Week 92: Ya Viene Primavera Ya Porfa

So it snowed again. Here i was thinking spring was here 

Our friends Liliana and Alex came to church this sunday! It was so cool cause this was their 2nd time and they already know everyone in the ward. #RioVistaontop

The members here are so good, we bring someone new to church and they basically grab them and force them to sit next to them (in the nicest latino way possible)

Then a member of the bishopric brought his inactive sister and his non member husband named Bryan (doesn't speak spanish but we still gonna teach him) we've got an appointment with him next Tuesday! Hurray

Other than that very normal week. A lot of rejection but a lot of good lessons. 

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT

I've had some great personal studies lately. Most recently about faith in Jesus Christ. I think it's the least complicated principle that we teach people, (or learn about in the church) yet the most difficult to put into practice. Now, twoscriptures/quotes you've probably heard before:

Alma 32:28

Now, we will compare the word unto a seed. Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves—It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me.

And then my good friend President Nelson:

Third, act in faith. What would you do if you had more faith? Think about it. Write about it. Then receive more faith by doing something that requires more faith.

The "experiment" that Alma talks about is exactly what President Nelson is saying here. If we want to be more faithful, we need to step into the dark and do what we would do if we had faith. What will you do?
