of how long or difficult a week may have felt, by the time P-day rolls
around, I can't help but count my blessings and realize how much the
Lord has helped us in the past week. But that being said, this week
flew by! Not to mention the month of Mayo. I can't believe it's about
to be June! So, now for the week:
Lesson # 1: the scriptures have the answers to everything.
We have seen many miracles from using the words of God rather than our
own. I'll just give one example. Tuesday we met with out investigator
Ingrid who has been praying about a baptismal date. She is still
praying and hasn't officially decided yet, but we talked all about the
Plan of Salvation. She has a good Biblical background so she had some
questions about our stance on the Fall of Adan and Eva. We went to 2
Nefi 2 and she was amazed at how well the scriptures explained it and
answered a lot of questions she has had. This week in general we've
been focusing a lot on using the scriptures to answer our
investigators and members questions.
Lesson # 2: "Where two or three are gathered in my name, behold I will
be in the midst of them"
For whatever reason this scripture has come up multiple times this
past week, and it has been proved very true. We had Zone Conference on
Thursday. It was our last one with the Cooke's and we learned so much.
Ingrid and her son Jorge also came to church! They loved it! She said
she just felt the difference of being in a church, and we testified
yet again of the feelings of the Holy Ghost. It also has proven true
for many of the lessons we have had. It's funny how we normally meet
people in groups of three, us two and them. And this week it has been
proven again and again, that the spirit is always there. We found an
awesome new investigator last night named Erik who was referred to us
by a member in one of the English wards. He is a really intelligent
guy and was asking all the right questions, which thankfully we were
able to answer for him. We are really excited to meet with him later
this week.
Lesson # 3: I apparently look like Taylor Swift.
The ward clerk and his girlfriend spent all of 3rd hour last Sunday
pulling up pictures of T-Swift and telling me I looked just like her.
I am convinced that a large number of Hispanics think any white girl
with curly hair is identical to Taylor Swift.
Other cool miracles that don't quite fit in a category but are worth
mentioning:
Oneyda is doing awesome! She wants to learn how to have FHE with her
family. Also we got to meet with her younger brother who is a member
of the church and is now coming to church again! Her husband was also
there for both lessons, and she told him how much she loves this
church. Neat.
Christian is also doing great. He has been able to overcome his
challenges with drinking and is now doing even better than before. He
attributes it to prayer and scripture study.
Our investigator Carmen, who told us she didn't want to meet anymore,
is now letting us come over tonight to answer some of her questions.
We are praying all goes well.
Well this is a much longer email than I anticipated, so I don't blame
you for not reading it all. I hope you all have had a great week, and
continue to do so this coming week. Les quiero y les invito que pueden
encontrar los Milagros en su vida diaria esta semana. Yo sé que esta
iglesia es la iglesia de Jesucristo restaurada en la tierra hoy y que
somos dirigidos por un profeta viviente que fue llamado por Dios.
Testificó de esto en el nombre de Jesucristo. Amen.
