We are teaching many families that are having problems. For Example, hermana Rosa and her kids. She is struggling a lot with her husband and money. It has been really hard for her. On wednesday we went to visit her and she was struggling more then ever! It was so sad to see! When we got there she was acting different, she told us a little bit latter that she was thinking about asking us to stop teaching her so she could fix all of he problems and then after they were all fix then she would go to church and prepare to be baptized! We had a powerful lesson in wich we taught about the importance of trusting the Lord during our problems! She understood, after the lesson we asked her and her family to kneel and pray with us! She said the prayer and in her pray thanked the Lord sending us, the missionaries, she said that we are angels for her! The power of the holy spirit to change peoples hearts is un-real!
One thing that I learned this week is the importance of being obedient to the commandments. In the mission people are very open and honest with us about their problems. I have seen families being destroyed and hearts being broken and every time it is for disobeience to the commandments! EVERY TIME! Although most for the time we don't realize that the problems that we have are direct results of the disobedience to the commandments, THEY ARE! It is so sad! The Lord tells us in almost every chapter of the book of mormon "if you keep my commandment you will prosper in the Land" and may I add " and in your lives and in you familys and in you work and in you relationships and forever! I know this is true
Love you family! You are the best! Give a hug to Abby for me!
Love ELder Quist
