Semana Cuarenta

Where did the time go?!?!? This week is the middle of my mission! O_O I make it over the hill in like 9 days O_O WHAT?!?!? hahaha but its okay.  I got a whole much more work to do in the short time that I have left in Argentina! XD Im excited! 

So I read this Chapter this week and I loved it! Its a short so you can read it all right here. I will let the spirit teach you what you need to learn in this point in time. XD 

The Holy Bible
John 9
 1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from hisbirth.
 2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, thisman, or his parents, that he was born blind?
 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents:but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
 4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: thenight cometh, when no man can work.
 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
 6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clayof the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with theclay,
 7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is byinterpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, andcame seeing.
 8 ¶The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen himthat he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
 9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, Iam he.
 10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
 11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay,and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool ofSiloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
 12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
 13 ¶They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
 14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, andopened his eyes.
 15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had receivedhis sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and Iwashed, and do see.
 16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God,because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can aman that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a divisionamong them.
 17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him,that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
 18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had beenblind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of himthat had received his sight.
 19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say wasborn blind? how then doth he now see?
 20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is ourson, and that he was born blind:
 21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hathopened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speakfor himself.
 22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews:for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess thathe was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
 23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
 24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said untohim, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
 25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I knownot: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
 26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how openedhe thine eyes?
 27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did nothear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be hisdisciples?
 28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but weare Moses' disciples.
 29 We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, weknow not from whence he is.
 30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is amarvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet hehath opened mine eyes.
 31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man bea worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
 32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man openedthe eyes of one that was born blind.
 33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
 34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether bornin sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
 35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he hadfound him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
 36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe onhim?
 37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is hethat talketh with thee.
 38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
 39 ¶And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, thatthey which see not might see; and that they which see might bemade blind.
 40 And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard thesewords, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
 41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin:but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.


I loved the phrase. "Opened His Eyes"
Now the questions for you: 

How are your eyes opened?
Are you willing to see the things of the Lord?
Are you willing to do the things of the Lord?
How has he opened your eyes?
Are YOU LOOKING FOR HIM?



Mi mini Milagro.
Tuvimos un bautismo de Sofía. Empezamos de mandar mensajitos a los menos activos, miembros y todo.  Hermana Calel, por equivocación mandó el mensajito a una investigadora, se llama Mariluz.  Ella tan rápido nos mandó un mensaje, pregutando... Donde, cuando, y todas las cosas.  Hermana Calel me miró con ojos de preocupación, me pasó el celular.  Yo mandé un mensajito contestando a todas las preguntas, para que si ella quisiera venir, podría.  Pero pensamos que no iba a pasar.
La saludé, y ella me preguntó. Usted es la misionera que me mandó el mensaje.  Y con una gran sonrisa en mi cara, empecé de hablarla.  Estaba con ella, todo el tiempo, porque Hermana Calel y Hermana Brown estaban ayudando Sofía por su bautismo.  Despues, ella nos contó que ella estaba orando, para ver que iglesia fuera la iglesia para ella.  Y justo en este momento ella recibió nuestro mensaje.
Ahora, vamos a visitarla, y ya asistió a la capilla con nosotras! XD  Ella quiere estudiar todos los libros por los clases en Domingo!
Y a noche, nos mandó un mensaje preguntando si ella tiene que ser bautizada de nuevo! Estoy tan animada para ayudarla venir mas cerca de Cristo  y encontrar el camino que Dios tiene para ella! XD
