Week 64 - Bonaire

This week was really good and we had lots of great experiences. One of the highlights for sure was during a lesson with Nurys. We went, planning on teaching the Atonement, when she started talking about her need to change. She see's her own faults and she feels that her biggest problem is that she just doesn't have enough love for others. She told us she used to be a very different and very angry person who would always act up. She said she had gotten into lots of fights. Her ex husband doesn't even trust her enough to go into her home when he comes by to pick up his daughter! She was explaining to us that she has changed so much because of the gospel, but that she still has more changing to do. She was expressing to us about how she has just been praying and praying to be filled with the love that God has for others so that she won't act up and won't get mad at others. We felt impressed to share Moroni 7:47-48 and wow. She just immediately started to bawl and was just so overcome by the spirit. She told us that she didn't know that that was in there and that she had never read it before. It was an amazing and very spiritually powerful experience. I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon. It is seriously such a powerful tool! We just need to be converted to it and worthy of the spirit in order to help these people find the answers to their souls and find that comfort that they have been looking for all their lives!

I love you and miss you all so much! Have a wonderful week!
