THE BERG #22

16! 

let me tell yall about my recent convert Esmeralda......

she makes me think of a scripture in Mosiah 28:3

"Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble."

Esmeralda has such a love for the gospel and has felt such a full and true conversion--that makes her want EVERYONE she comes in contact with to get a chance to learn about it. she brought her mom with her to mutual on wednesday night and afterwards we were able to teach her the first lesson. Esmeralda's mom said she felt so much love and peace at esmer's baptism that she HAD to learn more. she saw a change in esmer and wanted to find out how it happened.....we invited--she accepted. we are looking forward to her baptism on the 6th of December.

one of the first times we went to esmers's house there was a boy named clark staying with them....when we offered him a book of mormon he refused it and said he was catholic and not interested.....he came to esmer's baptism--and the spirit that was their softened his heart. we might have had to persuade him with breakfast to teach him before work--but we taught and invited--he accepted. we are looking forward to his baptism on the 6th of december. esmer called to report that she caught her mom reading in the Book of Mormon on her own AND that Clark was on page 65 of the book as well ;)

but wait! esmer also made it to every interview and got rides to the church so she could do some family history so that this saturday--less than a week from her baptism--was able to go to the temple and bring even more souls unto christ!!!! IM NOT KIDDING! THIS GIRL IS AMAZING!!!! no joke every time we see her she is telling us about another person she bore testimony to who is now interested in learning more...esmeralda just gets it! she understands that when she was baptized she became a disciple of christ. and as such--she has been commanded to preach the gospel to EVERYONE. she LOVES the gospel with all of her heart--so it is the first topic of  discussion..the hello-what's up-goodbye. it is in EVERY conversation with EVERY person because she cant contain the joy! let me tell yall....it's inspiring! i hope to be half the missionary she is when the tag comes off ;) the church is soooo true i promise!! and if you know it too...TELL SOMEONE ABOUT IT!!! 

love yall mucho!
