How are you?? Did you have a great week?? I hope so! Well, as for us here in Universidad, things are amazing :) We're working hard and seeing the results little by little. I would love to mention Estefano this week :)
Estefano is a very quiet teenager that we have recently come in contact with. He's the younger brother of a very strong member and is actually very familiar with the Church. He has come many, many times to the Sunday meetings and says that more than anything he loves hearing people share their testimonies. He has received all the lessons from past missionaries, but still feels unsure about if the Church is true or not. However, he has accepted a baptismal date for about a month in the future and has many goals that are centered in helping him gain his very own testimony that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ.
Well, I would love to build my thought off of the experiences that we have had with Estefano. He has learned and understands all of the doctrines of the Church and has no problems with these things. Even though he likes what he has learned, he still doesn't feel that he knows that it is true. This is because gaining a testimony of the Gospel is not an intellectual procedure. Yes, it is necessary that we understand the doctrines, but that is NOT the way we gain a testimony. This comes only through diligent study, prayer, and church attendance, mixed with a good dose of putting the church doctrine in practice. This is how miracles happen. Now, for you all, do you feel that you really know that it is true? If the answer is no, do you want to know? If you really want to know, please follow the invitation found in Moroni 10:3-5 and read, ponder, and pray, putting in practice all that you learn in the transcourse of these events. If you do so, I promise without a doubt in my mind or heart that you will know that this is true. The same has happened with me. It will happen with you :)
I love you all so much! Thank you so much for your support! Have an amazing week!
