Hi family and friends!
Happy
Thanksgiving!!! We get to spend thanksgiving day in the homes of
members, serving, helping, fellowshipping and... eating! We'll be having
a big dinner with the Canizales family (from El Salvador, they're so
loving and caring, they feed us every Sunday
and not to mention they're the BEST cooks in the whole ward!) and we
hope a few other members will invite us to share part of the day with
them as well :) if not, we'll get to have some extra study time! Also a
plus--As a missionary we always feel like there's never enough time to
study!
We're already
on the last week of the transfer (FASTEST TRANSFER I'VE EVER HAD!!!) and
It has been NUTS! We conducted 3 Exchanges last week! hna. McLaws and I
are TIRED! haha but still pushing through! we have just 2 more this
week, starting tonight :). So we've been struggling a bit with finding
people to teach, we do a lot of knocking and contacting, but it hasn't
been yielding much fruit! And our members aren't inviting much at all,
so we're trying to work with them more and lately we've decided to find
through our big white binder of "Antiguos" (former investigators) and
it has been bringing a lot of miracles! It's amazing what happens what
you actually use the resources you HAVE to find! The Lord placed a few
really prepared people in our path and we're excited to work more with
them and see what the future holds! The gospel will bless their lives SO
MUCH! Along the way to an appointment we saw this tiny old woman
walking slowly in front of us, so we caught up with her! turns out she's
from Guadalajara and is a very very strong Catholic, she has a sister
who's Mormon, but said that when she was little she had a problem with
her eyes and her mother said to pray to the Virgin of Guadelupe for her
eyes to be healed, and they were..... She said she would believe in God
more if He answered her prayers.... we testified of the love of God and
how He is the only one who's power blesses and heals us, and that Jesus
Christ has brought that power and love to earth and restored his
gospel! She said she's happy the way she is. That was a testimony to me
that there are people who ARE prepared and others who aren't prepared
yet, but we never know until we open our mouth and start asking to find
out!
Mike's baptism is still a go for December 5th! it's so amazing to be able to see miracles of the gospel take place in people's lives! Transfer calls are this Saturday
and so we'll see if I'll be here for my last transfer or if I'm going
back to the Visitor's Center for the busy Christmas season again.... I'm
so torn, I really really really want to see mike get baptized! but
Wherever the Lord needs me to be, I will happily go! I love being a
missionary! I love the Lord and His true and living gospel! Have a
wonderful and THANKFUL week, show your gratitude through your actions.
Luke 10:30-37.
