¡Hola familia y amigos!
This week has been one of much thinking and learning (let´s hope). I´ve been learning about the Atonement of Christ and I think this time it´s more through experience than straight book-learning. I start to realize how much I need Him. I often forget Him, often don´t work the way He deserves, but I know He loves me. I like the quote from the Scriptures when he calls Peter and Andrew to leave the life they were used to behind and follow Him. But he didn't stop at "come and follow me", He added the promise, "and I will make you fishers of men". It´s only through Christ that we really become better people, better missionaries. Christ and Christ alone can reach in the deepest recesses of our human, imperfect hearts and make changes. It reminds me also of Moroni 10:32-33, which says "Come and perfect yourselves in Christ", or something to that effect in inglés.
Edson, our Peruvian investigator, came to church for the third time. He accepted as well the Word of Wisdom, though we forgot to follow up to see if he´s living it. We´ll make better plans to help him avoid temptation this week, and if he does well and reads the LDM, I think he´ll be baptized in April.
We also are teaching an evangelico investigator in the city proper of Aldo Bonzi, se llama Hugo. He´s reading well but we´re unsure of his actual testimony. However he has great desires to bautizarse so, if we help him, he´ll make it as well.
Thank you alls for the birthday loves and wishes. They were wonderful and very meaningful to me. Will you please send me the email of the Foutz so that I can thank them for bringing me the package?
Con amor,
Elder Blake
