We have been so blessed to be able
to work with a such a great soul and son of God Don Lorenzo. He can
hardly walk and doenst speak much spanish...mostly Guarani but could feel the
power of the restored gospel in his life. Just this Saturday he was
baptized and in spite of his disability, with the help of an elder and the
president of the branch, he was baptized and confirmed as a member of the
branch. We tried to sing a song to bring the spirit...I sang alto but we
were so nervous and stressed that our voices were super shaky...and i am pretty
sure i hit some bad notes. But Lorenzo sure felt the spirit and love for
the gospel because on Sunday he wanted to beat his small testimony in Guarani.
I was utterly shocked as her hobbled slowly up to the pulpit to tell the
everyone that he felt good in the church and that he knows that Christ lives.
Our other
investigator Mariela is progressing so much and realizing the changes in her
life that she is making. I have seen her testimony grow and I am so impressed
by her amazing example. I can honestly say that she was chosen of God for
this time. She even fasted to be able to quit smoking this Sunday.
We werent able to
work as much as we wanted this week because we were preparing for the baptism,
some of my sisters had some emotional problems and then my companions mom had
an operation to get rid of her breast cancer so she had permission to
call her famiy. So if you get a chance, Luckily, she is recovering fast
we just hope that they dont find anymore or she will have to go on
chemotherapy. Please keep her in your prayers.
Last of all, there
were changes...but dont worry...I am staying in Pilar. My companion is
going to Argentina and leaves tomorrow! I thought I would be the one
leaving but the Lord needs me here. I am fine with it because I can make
sure that Lorenzo has an easy transition and that Mariela gets baptized but I
am sad to see my companion leave because we got along really well.
Well I love you
all,
Until next week,
Hermana Gunter
