Translate this: This is a part of what I sent to Presidente -


esta semana, nuestro testimonio del ayuno aumento. la semana pasada fuimos a visitar una familia menos activa que tiene un nieto que no es miembro, solamente porque su papa no le gusta la iglesia. la familia quiere que el niño se bautice pero el papa siempre niega que vaya. entonces, hablamos con el niño, marvin, y le preguntamos si el quiere bautizarse y su respruesta es que si. entonces el viernes antes del domingo de ayuno, les enseñamos acerca del ayuno, que si ellos ayunaran por el, iban a ver el milagro. entonces, ese domingo ellos llegaron a la capilla eso fue otro milagro. 

les visitamos esta semana pero solo la abuela y la tia estaban y el resto de la familia esta trabajando. pero este domingo la familia entera llego a la iglesia y marvin (el niño) estaba con ellos. hable con la tia y ella me conto que habian ayunado y que estaban orando mucho que el niño pudiera llegar a la iglesia. la familia tambien llego con el hijo que es menos activo y su novia que no es miembro. vimos muchos milagros esta semana que no solamente aumentaron nuestros testimonios sino los testimonios de una familia que tiene gran potencial.

This week, our fasting testimony increased. Last week we went to visit a less active family that has a non-member grandson just because his dad does not like the church. The family wants the child to be baptized but the father always denies that he is going. Then we talk to the child, Marvin, and we ask him if he wants to be baptized and his answer is yes.  Then on the Friday before Sunday of fasting, we taught them about fasting, that if they fasted for it, they would see the miracle. Then, that Sunday they arrived at the chapel that was another miracle.
We visited them this week but only the grandmother and the aunt were there and the rest of the family was working. But this Sunday the whole family came to church and Marvin (the boy) was with them. I talked to the aunt and she told me that they had fasted and that they were praying that the child could reach the church. The family also arrived with the son who is less active and his girlfriend who is not a member.   We saw many miracles this week that not only increased our testimonies but the testimonies of a family that has great potential.

This week was good. I am so glad that you are all well there! I hope that everyone is reading their scriptures this week!

A note to the Primary!!!!

Thank you so much for the fun package! I loved reading your notes and all the pictures and I am so happy that you are all sharing the gospel! You are all such lucky and blessed kids to have the gospel in your lives. The truth is that this is a huge blessing and that there are a lot of people and a lot of kids whose families don’t know that they can be together forever. They don’t know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is restored and that it can bless their lives. You all can help them to be happy by inviting them to church and to activities and by being their friends!

I love the gospel and I know that it is true! I know that this is the true church and that we can be together with our families forever. 

Love,
Hna Ashton

I can’t believe that it’s Monday again.

On Thursday we went to the activity that they always do for the vacations in August. It is mission wide so there are investigatores, recent converts, members and less actives all there to learn about the temple and about the church. The most special part was seeing Tony and Gladis there. They are two of our converts from Jucuapa. They were really happy to see us and we were soo happy to see them! They have really changed from who they were when we met them and who they are now. That is the miracle of repentance. we can change. 

I love you all sooooo much and I hope that you are all reading the Book of Mormon. That is the one piece of advice that I will never stop giving.  Do not stop reading it. And when you get to the end, start over. Always pray to be able to know if it is true. I know that it is because I’ve read it and I’ve prayed. So you can too.

I love you!!!
