Familia
Wow well this week was
amazing; we found 10 new people/families, they are all so great. I will keep
you updated on the ones that keep progressing well. It is amazing to see
how much the Lord blesses us when we just keep going with faith. I have learned
so much about the importance of diligence and the amazing spirit that can come
into our lives when we keep pressing forward with faith. If there is one thing
for sure I have seen the importance to never, never lose your faith. The times when we need the gospel and the
spirit is in these times. I know the Book of Mormon is true and that we can receive
the peace and direction that we need thanks to this book.
Well happy news is that
M came to church yesterday..his dad didn´t come and we asked why and he
said "he said he had to clean, basically excuses" ha-ha... M is super special, he has so many great questions, I think this is one sign of
someone who is truly searching when they have questions. Yesterday we had a
class with him with Gospel Principles because there are little youth...aka none
or at least yesterday so we had a class with him..the first lesson on our
Heavenly Father and he did so well and we reviewed the things he can teach his
dad as well.
Miracles - we had a
lesson with a family where the dad, his parents and siblings are members. The daughter
of his wife now is 8 years old and we asked them what the expected of our lessons
or what they thought and she said I am liking this religion I want to know
more...ahhh she is cute. They are super great family and super open to
listening to the gospel, I hope we can help them live it.
This week we visited a less
active, well we always visit less actives, but anyway...we shared 3 Nephi 11
the first part to express the importance to attend the church because it
prepares us for when Christ comes. So
she came to church but it was hilarious because she walked in late while an
hermano was bearing his testimony and she said buenas dias and was waving to
the congregation...ha-ha ah it was funny. She also wanted to give the prayer at
the end of RS, after we had already had one and so they let her. She gave
thanks that missionaries from the United States found her to invite her to the
church...it was cute..although my comp is not from the US, she is from Mexico
ha-ha.
We also helped a drunk
man to his house this week. It´s amazing how small acts of service such as this
bring joy because you see how grateful the family is to receive them and that
they are safe.
Oh and in one of our
lessons this week the dad an older man like 70 was explaining to us what he
felt and he was like it´s like the song...and yep he started singing to us...ha-ha
the mission is just great.
I love the story of
the baptism - so special, it is so amazing at how the spirit works and yes mom
baptisms are amazing, I probably cry in every one that I have attended in the
mission, and yes the love and acceptance from the members is key!
Halloween, there were
some that went trick or treating here and dressed up it was kind of fun to see
them..but it´s weird that we are going into different seasons, here is it is
hot, well the last 2 days the sun has been super strong and hot...but today there
is more fresh air and wind...spring like weather...and that´s super sad that
you are coming into December weather now...gross - enjoy the snow....ha-ha
When you describe Emma she
sounds so big...wow time flies by I can´t believe she is already 1. Also I love
the examples of the my family who attend the temple. I miss the temple,
sometimes during personal study I just want to go to the temple. So mom I am
glad you got to go with and feel the spirit and receive answers to
things you needed.
Love is so important. People
always need to know they are loved and just keep inviting..never give up. I
love you!
Oh Katelyn of course she
watched a scary movie and can´t sleep alone. She could never sleep alone anyway
ha-ha.
We have changes this
week. I cannot believe at how fast this change has gone by!!!! We are hoping
nothing changes/I feel like nothing is going to change..I love Hermana
Rodriguez she is so so great, and today is her birthday. I have learned so much
from her, her patience and love for all and the way she teaches with calmness. Teaching
has never been my strong suit..but like I learned in Alma 56 this morning the
stripling warriors had so much faith to battle that none of them fail. We just
have to have the faith in the power of God and we will "win"
Christmas ideas, you can
send me surprises and gifts of love you desire to send me :)...pretty much as a
missionary I am good with what I have..or a new wardrobe..ha-ha no I am
kidding, a little bit kidding.
Family I love you all so
much!!!! Don´t ever forget we have a Father in Heaven who loves us who has
given us so many blessing and a way to be happy. This way is the gospel of
Jesus Christ! I love this Gospel and I know
it has been restored in our days. Love you so much thank you for your great
examples of faith and diligence. D&C27:18...the Savior is going to come
again we need to stay faithful!
I just gave my
comp a used tissue...well because she always cries when she receives emails
from her family and it is her birthday, but I felt bad I didn´t have any clean
ones...so that´s another thing I could use for Christmas - tissues, the travel
kind.
te amo mucho!!!!
