Ethan's First letter of 2015! - Nechochea, Argentina 1-5-15



Dear Family - The Power of Prayer
 Its crazy how the power of prayer works, Saturday Morning i was studying in Chapter 4 of Preach My Gospel, its about How to Recognize the Spirit. I read a part mainly on that and so I ask the Lord in a prayer to help recognize the Spirit in my life....and this is how he answered.l
   All that day I felt completely Alone! I don't think I have felt so alone before, I had my companion right by me but I felt super Alone. When I was walking I felt alone, when I was talking I felt alone, when I was teaching I felt alone....and other things. I couldn't do anything almost all Saturday, I felt usless the whole day. Normally when I did the things during the day I felt that the words had just flowed out of my mouth, that I didnt need to think because the words just came, and it was the same with where we went while walking. This Saturday was different then all the rest. I was praying the whole time to know why i was feeling that way.
   It was like that Until i got to church on Sunday, and about the same time it started Saturday morning in ended, and as it ended I was taking to Sacrament. The Sacrament has become very Sacred for me. Like i said the feeling went away and i felt a huge comfort. Then i went to bare my Testimony in Sacrament Meeting, as i started talking i realized i was back to my normal self. The words that I said came to me through the Power of the Holy Ghost and God answered my prays.
  The First Answer was that he helped me know it what way the Spirit helps me in life and how i can recognize it. It was so present in my life, especially as Missionary that the only way to help know how to recognize the Spirit was to take its Assistance or help away for a time period so that i could see the difference.
  The Second Answer was through giving my Testimony in Church i realized why I had felt like that all day, God was just giving me the Answer to a prayer.
  The Third Answer was in Sacrament Meeting 20 minutes after starting, I prayed to help me know if the Lagoona Family is coming or what i need to do to help them get to church. I ended my prayer, and then seconds later my phone starts to Vibrate and it was the Lagoona Family. I leave the meeting to answer it, and she tells me that there about to arrive!!!! God Loves us so MUCH!!!!!
  The Fourth Answer was that we were praying the Ruben and his Daughter Magdalena would be able to get to church for a least a part, and the Last 20 minutes of Church when we were in Priesthood, Ruben walks in the Door!!! His meeting for work had ended early and he got to church!!!!!!
    God has been answering my prayers and so many Miracles are so present in my life. I am so Grateful for all that he has done for me and is doing and will do! I know that with these experiences he was answering my prayers about how i can recognize the Spirit in my life, and other things that are more personal. The Mission is changing and molding me into the Man that God wants Me to be, and I know that this is the case.
I love you all so much!!!!

con Amor,
Elder Ethan C. Durocher!
