. the land of lots and lots of sun!! haha this week there was a ton of sun, and as usual.. we walked A LOT!! but it was such a good week!! we were able to visit many investigatores, less actives, and converts, and it was amazing to see the progression of all of them!

we are teaching an investigator named Victor, and yesterday was his second time visiting the Church!! he is doing great, and is looking to find the truth in his life. we taught him about the restoration, and the importance of the Book of Mormon, and how the Book of Mormon can help him receive his answer. He read and prayed and is waiting for his answer!

Also we are teaching another investigator Carlos, and we have been trying to have him read the Book of Mormon... and after weeks of reading nothing, we taught him this past week and he told us he read 14 chapters!!! wow!! i was so surprised!! and he remembered and understood what he read!! :) wow! again i am amazed at the power of the Book of Mormon. i know its true. ive seen this book change the lives of people. it has helped so many peoples lives, as it has helped mine!

on friday we had a small intercambio and i worked in my sector with one of the hermana liders, hermana guaman. it went pretty well. it was only for the night, but we were able to have a couple of good lessons and i learned a lot from her. i was reminded of the importance of asking inspired questions! :)

on Sunday when we went to lunch, the cute family we ate with remembered that it is my birthday friday, and when we walked in there was a chocolate birthdaycake on the table!! they sang happy birthday and were so sweet the whole meal!! :) it made me so happy i almost cried!! :) there are amazing ward members here, who do so much to help the ward and the missionaries! i love this ward a lot and i am so grateful to be working here with my companion!!!

i know this Church is true. I know that through Christ we can be cleansed from our sins. we can feel the peace and comfort in our lives that we are all looking for. i know that through Christ we can be healed spriritually. El ser limpios del pecado es ser sanados espiritualmente. thanks to the Atonment of Christ, there is hope. there is hope on the darkest of days. when we have Christ as the center of our lives, we have a life full of light and hope. what a great opportunity i have each day to see this great Atonment work in the lives of the people here! :) have a great week!!!!!!! :)

con mucho amor,

Hermana Warburton
