So we were able to meet with "E" (who has been working 24/7 for the
last month basically). So this was the first time in a month, and it was
so great- super spiritual and she´s back on the right track!
We
also met with "E" and he accepted the Word of Wisdom!! He committed
to live it (woohoo)!! He has been holding out on setting a baptismal
date because he wants to know all the commandments before he commits to
anything, so we are teaching and he is loving everything!! One of the
coolest 16 year olds I know.
We also met with "M" and had a really interesting lesson. Every
time we said anything about how God is a loving God she would look kind
of confused or make a comment about how she is so small and has a lot of
trials... So we straight up asked her if she believes that God loves
her... she told us that she thinks she is too small to be of notice to
God. It literally broke my heart to hear this and we bore testimony of
how God is our loving Father in Heaven. We are literally his children
and we can´t even begin to comprehend how much God loves us. He has a
plan for each and everyone of us and is completely aware of our every
need, but also aware of what is best for us. I felt the spirit stronger
in this lesson than probably at any other time in my mission. God wants
us to know that He loves us. We have the restored gospel because He
loves us, I am here sharing the gospel because He loves His children
here. This is a work of love, because we truly have a loving Father in
Heaven.
So we are working with "L" and it was her
birthday this week... haha so I called her and as soon as she picked up I
started singing ´cumpleaños feliz... cumpleaños feliz.. etc´... I guess
I should have asked who I was talking to, but that didn´t really cross
my mind. So I just sang and when I finished singing there is just
silence on the line. I'm just thinking ´shoot, I probably should´ve
asked for "L"... after a good long silence she just says ´this is the
missionaries, isn´t it... ´ hahaa yes, yes it is! She loved it and she
knows it! :)
I had intercambios this week here with Hna Fuller... we were in the
streets a lot, and we found some great people. One was named "S".
So we were telling him about the Book of Mormon and he was really
interested. So after we had read with him a little and bore testimony
and all that jazz he handed us the book back and told us he didn´t want
it. What? He told us ´well this is probably a really sacred book, and I
don´t know if I can take good enough care of it.´ We made a deal with
him, if he took it, read it and prayed about it and still didn´t want it
when we met again we would take it back. We´re meeting with him today..
so I´m excited!
Yesterday was Elder Cloward´s bday and we ran into them in the
streets after they had just gotten some cake... he offered us a piece,
but seeing as we were on the streets we didn´t have anything to cut it
with. haha so we cut the cake with a pass along card! Yes... and that
is how you know we are missionaries. haha
That was basically our week: teaching, awesome members, cake... gotta love it!
Love you lots!!!
Shout out to my champion brother and the Bountiful baseball team!!! :) Wooohooo WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS MY FRIENDS!!!
