Well, it feels like just yesterday that I wrote home but we had a good week
that went by super duper fast! Well, let´s start off with a funny story. So Hna
Lara called a contact to see if we could stop by later in the week. As they were
talking this lady says, What´s your names again? Hermana Lala and Hna
Babilonia?
WHAT?? Who is Hermana Babilonia!!?? Hahahaha we could not stop laughing and
I have NO idea where that name came from!! Haha I love Puerto Rican
people.
Also, today marks my 10 MONTH MARK. I´m dying!! Time is going by WAY to
fast I can hardly keep up with everything! Not sure what we are going to do
today to celebrate or what I´m going to do for my picture, but I´ll let you know
next week!
So I´m not sure if I told you about an investigator last week.. the one
with the two kids? Well her name is Jennifer and she came to church yesterday!!
WOO!! It was super great. It was kinda crazy though haha cause she woke up a
little late and had to get her kids ready so we had to pick her up before
Sacrament Meeting, but that´s ok!! Even though she was late, she was still so
willing to come. She is such a sweetheart and we are hoping and PRAYING the
lessons continue to go well with her because she is amazing and we know the
Gospel is going to bless her life immensely! Also, next week will be super
exciting because we are going to have a Regional Conference of the Caribbean
Area so we are going to have a broadcast all the way from Salt Lake!
Yay!!
Also, we had exchanges this week so I got to spend the day with Hermana
Despain (from Gilbert, Arizona!!) in Vega Baja! Hahaha did we have an
interesting day or what.. Let´s just say some of the craziest lessons I´ve had
in the mission.. The first lesson we had we were basically attacked by two women
of another faith about the Book of Mormon. It was just super sad to me. How I
wish for them to understand the importance of the Book of Mormon!! Isn´t it
amazing that Heavenly Father loves all His children and made it possible for the
people in the Americas to know of His plan and of His son Jesus Christ? And know
we can know of it too?? Well, I think it´s amazing and my testimony of the Book
of Mormon increased a ton this week! I also want to testify of the power of the
hymns! We ran into a new investigator of the sisters and she was having the
hardest time ever with everything. So we sang to her, Abide With Me Tis Even
Tide - Conmigo Quedate Senor. I can´t even begin to describe the Spirit that we
felt in that room! And the investigator loved it so much that she took us over
to her friends house so we could sing to her and share with her what we shared
with the investigator. It was a cool experience!!
This church is so true. The Gospel of Jesus Christ means everything to me.
I testify of the happiness that we feel as we share it with others!! The Gospel
changes lives!! If you feel like it hasn´t changed yours, try living it. I know
that the small and simple things that we do daily to try and become closer to
our Savior will really bring great things, and even miracles.
I love you all and have a good week!
Love,
Hermana Holt
Hermana Despain from Gilbert Arizona!
