Buenas dias todos!!

Disculpe que por los dos semanas pasadas que no pude escribir, fuimos al templo y nuestro pday cambio de lunes a jueves. Pero todo normal ahora. Espero que no me extrañaban tanto jaja

We got to go to the temple last Thursday!!!  It was so awesome. It was definitely about time that we got to go back there, the last time I went I was with Elder Baque in my first area Los Robles! The spirit you can feel in the temple is definitely a feeling you can't get anywhere else. Es un lugar ùnico. I really love going to the temple, and I definitely look forward to going there often once I return home. Take advantage of the blessings you have! If there is a temple close by, go there and do some temple worship!!  There is not a better place to be. We can receive direction, comfort, and just enjoy being in the Lord's home.

We also had stake conference this last week, and it was powerful. The stake president and mission presidente focused a lot on the home. That everything needs to be founded in the home. That kids must grow with the knowledge of the commandments of God, that the first time they hear about the Law of Chastity or Word of Wisdom should come from their own home so when the temptations come, they already know whats up.

We also had a miracle this past two weeks. We found Diego, who is 20 years old. He has epilepsy, where he can pass out or have a seizure at any random point. He was super sad because he said he has done all he could to get rid of his disease, but came to the point that the only person that can heal him is God. When we went to teach him, the spirit was just so strong. I was extremely impacted by his faith, that if he turns to God that God can heal him. I decided that when we started teaching him, that we needed to teach the Plan of Salvation. When I got to the part about the resurrection, the spirit was extremely strong and I couldn't control my tears. I shared the story of Grandpa McGreer, how my whole life when I knew him, he was always in a wheelchair, but had a lively spirit. He always wanted to go on adventures, play in the park, play fetch with his dog Magic, but was restrained by his disease. I shared my simple testimony about the resurrection, that someday all our bodies will be restored into its perfect form without blemish, and that there won't be a single hair on our head that would be forgotten. I felt a great appreciation for the Plan of Salvation, and I felt like Grandpa was there with me helping me say the words Diego needed to hear to have comfort that everything will be okay with his disease. I felt my body get warm and as if a hand was resting on my shoulder comforting me. Diego will be baptized this Saturday. I invited him to be baptized after the second visit, and he put all his faith in the things we have taught him. I don't think I can ever forget that experience where I felt so much love for my own family, for another person, and that someone like me could be the instrument to bring another soul unto Christ. Diego is also known on the street, and was inviting all his friends and buddies to listen to us to get them to come unto Christ as well. He is being a better missionary than us. That also reminded me of Grandpa because every time we went to his house there was always someone random there that I didn't know before haha

I love you guys. I hope everything is going well and are enjoying life to the fullest!

Love,
Elder McGreer
