Los Sabios de Corazón

Bom dia. Well, it´s been a busy week. We had quite a few appointments, and in between those we talked with as many people as we could. All in all, it was fantastic, we saw many blessings from it. Also, I´ll state once more that it´s still warming up here... but ya, it´s just that time of year. 

A fun scripture that I was reading the other week is found in Psalms 137:9- "Happy Shall he be, that taketh and dasheth the little ones against the stones" :) Thought you might appreciate that, if not... oh well. Another scripture from the following book states that "the wise of heart will receive commandments..." This just made me think quite a bit on the people that we look for as missionaries. We always invite people to repentence, and only the wise of heart will receive this call. I just want to invite you to be wise of heart, and receive the commandments willingly and joyfully, because that´s what it´s all about. There´s one lady that we´re teaching right now named Gladys. We talked with her last week in the street, and we came back the next day and taught her the first lesson. She received everything (Including the commitments) really well, and arrived to the church building yesterday. 

I just also wanted to mention the importance of the gift of the Holy Ghost. One of our investigators named Sofia really wants to get baptized. She always comes to church, she helps out, and she has a very strong testimony. She only lacks permission from her mother to get baptized. She was commenting to us yesterday that she really wants her mother to start coming to church with her because she wants her to be ok with her baptism. She explained that she felt a bit bad, because she lacked the gift of the Holy Ghost (That only comes through the confirmation after baptism).  She really understands the importance and significance of this gift, do we? I pray that we do, and that if you´re already a member of the church, that you use that gift and be worthy of it constantly, and if you´re not, that you can seek it. 

Well, the work goes on, and it will continue on. 

Love you all,

Elder Holtry
