How are you all doing?? Well, I hope that you all had a great week and that you all just keep doing great! Well, this week has been rather eventful! We had the great opportunity of going to Potosí for our zone conference! But more on that later :) With investigators this week, I would like to talk about Febe and Vicente. I talked a little bit about Febe this past week, but I just wanted to say that she is amazing. She was able to come to church yesterday and is doing all she can to progress towards her goal for baptism. Just wanted to give a little shoutout :) Vicente is one of my favorite people that I have met here and I have worked with him since I was with Elder Ordoñez. Due to an accident a while ago he struggles to learn and remember new things, but he has been improving little by little ever since I met him and is doing very well :) He looks forward to a baptismal date either this week or the following (he says depending on how he feels) and I just could not be happier with him :) We hope that everything continues to just go amazingly with him :)
Well, now that I've talked a little about some investigators, I would like to talk a bit about the Zone Conference. It was an amazing opportunity to go to Potosí and hear from our Mission President. He just gives us such amazing lessons and inspires us to do better. I also got to see some of my amazing friends that I have met here in Bolivia, which is an added treat :) I loved the conference and just wanted to mention that :)
Well, I would now like to share a small thought with all of you that I found in something called the Ricciardi Letter. Elder Chapman, a great friend here, lent me his copy and I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you are planning on serving a mission. There was one part that talked about D and C section 18 where the worth of souls is talked about. Forgive my abreviation, but here it says that if you bring but one soul unto God, your joy will be great in heaven. The writer of the Ricciardi letter talks about this reference in a way that I just love. He says that the one soul that we truly need to bring unto God is our own. We are the one soul that we should bring. Then, once we have had our own conversion, we should look for others, hence the scriptures first talk about bringing one soul and then many. So, my invitation to all of you is that you think about your own conversion. In the end of all things, especially as a missionary, your first and most important conversion is your own. Do whatever you need to in order to convert yourself so that your joy can be great in the Kingdom of God. I promise that I will do my best to do the same here :)
Well, I hope that you all have an amazing week! I love you all! Next week I will have news about transfers and we will see what happens! But until then, it is my hope that the Spirit of God be with you all!
Elder Wynn
