Friendly boy Elder Tanner sat next to while sending his weekly email today. Like his new hair cut?
This week I feel like the lord opened up the windows of
heaven and poured out so many blessings here in Moquegua! We had the Baptism of
our investigator Susan Tapia. I will say it took several miracles for this to
pass. Several large miracles! It was absolutely amazing. After Susan had her
interview with our District leader she was devastated because she was told that
she would have to wait to be interviewed by someone for the mission presidency,
but she had faith in God and He was probably trying her faith at this time. She
told us that it is easy to be grateful when you are blessed but what about when
we are being tried? Later she was able to talk to President Zobrist and she was
given the option to be baptized. She talked to her son because she wanted him
very badly to be at her baptism but Her son told her that if she knew it was
true and she knew that she was going to be baptized she couldn't afford to wait!
We had her son connected to the baptism through Skype and I had the blessing to
watch as a son watched his mother find the truth that he had found so long ago!
It was absolutely amazing and I learned a lot from the experience!
The biggest lesson for me, Where is my faith, where is my
confidince. Its Easy to be happy when you are being blessed and when you are
having success, however, What is our disposition through opposition? How do we
respond to trials and challenges? Are we responding with patience and love, Or
have we grown so accustomed to the state of success that we turn away from something
difficult. If I was denied my salvation, how would I respond... Would I think
to pray and ask god what more I needed to learn? I hope that I can fallow the
example of Susan Tapia and respond to oposition with positivity!
Also we can buy a KILO OF CHOCOLATE FOR 15 SOLES!!! THATS
2.41 POUNDS OF CHOCOLATE FOR FIVE DOLLARS!!!
Love Elder Tanner
