This week was full of so many miracles I don't even know
where to start!
Saturday night we went to visit a mom, Marina Carillo
(Marina #2) and her daughter, Miciela, that hadn't been progressing much. We
had a great lesson about the Book of Mormon and profets and invited them to the
conference yesterday. A friend, Sarel, was also there and expressed how she
wants to learn more from us and how she is searching for happiness in her life.
The spirit was so strong as we testified of simple gospel truths that bring
such great happiness. Yesterday, the mom and daughter came to church, which was
the biggest miracle of all! Marina always said that she would come when she
felt like she wanted to take that step. AND SHE CAME. It was great. I could not
be happier and I know the Lord is guiding us every day!
Saturday we also went to find a girl we contacted in the
street and it turns out her house was at the VERY END of our area which I had
never even gone before. You see the mountain in the distance and think wow that
is far away and then you get to walk there which is fun. Haha, it really was
fun though. We followed her directions and ended up at a house, it turned out
it wasn't her house but the miracle of it all is that it was the house of a
random cholita that started talking to us one day, but left before she could
give us more information than, "I live down this road." We got to
teach her daughter and we'll be going back Saturday to teach more of her
family! The Lord definitely prepares the way!
We also found a new investigator, Mayli (pronounced, Miley),
it is cool cause we started out talking to her aunt when we were searching for
a less active, we then taught her brother and then one day she opened the door
and we got to know her and she is so so prepared! She is already living basically
all the commandments and she is looking for the true chruch! She loves reading
and is so so excited to read the Book of Mormon. It'll be fun to see how she
progresses!!
And there are a million other blessings and miracles I could
share... We are so so blessed! This work is amazing! I am just so happy.
I have come to realize that there is something magical about
this work! I feel like I work as hard as I can every week and then the next
week I have the strength and ability to work just a little bit harder. I feel
like this really comes through the Atonement. I really is the enabling power to
help us do the things we cannot do alone!
Oh yeah my transfer... hahaha! Wellp my cute companion, Hna
Perez, is going to be in the same zone as Hna Hill. She is sad, she really wanted
to stay here with me another transfer, but I know the Lord has so many people
prepared for her there. I will be staying here and training! I am excited. It
will be cool because my companion will have started her mission the same day as
Molly! So it'll be special, like I am training Molly. I feel like we will see
many more miracles and blessings this next transfer!
Wellp Conference was just great, right?! It is so great to
hear the words of the Lord! I really felt like there was a big emphasis on the Atonement
and having our faith set on Christ! I loved it all! I will definitely be
looking forward to reading the talks in English. We only ended up seeing one
session in English and the rest in Spanish. (Mom can you send me the English
conference ensign when it comes out? thanks!) Conference always helps me adjust
my focus and helps me know what I need to change and be better at.
I hope you all have a great week, especially with the
birthday of Emma!!!!! I love you al so so much!
