Hey everyone! You're gonna get a shorter email this week because I honestly can't remember much of what happened. 😅
This week in terms of our friends what a grind and we continue to see the hand of the Lord, but my favorite miracle occurred on Sunday. Sitting close to the door of the chapel, I saw someone I was not expecting to walk through the door… Gadiel! Gadiel is one of my converts from Jardines from almost a year ago who is just so special to me and such a good friend of mine. He has some family that live in Campanas so he decided to surprise me and visit me at church here.
He proceeded to make his way to the front to share his testimony and conversion story with the congregation. As I watched him tell his story and testify the words “I know that this church is the true church and that God and Jesus Christ live and love me”, my heart was completely filled. As we studied in Doctrine and Covenants this week, our joy truly will be full if we help just one soul come unto Christ. I testify of that truth. As I watched this dear friend share his testimony I almost cried because of how much I know he has changed and how much effort I have put into these months. To see fruits of labors manifest themselves in that way is priceless.
Other things:
---I ate a fried fish but with the bones and spines and eyes and everything. It was super weird but not bad. But lowkey scary that if you just leave it in oil for a whole hour the bones are safe to eat.
---We upgraded the broom in our house into a Nimbus 2000
---We watched this suuuuuper sleepy 2 year old kid absolutely fight demons on the bus and it may have been one of the funniest moments of my life.
One verse that stood out to me this week in my reading was Mosiah 27:31. Every single person we know now will know what we know now. That Christ is the Redeemer and that the only way to enter into his presence is through the saving ordinances performed by proper priesthood authority. It was a good reminder and motivation to talk to everyone I can for my last 3 weeks here in Campanas before going to my last area.
I love this service in all of the good and the bad. There's always a perfect compensation for our efforts that will come when we least expect it.
With so much love,
Élder Snyder
