So this week has been pretty crazy! But crazy good! To start
off we had a surprise on our preparation day! We got to see a comic con being
held at our Stake Center!! It was awesome since it was all (majority) Star
Wars!! I nerded out for a bit. We then went on Exchanges and I got to stay in
the area. We had two good visits then called it a night.
On Tuesday we had a really good lesson with a progressing
mother and daughter and they are just so prepared. We taught the Word of Wisdom
and wow it was just crazy to see how prepared they are. The mother quit
drinking alcohol and coffee about a year ago, before she even met us!! It was
amazing to see that the Lord truly does prepare people for the Gospel. We then
hit a struggle of finding people home. So we went to English class and then
unexchanged after that.
Wednesday we had our District meeting and it went really
well. WE then tried to see some people after that, but nothing happened. It was
slow. All of our appointments fell through and things kinda went south, but we
made the best of it.
Thursday we had another great appointment with the mother
and daughter and like I said, completely prepared by the Lord. We then weekly
planned and headed out out to visit people. Everything fell through again, but
we were able to do some service for some people and then hit up English class
again. Reset some appointments with people and then tried contacting, but just
ended up talking with a member to end the night.
Friday we did service for a good chunk of the day. It was
pretty fun, but really hot!!! We then tried to visit people, but no one was
home. Just seems to be our luck... We then had dinner and after dinner got
lucky. We were able to talk with some people and got some good visiting in.
Saturday rolled around and we had a lesson cancelled on us
which sucked, but it's okay. We then tried to see some people that we haven't
seen in awhile and we did. We attended a baptism and that was just a wonderful
experience over all and it was just so touching. We then Ended the night with
Agustin coming up with "strategies" (lesson plans) for some of our
investigators that we've been teaching. It was just a wonderful
experience.
Sunday rolled around and we had really good sacrament
meetings. We also got to bless the sacrament in Spanish which was a real treat.
I loved it!! It felt good to be able to bless the Sacrament again. We had a
correlation after church and then a dinner. We then had a Stake Priesthood
meeting which was amazing! Talked about the Restoration of things and all that
comes to pass through modern day revelation! Which was amazing! We then ended
the night visiting with our two boys! Good visit there!
Monday came and like I said this mother and daughter are so
prepared!! They had their baptismal interview and they are getting baptized
this Saturday!!! We're so excited!!!! We then had some good visits the rest of
the day and got to close with an FHE/BBQ! It was pretty fun!! Got to meet some
new people and play some volleyball. My team lost, but it's okay. We all left
friends, I hope...
Then today. Got to go to the temple and wow it is always an
amazing experience to go through the temple. In closing I would like to share
with you some song lyrics of one of my new found favorite songs here in the
mission.
"He hears me, when I'm crying in the night, He hears
me. When my soul longs to fight. Till the morning will come and the light of
the dawn, reassures, He hears me."
I know that our Heavenly Father does answer prayers. He
loves us so much and He loves to hear from us every day! I testify of that to
be true. I hope you all have a great day and I love you all and miss you!!!
