Well this week I have learned how prayers are answered.
Through General Conference, members, and the Scriptures. So I've had a question
for the longest time and this week I had it answered several times...and I mean
several times! But I've also seen how it works in the life of one of our
investigators. To start off we've done a lot of service this week. It has been
awesome!! No I didn't fall of of a tree and hurt myself... Maybe just off of a
porch that was 3 feet high into mud.. Yea that sounds about right. We worked
with a member in constructing his new house. We were leveling all the dirt
around the house so that when it rains, it doesn't form a mote around it. He
had two of our potential investigators there as well helping out and we got a
talking with them about the new Easter initiative! Awesome right?!?! I love
being able to talk in Spanish like you have no idea. Both of them could speak
English, but Spanish was a lot better for them so I had an excuse to speak in
Spanish. We had a fun time talking with them and working with them throwing
around some jokes and things and sharing the Easter Initiative with them
#Prince of Peace!! We also did some service earlier in the week with an
investigator whose dryer broke. So we showed up with a member and started to
help fix the dryer. It was a tight fit so I vaulted myself up and over the
dryer and behind it to start repairing it. The hose in the back came unplugged
and wouldn't stay on the dryer. So we got two clamps and put one on the front
and the other one on the back of where it would rest and tightened those two
together and it stayed shut!! YAY!! She was so grateful for that and we also
shared a quick message with her about how prayers will get answered and
sometimes after a trial of our own faith. It helped her a lot with that quick
message and when we saw her yesterday, it really did help. This week was just
full of service and stuff so I really don't have much to add. Sadly no lessons,
we're working on that but one thing that we did get to do was teach the Gularte
family about Eternal Families and it was amazing!! The spirit was there and
both the mom and other sister were following along in the lesson and asking
questions when they were inspired to ask. It was a wonderful, wonderful
occasion! I don't really have any much more to say, but that Prayers do get
answered!! They may come in the most weirdest ways or aren't the answer we are
looking for, but they do get answered!! Oh one more thing...General
Conference!! How could I forget! We watched General Conference with 4 different
members and each one fed us. We feel completely fat... But other than the food
all the sessions were really amazing and inspired! I loved what they all had to
say, but what President Uchtdorf said about fear really stuck out to me. He
said " Change will only come when we over come fear and reach towards the
love of Heaven. Only then will our hearts change." He then gave ways we
can overcome this fear, but that was surely powerful to hear. All were inspired
talks and things that were aimed to everyone in a different way. It is my
testimony that these things are true and that our Father in Heaven loves each
and everyone of us. I love you all and I can't wait to hear from you!! Te amo,
te amo, y te amo!! Muchissimo!!
