Elder Jakob Lutze: Semana 74 (Secret Baptisms??)

Buenas!!

Cambios!! Let's gooooo! So fun to see all my missionary friends at the meet up spot! There I picked up my new comp Elder Clark! He is super awesome and fun! Great singer too! I'm really excited for this transfer!

Crazy thing happened this week. We are teaching a girl named Abby. And we need permission from the father. Well, the family of Abby that are members (the mom's side of the family) freaked out at us. They were trying to convince us that we didn't need the father's permission and that they had already baptized other family members before without the permission. That's right folks, secret baptisms! We were mind blown! In the end, we were finally able to explain why that was wrong, and wow, what a headache.

A dude said one of the funniest phrases I've heard. "NO NO NO, AHORA NO! ESTAMOS EAT!!!"

Elder Clark has been way fun to work with! We both are just really direct, and we have been teaching with a lot of passion! It's so fun, and it's great to have a comp like him!

Big miracle on Sunday! A youth named Diego came to church. I thought nothing of it really. I knew he wasn't a member, but the situation had been complicated with him. Well, at the end of church his aunt came up to us asking if we could do a Noche De Hogar that night.

It turned out that Diego went to PFJ (EFY basically) and had a super spiritual experience that sparked his interest a lot! So we had the Noche De Hogar, and wow!! I don't think I've had such a spiritual lesson before! It was amazing! We talked mostly about receiving and recognizing personal revelation, it was really cool!

Spiritual Thought

1 Nephi 10: 19

"For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost, as well in these times as in times of old, and as well in times of old as in times to come; wherefore, the course of the Lord is one eternal round."

I love this scripture, because God truly is the same yesterday, today, and forever. If not, then He wouldn't be God anymore

But truly the miracles, love, and blessings those in the past received, we can also receive! In fact, God wants to give us all of that! But that means we have to do what the people did anciently. Seek diligently, keep the commandments, and do what we can to have the Holy Ghost. God is the same, we are not. But, if we can do what we are supposed to, then God can always bless us! Think about it!

Thanks for all your prayers! Keep praying for my zone. Pray for Diego! Love you all lots! Until Next week!
