Barcelona week 15 - Hermana Nuria´s testimony

Dear familia

Thanks for all the news about the church mom. It´s so incredible being able to be part of the church in the last days and help prepare the way of the Lord. People really are starting to recognize us more and are having more desires to listen and to learn. We see so many miracles every day in the mission.
Fast sunday yesterday was perfect for our investigators. Nohemy showed up with her 3 year old son, Joel, right when sacrament meeting was starting and loved the sharing of testimonies of the members. There´s an hermana in the ward, Nuria, who´s the wife of the 1st counselor in the bishopric and is about 50 years old and has cancer. No one knows how much longer she´s going to live but she´s one of the most faithful members there are. Despite her condition and going through kimo therapy, she still does her best to get to church every sunday. She got up yesterday with her husband at her side and bore her testimony about the truthfulness of the gospel. It was POWERFUL. I looked over at Nohemy and she was crying! Everyone in the chapel felt the Spirit and many other members got up to bear their testimonies after her. It was perfect for Nohemy. She´s been preparing to be baptized for this weekend but because of her work schedule and our schedule we haven´t been able to teach her everything. So we have another visit with her today and we´re going to try and push it for next week. The power of members testimonies is a lot more personal for investigators than our testimonies as missionaries, because they see the members as real people who are experiencing the gospel in their lives and have true testimonies of it. We also visited Victor, our other investigator, after sacrament and he shared with us that he felt the Spirit so strong and received a sure answer that this is God´s church during the testimony meeting. He knows he´s getting baptized but he just has to get married!! Hopefully he and Juana will be able to soon. We invited him and Juana to talk about it again and for him to pray about a fecha when he should get baptized.
The Gospel is real and we have the great privelage of being members of the true church of Jesus Christ. Thanks for all your examples. I´m where I am today because of the incredible family that I come from. Love to my family
