Los Ángeles Toman, Arriba en Cuenta

Well let me just start off with the news I think you all wanna hear,paradise is still paradise and even the Corona virus can't change that.On the real, everything is going good down here. The country is takinga bunch of precautions and we are all like super duper safe. But wekeep the prayers up for the victims of Corona virus and even though Iam a little disconnected here and don't know exactly what's going on, Ipray everyone is safe and ok.

But I really really really would like to share a story with you all this week.
Hermana Erlinda is probably one of my best friends. She is about 68years old, has lost one eye and a few toes and is basically one of thesickest people I know. She has just about every kind of sickness youcan imagine. Diabetes, Gastritis, Blood Pressure, you name it and shehas it. The missionaries had been teaching this sweet lady (the sameone we built a house for a while back) for over a year and she neverreally wanted to progress in the gospel. But as I think I have sharedrecently, she has really started moving forward. Even tho she cannotwalk and we have to use a walker, a wheelchair, a string of taxis, alot of prayers, and alarm clocks very early in the morning everySunday to go to church with her, she is firm, and hardly ever misses aSunday. But she never never wanted to get baptized. Even after tellingus one time that she did, she changed her mind and decided no. Butfast forward to this Sunday. My comp and I get up early, put on ourmatching suits (I bought mine first) and head to her house. And she isjust sick. This is normal for her, she is always sick, but this timeits different. Long story short she can't come to church but in theafternoon we get a call from a neighbor, she needs to go to thehospital immediatly. We were outside of our area and had urgentmeetings and things to take care of so we call a taxi friend and shegoes to the hospital. Turns out she has terminal kidney failure. Sothe next day, Monday, I go back with one of my ex-compaions whohappens to be in the area. And she is just a mess. She can barely talkand is not doing good at all. We talk for about an hour and she justopened up. Explained her desire to be healed and to be baptized. Butshe doesn't have the strength. So we rush to a nearby health clinic,she goes through a quick treatment, and then off to the baptismalfont, where after having to haul water by hand in buckets for an hourand almost falling in the well, Erlinda was baptized. By far the mostspiritual experience of my life.

But why am I sharing this story? Truth is while we were in the
baptismal service many people shared that they saw and heard angels
there with us. I am not big into supernatural things or anything like
that but I know without a doubt that God was sending his support and
that there were angels working that day. Which brings me to my point.
God plays an active role in our lives, and he sends his angels and his
love to us. I saw that this week with Erlinda-who is now ingressed in
the hospital on her last stages of life. I have seen and felt this
love and support from on high my whole life, I think we all have. But
sometimes we just don't recognize it.

God is aware of you. Of what you are doing. And God takes part. He
lives and he loves everyone of us. Which is something I didn't
understand before but something that I now testify of. So with all
this news and everything going on, first off be careful, but just know
that angels are real and God knows where to send them. Pray for
Erlinda and I hope everyone is doing aight.

SALUUUUUU
