Dear family and friends,
This week was awesome and we really got Maicol to open up more to us. He was hiding back on how he felt about smoking and he opened up to us about how he felt. He asked if when he got baptized if he'd have to stop forever. We told him yes and he said "It's impossible." Then Hermano Riveros talked to him about how he could do it through the love of our Savior's atonement. He started tearing up and said 'but what if I do it again? I wont be able to repent?' With tears in his eyes and in mine (we were all crying a little at some point) I told him myself that no matter how many times he would fall short or fall back into transgression, he would ALWAYS be able to repent. The Savior didn't pay for a part of our debts, he paid in full and only asks us that we try our personal best to come unto him and be perfected in him through the atonement. Once again my testimony of that was strengthened.
Also Maicol's grandpa had a stroke this last week and he's pretty close to passing. My companion bore a powerful testimony that he'd be able to see not just his grandpa if he passes but all of his family. We told him that the Lord had a plan for all of his children and that it didn't matter what would happen.
Anyway that was something that happened this week with all the other things haha but much love to everyone. I hope you all have an amazing week!!
