New Beginnings for Buena Ventura

Helloooo!!!!!!! 

Wow. There is just so many good things to talk about this week. First off, Buena Ventura (my current area) upgraded this week! Buena Ventura is a branch that has a good 200+ people attending. Super huge. But this week WE BECAME A WARD!!!! I'm honestly so excited. The members are too. We have known something big was coming for a few weeks but didn't know what. The missionaries before me did some amazing things to help Buena Ventura become strong enough to make this step. 

We had some really incredible lessons this week! I'm not really sure what was in my cereal every morning, but I was pretty bold with people this week. I'm just kinda over putting up with people's laziness and excuses so I just straight up taught Repentance this week. To be honest, I regret nothing. It was actually pretty exhilarating to be so bold. I think I'm going to keep it up. 

Sunday after church we stopped by Armando. He is an investigator we met a few weeks ago. He seemed so sad and lost. Defiantly prepared. But then he became difficult to contact. So Sunday we'd had enough and just decided to stop by. He opened the door and we talked to him about how Important our message is and that he needs to hear it. He told us how he wasn't happy. And I told him that we could help him. I told him to give our message a try for 4 weeks. To do everything we tell him, and if by 4 weeks he doesn't feel any happier then we will go on our way and never bother him again. I have the faith that this is true. I KNOW this gospel blesses our lives and makes us happier than we could be any other way. I issue the same challenge to all of you. If there is some part of your life where you feel sadness, I ask, actually, I Implore you to do the little things. Read, pray, and go to church. Do it sincerely and I promise that you will find joy.  

I love this work with my whole heart. I know it is true. God lives. Jesus is the Christ. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and a HUGE blessing from God.
