Elder HJones: Live the Gospel

This week was definitely one to remember.

Amanda, Ayleen, Jasmin, and Valentina

This week I had two conferences with President Ferreira. One conference was in Antofagasta. I had to travel 8 hours in a bus to get there! The other conference was in Copiapo, really close where I am serving. I learned a lot! One thing that I really liked was something that our mission president said, "Cuando vivimos el Evangelio, empezamos a entender y sentir mas." This is true. When we live the gospel, when we keep the commandments, we will understand more and feel closer to our Heavenly Father. I have seen it this past week. When people start to change and live the gospel, they are happier. Because this gospel brings happiness!

So here's a funny Story: On Saturday my companion and I were picking up baptismal clothes for our baptisms. We met the person bringing the clothing in front of a casino... a really expensive casino! And we were about to leave and President Ferreira pulls up in his car with his wife and daughter.and he invited us to eat lunch with him! And we ate at a really expensive nice place. It was way good!

This week we had four baptisms. God has blessed us a lot. They are all daughters of less active members. Their families have experienced a lot of difficulties both inside and outside of the church. But now they are coming to church. We are helping them to become eternal families!

Hasta Luego,
