TRUNK
Quick Week this week. I thought we were gonna put 2 fechas but it isn't their time yet ig. We have started teaching all of Chonitas Fam and they are awesome. However, they are scared to get baptized because in the Bible it says there is only 1 baptism. We explained that this is true and we only believe in 1 baptism but it needs to be with the priesthood or else it doesn't count. The hard part for the dad is that he says during his baptism when he got lifted out of the water he saw a ray of light from heaven. I wanted to say “Yes, the sun does exist.” So many of these Guaties say they have visions and have seen heaven, it's nuts. Even members say they have seen into the future. Either it's cap or they are super consecrated and receive crazy revelation lol
My comp has gotten a lot better though. We are getting along a lot better now and it's super fun to be with him now. We've been doing soccer activities on Saturdays and it’s been lit. He balls out because he played professional soccer in Mexico. And I just ball out playing goalie - lol. The dudes here get super mad superrr quick, it’s so funny. I got a punch to the chest on Saturday because I did something that some guy didn't like very much (that guy was the 2nd counselor in the bishopric).
Been gettin super trunk though ngl. Not dead, we still working all hours ofc, but I sent home my trainer. Elder Marín was basically my comp last transfer who served in the other area of Santiago and went home last transfer. My comp finishes in 2 weeks. And then Elder Richardson who took Elder Marín’s place goes home next transfer. Then all the homies in the mish go home next transfer too or the next. The mission is changing like crazy and we will receive 70 new missionaries this summer and I realized wow I have so much time left still. But, we good, just means more time to grow.
Been studying a lot about mental strength and how to resist temptations from the adversary. It's been super sick and I have learned a lot. Remember that we have bodies and Satan doesn't and because we have bodies we are stronger than him in every way. Satan knows our weaknesses and loves to attack them. So focus on making your weaknesses strengths and then Satan won't have any power over you

Scripture of the Week:
D&C 93:29-32 “29 Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be. 30 All truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also; otherwise there is no existence. 31 Behold, here is the agency of man, and here is the condemnation of man; because that which was from the beginning is plainly manifest unto them, and they receive not the light. 32 And every man whose spirit receiveth not the light is under condemnation.”
DyC 93:29-32 “29 También el hombre fue en el principio con Dios. La inteligencia, o sea, la luz de verdad, no fue creada ni hecha, ni tampoco lo puede ser. 30 Toda verdad es independiente para obrar por sí misma en aquella esfera en que Dios la ha colocado, así como toda inteligencia; de otra manera, no hay existencia. 31 He aquí, esto constituye el albedrío del hombre y la condenación del hombre; porque claramente les es manifestado lo que existió desde el principio, y no reciben la luz. 32 Y todo hombre cuyo espíritu no recibe la luz está bajo condenación”
