Following the Spirit and Loving the People

What a week. It went by fast too. This week I learned the importance of following the Spirit and loving the people. I've found a lot of counsel in the scriptures and comfort in prayer. Sunday night we had a really inspired lesson with nuevos that we found. It was getting to the end of the day and we had been praying to find people to teach all week, and that day especially. We saw a man coming home from work and open the door to a child running into his arms, and we felt we should talk to them. They let us in and it turns out the man is single and lives with his sister who is a single mom. They said they'd been looking for God in their own lives and had been praying to get a Bible to study. They knew we weren't there by coincidence and were really interested in the Book of Mormon. And they have a baptismal date set for 2 July.

Yo sé que el Espíritu Santo es real, y es por medio de Su guía que podemos encontrar las personas que Dios está preparando. Es cierto que como un misionero de tiempo completo, es mi papel hacer este obra todos los días, pero sé que también Dios está preparando personas en sus caminos, y que al seguir ese mismo Espíritu, pueden ayudar en apresurar la obra de salvación. Estoy tan agradecido por este Evangelio verdadero que cambia vidas, y nos acerca más a Dios y Jesucristo.

Gracias por todo su apoyo, amor, y cartas. Les amo muchísimo. Que tengan una buena semana!

Elder Evan Smith
