Week # 67. Walking in the rain.


Hello everyone!! How was the week??

To start of: our star friend!! This lady has faith like crazy let me tell ya. Mixed in with a bunch of missionary mix ups, shes still wanted to keep progressing! This week we called her to confirm some things for her baptism and she said "can we eat pork? Cuz if not I wont, but i just want to be sure" i told her we definitely can eat pork hahaha the bbq here is too good to be eaten without pork. So this week she is going to be making the first covenant in her life! So cool to people make these steps!

One of our other friends has some big questions but still has said she wants to keep reading the Book of Mormon! I know shes going to find some miracles if she keeps reading!

Funny story: we were walking to her house in the rain and heat and when we finally got there we realized that we had planned for the next day! And that we had just walked 40 minutes! So we made that walk back home and used some faith to walk back the next day and had such a good lesson!

This week I had one of the coolest experiences ever! I feel prompted to share it so I'm gonna! At one point in one of the days I was thinking about how often I tell people they should pray to ask to feel God's love. But then I realized that I had never done it! I finally made my attempt! In that same talk the lady said "Even if you were the only person to ever live, Jesus would've still died for you." And so as I was saying my prayer, that thought popped into my brain followed by: "I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt! Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?"(I Stand All Amazed) in that moment I knew God loved me. I extend the same invitation to all of you. Ask Heavenly Father if He loves you. Really, really ask Him. I promise you'll get an answer.

Y'all need to have a great week this week! You deserve it! Don't forget to say your prayers and read the Book of Mormon!

Week # 84. Other cities & conference!

Hello Everyone! This week we had some good experiences so we can just hop right in!  We found that some earlier sisters had worked in a smaller city outside the main city and we decided that we we're gonna go out there and give it a go! I'll just say that was the best decision ever haha we basically got to knock doors for 5 hours straight to a bunch of people that were super willing to hear about Jesus. At one point we got to a house where this lady was washing clothes so we went up, introduced ourselves and asked if we could come back another day because she was busy and she goes, no no! Please sit down! I could never turn away representatives of Christ. My mind was blown!!! So we got to have a super amazing lesson with her right there At another door that we clapped, this older man of probably 80 years old life in him opened his window and we introduced ourselves and then he opened the front door and his son hurried to the door and was like "hey who are you guys!"

Olááá Everyone!! We had some miracles this week!! First and foremost, our convert who got baptized two weeks ago, brought his whole family to church!! We were so proud of him!! We immediately went over and talked with them all and our convert goes "so let's mark some lessons right now, and let's have at least two lessons a week." I was so excited!! Not one but two lessons this week!! Then the coolest thing, we got to give him the priesthood :') It really made me remember of when I got it back at 12 and I had so many feelings!! This church is so true!! With the couple that's always so apt to change, we had a stressful week!! So we needed to take them into the city building with like 20 documents for EACH of them so we can get them married! Some how, by a miracle from God, they didnt have any problems!! It all went very smooth:) but then when they asked for my ID I whipped out my Utah Drivers license and they said that wasnt valid and I was like "are you ki...

Week # 88. Three Separate Beings

Olá tudo mundo!! This week we taught a few more reinforcement lessons to our friends who are struggling with the word of wisdom, but these lessons were so good!! For one of our friends we talked about the vision of the tree of life. And when I shared what I thought, I talked about the verse that says: "And after they had tasted of the fruit they were ashamed, because of those that were scoffing at them; and they fell away into forbidden paths and were lost." So from that i talked about how it is the same with us! When we start to get a testimony of something, we learn that not following through with that thing is going down a forbidden path! And then that line "were lost". So SCARY! Basically I told him that now that he is gaining a testimony, he gets to have more blessings but live at a higher standard! And he said he is ready to stay off the Forbidden paths!! Then this week we started teaching a new couple!! Yall. I have never ever had anyone in my mission, pay at...
