Today was Fast
Sunday. Our Sunday block starts at 9:30
am and we begin with Relief Society/Priesthood hour. It was a great lesson on pulling everyone
together. There is a sister that knows
English quite well and she translates the basics for me. The teacher had a cute
picture of a person in a slingshot. (Try explaining that word in English!) With that picture, the emphasis was on taking
advantage of the momentum they have with the combining of the two wards.
I was impressed
today with the testimony of an older sister.
She shared with us how she became a member of the church a few years
ago. She was a devout Christian and was
faithfully attending her church. She had
a very vivid dream where she saw herself attending church in a different
building and she was very happy. She had
the strong impression that she needed to find that church building. I don’t know how long it took her to find the
Malvin chapel, but she did an extensive search all around Montevideo to find
it! I know that it in England’s early
Mormon stories, people had dreams that led them to the church.
I see Uruguay being in the “pioneer stage” and are having those same spiritual experiences.

We participated in
the “break the fast” lunch. This was
#2!. We have been in Montevideo for over
a month now.
