This week has definitely been a learning week! I learned so much about patience and faith! For the last few weeks we have just been trying to find new investigators but it had always seemed that once we found someone, they actually weren't really interested... so it was just kinda hard to see that and I just for a little bit questioned if I was really being used and then we had a huge tender mercy:) So one of our investigators is a mother and a daughter and they started being taught before I got here but I think during my 2nd week we went and visited them and it was really great and we were excited next time to talk about baptism again with them, but on our 2nd visit it ended pretty quick because her daughter was sick so we left slightly discouraged just because we didn't really know how to help them and didn't think that we were doing any good. but then the next week when we went over again to give her daughter a blessing she told us that the previous week when her daughter was really sick, the mom told her that it was all going to be okay because the missionaries will come, the daughter doubted however because we had just recently visited but the mom, she just felt that we would. and sure enough we did that day and she told us that it was such a tender mercy to them because it lifted their spirits and from that experience they knew that they were being watched over! This was such a testimony builder for me because we just never know what people are going through sometimes. on that visit we thought that is didn't go great and we felt really bad, but it turns out that it completely was an answer to their prayer.
sometimes we don't know why we are led to certain places or to do certain things, we may not even get to see the outcome, but I just truly learned that christ is guiding us to those in need and I love being his tool to help those people:) It is an incredible feeling being a missionary and I have come to grow such a love for these people:D
Anyways so overall this week was wonderful!
okay so funny stories:
also scary story.. okay so thiss week after correlation with the Bishop and ward mission leader we were walking back, and on the way back its pretty dark and just like forest all around with little urbanizations but there were 4 of us so we were all good! but anyways so we are walking down the street and and suddenly all of the other hermanas just stop in place with straight fear on their faces! I was like so clueless as to what was going on (no surprise!) haha but anyways they just started running! I was so confused i thought like a horse or like dog was chasing us! it turns out that in the middle of the road the pot hole just began to smoke and bubble up, it was the most bizzare thing but what scared me the most was that everybody was like running! haha who knows what happened with that but it was so so funny!
okay honestly I hope this made sense! haha I love it here and I love this gospel and the people I get to serve and I love you all so much!!
con mucho amor,
