How are you all doing? This week has been so great! We've been witnessing so many miracles lately, it's amazing.
We have been teaching this young less active brother named Editson. Last month, his wife left him and took their four kids with her to Chiclayo. He's been super depressed and it was really sad. A couple of weeks ago, his wife came back with all their kids for their cousin's wedding. My companion wanted to have a lesson with them and talk about ''The Family'' promclamation. It was really awkward at first because they were having marriage problems and I didn't want to get involved in it. But then we started talking about repentance. I shared Alma 36 with Editson and we invited him to repent and do what he could to change. Well, this week, we met with him and everything was so different. He said his wife left him again but she left all the kids with him. But he had talked to the bishop and done what he needed. He said on the inside, he was completely destroyed because he loves his wife and just wanted her back. But he said he was happy because he put his complete trust in God and knew that he had been forgiven. A couple of days after that, we were near his house and we ran into him. He had an Inca Kola (soda) in his hand and he told us it was for his wife. She had come back! We were so surprised and so happy. We wanted to just hug him, but we couldn't so we hugged each other! That night, we saw them together going on a walk and holding hands. Then they all came to church together yesterday. They are just so special!!! I love it! Tonight we are going to have a Family Home Evening with them and talk about being sealed in the temple. They are an amazing family and I have been so blessed to witness how the Atonement can heal their marriage.
I hope you all search for the healing power of the Atonement this week. It is the greatest power we have on this earth. I love you all so much. Stay faithful and true!!!
Love, Hermana Winward :)
