Hey Everyone!

The week flew by as we had transfers and Elder Lakey is leaving me!!! :(  It's ok though because Elder Summers, also from Utah, is pretty awesome and we get along really well. He has a huge desire to do the work and to serve others. 

Lesson of the week: God brings to pass miracles, even when we don't recognize them with our physical eyes.  We got up Sunday and called people to help us give Juan Carlos a ride.  No one answered.  We recognized "the ox in the mire" and called a taxi to take us to his house and then to Church.  We only brought 60 pesos, which got us there and that's it!  He has vertigo and can't walk very long distances.  I prayed to God for a miracle, but I no one could come pick us up.  Juan Carlos mustered up the courage to walk with us all the way to the church despite his vertigo.  We walked, and walked, and walked until we finally made it. He was confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ and received the Holy Ghost as a guide for the rest of his life.  What a blessing!

I realized then that God performed a miracle. There was no way that he could have walked all the way to the Church on His own strength.  It took forever to get there because of how slow he walked, but we made it. God answered my prayer, Juan Carlos was confirmed.  I could have prepared a lot better, but thankfully God was merciful when we came up short. 

So, look for the tender mercies every day in your lives. God helps us so much because He loves us so much.  Sometimes we just don't look for His hands in our lives.  I know this gospel is true and that He answers prayers, sometimes just not the way that we expect them :)

Love,

Elder Pomar
