We had the opportunity to hear from our prophet president Russell M. Nelson two times this week!! The first was a broadcast from Lima, Peru where he spoke to the missionaries. The second time was a transmission from La Paz for the members in Bolivia.
He spoke of the teaching of Jesus Christ in 3 Nephi and our responsibilities to learn the gospel and to share it. He reminded us to do as Jesus Christ did while He was on the earth: He taught to baptize, to teach doctrine, and that there be no disputations among the people. On Sunday, President Nelson spoke to all the members in Bolivia and talked in SPANISH!! He taught of the responsibility to learn the gospel in our families, and the responsibility of parents to teach their children!!
I had my testimony strengthened of the divinity and power of the prophet of God. As we listen to the words of the prophet, and apply his counsel in our lives to go to the temple, and to learn in our families, we can receive marvelous blessings!!
We had a baptism this week and it was an amazing experience. The first for me and Elder Reyes!! I got to baptize our investigator!! It was the coolest and most humbling experience in the world to be able to baptize in Spanish, and then my companion confirmed our friend in sacrament meeting.
Pray that the people will continue to open their hearts to receive this message, the message of eternal joy and happiness!!
haha Forgot to mention another thing. So Friday night at like 8:30 were walking to another appointment and we get a call for me to speak in church that Sunday. So I had Saturday to prepare a 10 minute talk in Spanish on "Enduring to the End" in our little time to study because we had the conference with President Nelson! haha. But it went well and the gift of tongues is real!!
Love you all,
Elder Jones
