POWERFUL MOMENTS EN AYACUCHO!
So we had a really really cool lesson today (Dad you better keep this email) so basically we were in a lesson and we ask this old lady if she has any family members or friends we can teach today and she said yah lemme grab my daughter, so she does. And we were doing in the lesson (in quechua by the way because the grandma only speaks Quechua, and so a member came with us to translate) and the daughters tells us how her mom is suffering from schizophrenia and has mental problems and at the end of the lesson the member offered to give a blessing to the old lady so we did, and right before I gave the blessing I had the strongest feeling to promise the craziest thing to the daughter. I said "we explained how your mom's faith will heal hear, but something came to my mind that I wanna promise you, if you read this book (book of mormon) and pray and attend church, I promise you in the name of Jesus Christ your mom will be healed." And this daughter was just in shock, like how can someone promise this to anyone, and she said ok elder I will do these things, and after the lesson the member was like wow she is gonna progress to baptism after that promise. The spirit was soooooo strong and just insane how I can even promise something like that to anyone, that if they read a book that there mom will be healed from a sickness and will be healthy. I know in these stories I cry a lot but its because its so powerful man. Like I teared up while telling her this because it was like God was sitting right next to me telling me to promise these things and it will work out. So now in the next visit we are gonna put her on a baptismal date and watch her progress. I just wanted to end by testifying saying that the mission and its experiences are something irreplaceable and too powerful to miss out on. These 2 years are sacred and I want to make the most of everyday and every second so I can have moments like these and change peoples lives l.
