Another week in the life

El Toro

 

Hola a todos!

This will be a shorter email this week as I am quite low on time. And speaking of time like where does it go??? This week went by so fast!! I can't even believe that we are already at the start of another week!

But anyways, we had a really great week. We had so many visits, and met with lots of people. And something I wanted to share with y'all is that I know that keeping the commandments brings us blessings.

We are teaching someone who is really awesome. She loves reading the Book of Mormon, prays several times every day, and often attends our virtual meetings when her tricky job schedule permits her to do so. This week we taught her about the Word of Wisdom, which is usually tough for some people to follow, including our amigo. She is from Colombia, where coffee is like it is in the States, a very popular way to start the morning. And we explained that the word of wisdom includes drugs and tobacco, and she had no problem accepting it. Science has shown that avoiding these substances proves for a happier and healthier body. However science does not say too much with coffee. So what's bad about it? And bueno, there may be a few small things, but we don't really know. But it gives us the opportunity to trust in the Lord and say, well I don't know why the Lord has given this commandment, but I am willing to follow it, and will give my all to do so. And as we do so, and rely on the Lord for help, he will not only help us keep the commandments, but also bless us openly for doing so. I have a very strong testimony of this, and the Lord helps us to keep his commandments so that we can be happy.

Until next week! Here are some fotos of one of the prettiest places on this planet!
