I've officially been here for about 2 weeks now, and ive realized I haven't talked a ton about it yet, but I have had some really cool experiences and definitely seen the Lord's hand through all the things that have happened<3
Milagros que hemos visto:)
We have been able to find some really sweet people! We have a family who had been taught by missionaries before, and she said that they had recently just talked about how they want to go to church! In our first lesson with them we started by singing families puede Ser eternas, and she loved it and had tears in her eyes, they are very special:)
Another miracle we saw was with a sweet menos active who my comp said hasn't let missionaries come in forever, we stopped by, and it had been a kinda long day so I just really said a prayer in my heart that she would let us in, and she answered, talked to us for a little bit and offered us to come and sit down, truly a miracle and an answer to a prayer:)
We also saw another MILAGRO with a sweet mom of 3, we came and stopped by for our return appointment and after many knocks she didn't answer, and in Puerto Rico we just call at houses, so since the window was opened we figured it was worth shot, so i just kinda went for it feeling riht at home and I called at the house "buenastardes!" And a little girl came to the window! She got her mom and we were able to teach the plan of salvation! It felt so good and it has been really cool to try things we did in puerto rico here, one of which has been singing too!
I am doing good here, as i am learning to trust in the Lord, but also little things like, you should never eat a bag of doughnuts before a dinner appointment.... haha:) also I still definitely buy canned chicken every time I go to the store! Haha I tru,y came to love it!
Also on saturday i was asked to give a talk for Sunday about my conversion and our eexperience in Puerto Rico, hahaha kinda short notice but a perfect topic, it has really allowed me to recognize how my conversion really has been on my mission, and how I am here being shaped into the person he needs me to be, many people ask me what it was like to be a missionary in Puerto Rico during hurricane Maria, and honestly it's one of my greatest blessings I have been given, I have grown and seen the Lord's love and hand in ways I never have been able to before, so for that I am forever grateful to be a Puerto Rican missionary<3
I love you alllll so much! Thank you so much for your love and prayers, especially for the prayers toward Puerto Rico, our little island that CAN!
Con mucho Amor, Hermana Zimmerman:)
