Las Palabras de Cristo

 Alright, hope everyones doing super good. Ive been cooking, so this id gonna be a short one.

We've been teaching and doing a good bit of service this week. 

But heres a quick experience I'd like to share that highlighted my week:

We found recently a friend who had known the the misioneros about 50 years ago. And he liked to talk with them like he does with us, but never really was very interested. He has got his ways and is good with them. But we went one time and gave him the Book of Mormon to read and invited him to pray about it. He did one of those things, but sadly not the other. We found that out just the other day when we went, and he had his doubts about the book. We sat as he shared why he thought it was a scam of some sort because he never heard that Jesus visited the Americas. We tried a few times to explain the promise of the Book, and how we can come to know of its truth by praying and asking of God. It didn't work out very well. He is very respectful, but also liles his way of talking, and likes to analize my companion and I like we're on criminal minds. It was very interesting. But I understood him, and I felt the love of the savior for him. My companion was trying to get a word in to express his testimony and the importance of this, but we were stuck. So I got the impression to just ask him if I could take 2 minutes to share my testimony. Intrigued he said, sure. I had opened up to 2Nefi33 (pure fire). And I briefly read and sumurized, the first two vereses about the spirit and its role. He had questioned my companions desire to share these things and why he wanted him to keep the book, and I explained to him why. Because he knows, because he followed the invitacion, that I did too, and didn't explaim this but my campion is a member because his grandma found the Book one day in her house, followed the invitacion, knew it was true, and from her the Church started and grew in the south of Chile when the first missionaries arrived later that year. And then, I read 2N33:10, and dang, feeling the spirit so strong and unexpected tears in my eyes for this child of God I testified that these are 'las palabras de Cristo' 'the words of Christ.' I don't know if he will gain a testimony of these things, but I know they are true. I know that because I have followed them and they have blessed my life, and I followed that invitacion to read and to pray, with real intent. He excepted the book, and invited us to write and names. I wrote a note, for that one person who will find this book one day. 'The most powerful book in the world', said my companion, 'because the Lord can put it in the hands of someone who is needing it.'

God lives, He is our loving Heavnely Father. And He is a God of Miracles, yesterday, today, and always. He has a way to help us find the way, because like the loving Father he is, he wants us to find this path of happiness. The Book of Mormon is true, and contains the words of Christ. And as we read and pray, we will come to find the truth of them and come to know Him more. And as we apply them, we will find miracles, blessing, and changes for the better in our lives.
