Week 19 - Still Raining, Testimonies, Seek God

Hey everyone.  It´s good to be here on another rainy day emailing all of you!  Not so much exciting news, but I will share with you what I can.

So this last week I got my new companion.  He is from Spanish Fork.  He is a nice guy, but sometimes it seems like I can drag him around a little bit.  He doesn´t fight anything I do or say.  So in a way, he is a little too nice.  But everything is good.  My last companion got really trunky even though he was a great missionary.

Also, Elder Harmon´s family came to pick him up and he was able to come back to visit Puerto.  It was cool to see him again with his family.  They also invited us to lunch which was nice of them.  Everyone here loves Elder Harmon.  Maybe a little too much, and this is why we have changes in the mission, so people don´t get so attatched.

He came to church with his family on Sunday, and it happened to be testimony meeting.  I wasn´t really able to feel the spirit all that well because all of the testimonies were thanking Elder Harmon and saying they were going to miss him.  Although his dad gave an awesome testimony.  I was able to feel the spirit when he was speaking.  Elder Harmon is a great guy, but a testimony shouldn´t be a public way to thank someone.  A testimony is what you know about the gospel.

This week I´ve been reading in 3 Nephi which is awesome.  Christ came to the Americas and he called his disciples.  After he called them, he told them to go forward and not worry about what they should eat or wear or anything like that.  In 3 Nephi 13:32-33 it says... 

32 For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

If we first seek the kingdom of God, He will bless us with the things we need.  He knows the things that you need.  He just asks that we first seek the kingdom of God.

Other than that, we have had a few people that have accepted baptism, but they still need a testimony.  Everything is going great here!  Thanks for all the support!  Love you guys!
