This week was absolutely incredible!! So
many of our friends are learning about their Savior and about how they
can come closer to Him!!
We had SO many
conferences this week!! Spiritual feast tras spiritual feast!! It was
absolutely incredible!! Such a privilege!! We heard from Élder Allen,
director of the Missionary Dept, and Élder Dyches, from the Europe Area
Presidency.
They taught us many things, and the
topics that stuck out to me most were about conversion, mentality,
applying Preach My Gospel fully, and a quote from Élder Bednar: "If you
always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always
got." We can always rethink, retool, and reboot our way of doing things,
and we can always become more effective!!!
As a
side-note, we learned that our mission has been selected for the 2nd
Round of iPad testing. I don't know when we'll get them, but I'm
grateful for the perspective that they shared with us this week. The
Lord is reaching out to our generation, and is trying to teach us how to
use technology effectively. Safeguards for the digital age of
missionary work are: Learning to tune in to the Spirit, Focusing on our
Missionary Purpose, Being disciplined, and Being One. What a miraculous
time!!
But what's most important, my companion
is such a great example, our missionaries are happy, and we are seeing
so many miracles with our friends!!! Andrés and Marina are so happy to
have the gift of the Holy Ghost in their lives!! They have felt so much
happier since having been baptized!!!!! Angelo is excited for his
baptism this Saturday;
Nelson really felt the Spirit yesterday at our Stake Conference (he
even got to speak with President Pace), and we're inviting him to be
baptized later today; and Santos, Irma, and Estefanía are also committed
to trying out the promise of the Book of Mormon for themselves, and so
they will know for themselves before their goal to be baptized this
month as well!!!!!!!!
I have been praying for
my friends all the time; they are always on my mind, and we're always
learning how to help them. I have felt that they are all ready to take
their first steps of discipleship this month. I pray that they will
continue to feel the Spirit, and that they will feel of the truthfulness
of the Book of Mormon for themselves. Angelo already has, along with
Nelson, Santos, and Estefanía; we are just working to help them discover
for themselves what the Lord is guiding them to do!! I know that
Heavenly Father answers prayers, and that miracles happen here in the
Lord's work!!
I know that Heavenly Father loves
us, and that He loves you, too. I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior,
and that we can repent. I know that covenants have real power. I know
that the fulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and His priesthood
authority were restored through Joseph Smith. I know that the Book of
Mormon is true, and that Heavenly Father will share the knowledge of
these things with you, too, if you sincerely seek for yourself.
May Heavenly Father bless you in all aspects of your life!!
I love you so much!!
Élder Zubeldia
