137, 138, 139

Every day before entering into my personal studies, I listen to two or three hymns to get me into spiritual mode, it has proven to be extremely genial. 

Matthew 26:30 "And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives."

Respect. I share this hecho because I listened to hymns 136, 137, and 138 this week and they are fire. 



Give them a listen (those are the hymn numbers in the Spanish hymn book, probably different in ingles)
Genesis was baptized and confirmed yesterday after church, it was a furious 45 minutes in between the end of the church meeting (we taught the 2nd-hour class Principles of the Gospel) and then printing out the agenda, taking pics, setting up, announcing baptism, lo demas all in 45 minutes but it worked out fabulously and she got baptized por fin. Her mom and older sisters have been members for many years but were inactive in the past. It is so awesome to see the good changes (repentance) that have come about in their family, especially with Genesis´ older sister. The gospel is for families!



We hit up this Dominicana place called Santa Brasa, oh my goodness. It was so good that we are gonna run it back today. 

A member of the church brought her friend to church a month ago and her friend Yumu (she's not Japanese sadly, just a codename) has now come to church 4 times in a row with her! Incredible. Yumu told us that she was going to go to a catholic church a few days ago but when she walked into the doors she was like nah, and didn't feel any desire to be in there, which is crazy because she's been catholic her entire life. And in contrast, this Sunday morning at 7am she woke up with a massive desire to go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and so she did! So what happened? Lots of other churches are good places, but the spirit testified to her the truthfulness of the gospel that is found in the Church of Jesus Christ and changed her heart.

Mosiah 5:2 
"And they all cried with one voice, saying: Yea, we believe all the words which thou hast spoken unto us; and also, we know of their surety and truth, because of the Spirit of the Lord Omnipotent, which has wrought a mighty change in us, or in our hearts, that we have no more disposition to do evil, but to do good continually."

From both examples, Genesis´ older sister and Yumu, I know that the Holy Spirit can change our hearts allowing us to align our will with that of God's. hasta la próxima

Love, Elder Ditto
