Hey everyone. I hope that it was a great week in the states. It sure was here. This week, I just want to account a story to you guys about an experience I had.
Esta semana fue lleno de contactos. El hecho, encontramos una villa en nuestro sector que antes pensabamos que no podriamos entrar...los misioneros siempre han dicho que no podriamos, entonces no pasabamos. Este semana, Elder Peterson y yo estuvemos en divisiones y ibamos a contactar el mismo parte que usualmente contactamos. Yo tenìa sentimientos que debiamos pasar por esa villa a ver si podriamos entrar. Llegamos al portòn y empezamos a esperar por un auto a entrar o salir. Despues como 5 minutos, un hombre volvio y no dijo, "Quieren entrar? (Empezò a mostrarnos las llaves)" Entonces entramos con el hombre. Le damos gracia y el entrò su casa. Empezamos a contactar. De los siete casas que contactamos, recibimos cuatro citas, tres personas que nos dijieron que podamos pasar un otra dia, y una persona que no queria nada. Salimos de alla superanimado. Fue supergenial a encontrar que reàlmente, no debemos escuchar que dicen otos misioneros y que debemos seguir el Espiritu. Como dice en las escrituras, " Ninguna cosa es imposìble para Dios"
This week was normal in that it was full of a ton of contacts. We found a villa in our sector that we thought that we couldn`t enter...the missionaries before me had always said that we couldn`t enter the community, so we never passed by. One day this week, I went on divisions with Elder Peterson. He came to our sector. We left the house after dropping off his stuff for the night, and headed out to do contacts in the neighborhood that we are assigned to. I stopped while we were walking...I had strong feelings that we should pass by the villa that everyone says that we can`t enter. We arrived at the front gate. (It`s a gated community.) After noting that there are no signs that prohibit missionaries, we thought, "We`ll just wait until a car comes out or something." After five minutes or so, a man showed up on the other side of the street to enter the villa. He looked at us and yelled "Do you want in?" (He showed us his keys) We crossed the street and entered with the man. We started trying to talk to the man, but he clearly didn`t want anything to do with us, so we gave him our card and offered service if he ever wanted it. He entered into his house. Then we started to contact houses. Of the seven houses that we contacted, we set four lessons, three people told us to come back by another day so that we could get to know them and gave us a time that they`d be there, and one person didn`t want anything from us. At the end, we left the villa super excited. It was really cool to realize and to see that, YOU SHOULDN`T LISTEN TO WHAT OTHER MISSIONARIES SAY, BUT THAT YOU SHOULD FOLLOW THE PROMPTINGS OF THE HOLY GHOST ALWAYS. It`s like it says in Mark 1:37 "For with God, nothing shall be impossible."
I leave with each of you my testimony that I know these things are true. There are many things that we perceive to be impossible, but I declare unto you....if they are the will of the Lord, THEY WILL HAPPEN. This work,is the work of the Lord...a work of MIRACLES...a work of Service...a Divine work. Never forget that. I pray that this would help somebody out there to have more faith in the Lord, and help them to seek and follow His will in their life.
Con Amor,
Elder Jackson
