Ahoj!
This week was a little bit more chill, but things are still going good.
We had a lovely meeting with a member and her grandaughter and talked about
prayer. She shared with us a little bit of her conversion story and set a
very good example for her grandaughter who is not a member of our church.
At the end she thanked us for coming and said that it was very nice to talk
about the gospel because she does not have the chance too, since the rest
of her family is against it. We also got to meet with a couple of our
investigators who are overcoming many trials and giving up a lot to learn
about the gospel of Jesus Christ. Thay are such good examples to me.
Sometimes it make me feel even more grateful that I was raised in the joy
that I am sharing with them. Seeing them change and work hard to have a
relationship with Christ is such a beautiful thing.
A couple of little experiences I had this week were as follows”
We took a shortcut through a little forest and I saw a woman that I wanted
to talk to. I saw a even quicker shortcut to her but felt tempted not to
go. The path was brushed over with plants that I had not seen before. We
went anyways and got stung by the plants. Nothing bad, but it was a
reminder to me that when you feel something, ACT ON IT. Elder Ronald A
Rasband gave a talk about being first responsers to the Spirit. I love
that, and it is something that we need to apply to our lives.
We also went out early one morning to chat with some people, and saw some
beautiful flowers. Sometimes I feel the need to just go go go, but we
paused a moment to smell them. I am so happy that we did! that is something
so small, I know, but it is the tender little mercies!!
We also got to see two baptisms this week! My favorite part was seeing the
people immerse back out of the water. NEW. Their facial expressions were
priceless. One immeadiatley embraced the missionary who baptized him and
you could feel his happiness radiating.
Yesterday during fast and testiomony meeting, a eigth year old girl got up
and bore a simple yet beautiful testimony on prayer. She had received an
answer! A couple hours later a young woman came up to me and told me that
she had been praying and could not stop thinking about the sister
missionaries, and she knew that she needed to ask if she could come out and
teach with us sometime!! SO COOL!!
I love the work and I love this gospel. I know that prayer works, I love
the story of Enos. Really all of Enos 1. His soul hungered, and He was
forgiven because of His faith. I know that as we remain faithful we will be
blessed.
Have a wonderful week!
