March 17th

Like I said, last week was difficult, but it ended on a good note because I saw that the Lord was preparing us to receive many blessings as we strove through our difficulties and obstacles. At the end of last week, at random I found a scripture in Ezekiel 34:26 about how the rain will come in its own time and how that rain will be blessings. This week, we traveled to Angol and Temuco for zone conferences. They went really well and we were able to learn a lot and were able to work with a lot of missionaries and have great experiences with them. We got back to Los Ángeles on Saturday. We went to visit some of the people we are teaching in our sector. Yesterday, on Sunday, 4 of the people we are teaching came to church and they loved it. We went to go teach Elizabeth and her daughter Valentina, who went to church, and they told us about the peace they felt having gone to church. After we taught them, in her prayer, Elizabeth thanked God for leading her to His church and prayed for the strength necessary to continue strong. She and her daughter have a baptismal date for the 11th of April. The Lord blesses us as we strive to do our best, especially when it is difficult. He may not rain down miracles upon us immediately, but He will make it happen in His own due time. I know that is true, because I have experienced it time and time again. With the rain comes blessings. I´ll also mention that it rained on Friday for the first time in months. Have a wonderful week, everyone!
