This week has been great.
Really it has been. I have felt so much love from so many people.
People at home, people in the ward, my compy comp, my roommates, even
President Wilson! Everyone has stopped by, called, sent letters,
packages, ice cream, you name it. I have felt my Heavenly Fathers love
for me through his servants. So thank you everyone!
We even got to do some missionary work this week,
and saw miracles, like always. It is funny how he even blesses you when
you sleep for three days straight.
We have been teaching these two cute little brother, Wilmer (11) and
Jordy (9). We found their family through a member, and the parents have
had no interest, but the boys love the lessons. They have both prayed
and have received answers that this is the true church (through dreams)
and want to be baptized so bad. It is a little tricky though without
the support of the parents and them being so young, so we have been
taking it slow and trying to get the parents involved. They have been
begging their mom to take them to church, but she is always "ocupada"
but finally she agreed to let them go if we got them a ride. This
was Wednesday night, so we were a little crazy. But we promised her
that someone would pick them up, and the boys were so happy. Surgery
shenanigans happened and before we knew it, it was Sunday morning...and we didn't find them a ride. It was 9:30
and I just said a little prayer and called our cute member Oralia and
by some miracle she answered and agreed! Then I called Belkis, their
mom, to confirm, and by another miracle she answered and the boys were
already getting ready! It was the best, the boys came and they loved
church, they want to be baptized and so now we just have to get the
parentals! We are so happy.
This morning I read the talk that Richard G. Scott
gave at general conference and it is one of my favorites. It talks
about how we just have to love people, and then share with them our
simple testimonies, and how our testimony has helped us in our lives.
He talks about how we need to trust God's children, and when we trust
them, they do amazing things. I was just overwhelmed with gratitude
once again for the time I have to be a missionary, to learn how to
teach, how to love, and how to help other accept the gospel. I love
being here, and I know my Heavenly Father is looking out for me!
Remember be good, and share your testimony of the atonement with
everyone. I love love love you all!
