goodness {September 15th}

My dearest family and friends,
  
 This week was also filled with rainy days. dont worry. i was singing in the rain. we´re still searching for people who want to change their lives. i got the chance to go the the temple with my ward. that was something special. like the song, "i love to see the temple" i really do!! i needed to feel some peace. Manuel, Maru(inactive member) came with us.
 
I have an interesting experience to share with you all. i had the wonderful opportunity to go to a baptism of one of my past investigators in Morón, his name is Martin. He is married to hermana Escobar who is a member of the church. when i was in morón we tried our best to invite martin to come to church and we did invite him to be baptized on certain dates. but he always accepted the dates and then would get scared. A crisis happened in there dear family brian his nephew had a horrible accident and within a month he died. this is a story that i hold dear to my heart and thats why i´ve never told you all. brian was an inactive member and we were trying to get him back to church. when he was in the hospital Hna olson and i had the privlege to go visit him. i have never seen someone so happy in my life. he told me that he wanted to go on a mission once he got out of the hospital. Brian was hooked up to a breathing machine and he couldnt move anything from his shoulders down to his toes. but he was the happiest in the room and glowing. we sang his favorite hymns and shared a thought from a talk of being grateful and left him with a prayer. short after this visit, Brian, a 20yr old boy, passed away. this family was such a huge example to me. they prayed and prayed and never stopped coming to church. 

A couple of months later, Martin, changed completely and was baptized. Hna Escobar talked about how i taught martin and brian and that we know that Brian is now a missionary and is teaching in the spirit world. i know that our dear lord has a perfect plan and works in His time. i will never foget this moment. never, and i am forever grateful.

Another experience, picture this my comp and i were heading back home from the baptism on the bus. there was the window the boy, my comp, and me... and all of the sudden the glass shattered across our bodies. not one of us was touched or harmed. the Lord does protect us. i know it.

love youu allll!!!!
