Hola a todos!
This week was super great and we have seen a ton of blessings and little
miracles! I'm really excited for what the Lord has planned for these next couple
months, cause there is going to be some great changes!
Like I mentioned last week, fasting works and is real! After we finished
writing, a member came to help us with our groceries, and as soon as we got into
the car she said, I have a reference for you guys and we are going on
Wednesday.. OK!! We now have a new investigator, Maria Margarita!! And the
awesome thing is, is that her daughter who is a member in another ward has
already given her a Book of Mormon and the Gospel Principles book and she's
almost done reading both of them.. HOW great is that!! She has a desire to know,
but the thing that we are working with is helping her with the change because
she is really really catholic. She told us that it's going to take time for her
to change, but she is willing to do it! The Lord asks for a willing heart,
right? We are super excited to start working with her!
We passed by with Cecilia again this week and now we are a little confused
haha the lesson went really great and she is just loving the Book of Mormon but
when we reminded her of church (and we thought she had stopped going to her
other church) she told us that she couldn't because she already has an
assignment in her church so she needs to be there Sundays.. what?? We had no
idea and we aren't sure what happened! Little bump in the road there, but we'll
see what will happen this week! I know that Heavenly Father is control of the
situation and that He can work miracles! That's our little theme that Hermana
Ahlander and I have as a companionship, that God is a God of miracles! It's so
true!! And I testify and promise that as we look for them, we will see that they
are everywhere! He is constantly blessing us.
Also, our less active Dora bore her testimony yesterday and it was so
great!! We have loved seeing her come to church and we love teaching her - she
has a strong testimony of the Restoration and it's amazing how much the Spirit
can fill the room has one testifies of the blessings one has because of a boy
who asked such an important question in 1820.
Last night we had dinner with some of the members, Hno y Hna Olmo, and it
ended up being such a spiritual experience! As Hna Ahlander and I have fasted,
we have felt impressed to start contacting and working in Bello Monte, the area
where these members lived. As we shared with them our thoughts and feelings,
right there on the spot they gave us 9 names of less active families that they
knew lived in the area!! The sister even pulled out her phone right then and
asked one of her friends about taking the missionary discussions!! We finished
the evening in a kneeling prayer, which they asked me to give, and I know that
the Savior was with us in that moment. The Spirit was just so real as we asked
for help with the missionary work in this part of the area! Wow, Hna Ahlander
and I are super excited to start and even more excited that we've got two other
companions with us as well!! ;)
The days keep getting hotter and hotter, and our faces seem to get more red
everyday haha but I just love it! Not the heat so much haha but just being out!
Out in the city sharing what we know! It's not always easy, but it's so worth
it! Have a great week everyone!
Love,
