Seek, and ye shall find.

Dear Family,

Thinking back on this week and all that had happened, I began to realize a pattern forming in everything we accomplished.  I thought of the words of the Savior to the people in the Americas from his teachings from his earthly ministry in Jerusalem:

 7 Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (3 Nephi 14)

When we follow the spiritual equation to recive divine blessings from our loving Heavenly father with obedience with exactness the blessings really do come.

Finding Familia Frias One of the sisters that we are teaching gave us a reference of her neighbor- Familia Frias. We visited them right after Catalina had mentioned their name and when knocking on the door, we explained that we were the missionaries, their neighbors. The immediately let us pass into their home and we began to teach. The accepted to hear our message with a very strong, "si, yo quiero escuchar" or yes I want to listen. 

Finding People with a Specific Prayer On Wednesday our mission president asks us to do a special activity of our choice to find 5 new people. My compa and I decided that we wanted to do a prayer aksing for indications of who to find during the day. For example: Someone that already has a Book of Mormon. We listed 6 specific ideas to find people and throughout the day we talked with many people. We found Isabel and her son Luis who willingly accepted that we share our message with them. Turns out, Luis has a Book of Mormon and the missionaries five years ago were teaching him.

Finding the Family Villafuerte we lost contact with them for almost a month, but we got in contact with them and now we can continue teaching them.

Finding Answers and Animo This past Sunday we had Ward Conference. I had been feeling a little confused in these days and I was looking for answers. God hears our prayers and I recieved the answers I needed to keep on going :)

8 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

I invite you to try it out for yourself. Prepare yourself for a revelation-filled General Conference with confidence that God will fulfill his promise to you.
