We had a GREAT lesson this week with an investigator named Silvana. Silvana is 27 and from Bolivia. She's Kevin's sister and she's a champ. We introduced the Book of Mormon to her to a few weeks ago, and it was a little difficult getting in contact with her after that. But she finally called us back this week and said she had questions and needed help! So we met with her and Kevin in her home and she had read the first few chapters already. She said the story is so interesting and that she wants to understand the principles that Nephi is teaching. We read through chapter three and four. I love those two chapters so much!
Silvana explained to us that she loves the example of Nephi. He and his brothers were given a task that wasn't easy. His brothers complained and wanted to go back, but Nephi stayed faithful and obedient and listened to his father. His unshakable faith is so inspiring. Silvana explained that one thing that stuck out to her was how Nephi and his brothers had to attempt obtaining the plates several times until the Lord delivered Laban into their hands. She basically taught herself that the Lord really does do His part after we do all that we can. When we put in the effort instead of just giving up after the first attempt, we will see miracles! Anyway, Silvana is a champ and we're so grateful for her desires to continue learning! The spirit is always present in those lessons, and I know that she recognizes it.
Ugh time crunch... All is well here in Barrio 4! Time is really flying by. I love this area so much!
Love you all! Have a good week! Send me pictures cause I miss you all.
