Spreading the Word in Ecuador: The Spirit of God like a fire is burning!

So Ive made it over a month!!! Its fantastic!! So I had an amazing experience while teaching with my comp! Yesterday we taught a member who is less active. She said that she isnt reading the BOM and that she wants to know how she can know that she is making the correct choices. So we started off asking what she thought of the BOM and Padre Celestial and Jesucristo. She gave good answers and it made me confused that she was struggling. Anyways my comp was bearing testimony about the BOM and I was thinking of a scripture that I could share with her but nothing was coming to my mind... so I said a quick prayer asking for help and so I was flipping through the BOM real fast and I stop at one page and It was 2 Nefí 32: 3, Its feats upon the words of Christ and He will tell you all the things that you should do. It was like perfect! It was exactly what she needed! Then I started bearing testimony about how the BOM is the words of God and that He wants all of us to return to Him and we can know how to by reading the BOM and the BOM will tell us the correct things we should do. But while i was bearing testimony I felt the spirit so strong that I started crying and I know she felt it too! She then told us that she was the only active member in her family and she has been for a very long time and that it was hard for her. So I was directed to go look in Alma 32: 26-28, it talks about what faith is, that we need to exercise faith and if we make a place in our lives that you will be blessed and that the gospel will become delicious to you. so me and my comp bore testimony about how if she set an example for her family that they would see it and want be like her.The Spirit was so strong during that lesson it was so intense! My Spanish has never been so good and I know that I was able to touch her heart and she felt the spirit. I could literally feel the love that Padre Celestial had for her and that HE wanted her to know these things! I love being a missionary! I love sharing the gospel even though it can be hard expressing myself in spanish. The church is so true!

I know that if you are struggling with anything and pray to Padre Celestial(Heavenly Father) and study the scriptures that you will be given answer, as long as you do it with real intent!

I love you guys!
