Mi familia!
This was such a happy week! Lots of highlights.
1. Mary and
Laura are the best. We visit them practically every day and they are so excited
for their baptism the 10th. When they are at church you would think they were
members because they have friends, they make comments in their classes & ah
they are just so ready. They've become some of our best friends :)
2. Junior. We
have continued to teach Tiffany and Junior this week and they are definitely
progressing. Tiffany is moving a little slower, but Junior.. whoa! Junior is a
new person! He received his answer that everything we are teaching is true and
he is so excited to be baptized. He read in 2 Nephi 4, the prayer of Nephi, and
said that his answer came clear as day. He came to church yesterday and was so
proud to tell the other members that his baptism is June 10th. Tiffany still
has a few doubts, but this is the week that we are going to resolve all of the
doubts:) Oh and their kids Luana and Benjamin are the cutest ever.
3.
Leadership conference. We had a conference this week for the hermana leaders and
all of the zone leaders in the mission with president. We all talked about how
we can strengthen the work in our mission and it really made me so grateful to
be a part of this mission. Our mission is super obedient and progressing lots & President Johnson is the greatest!
4. On Friday when we were heading to
an appointment, we felt prompted to knock a door that was super out of our way.
We met Yolanda. Yolanda is the cutest little grandma. We shared a brief
overview of our message and Yolanda started to cry. Her son is really sick in
the hospital and they don't think he is going to make it. She said she has been
praying and praying for confort in her life, but just feels so alone. She told
us we are the answer to her prayers and she knows that God sent us to her in
the perfect timing. She left to visit her sister out of town Saturday and comes
back the end of this week, but we are going to visit her as soon as she
returns. I know it was no coincidence that we knocked her door in this moment.
As Hermana Alais says, she is so ready!
We are seeing miracles here! I am just feeling so grateful
to be a missionary. The church is truer than ever and I love it with all my
heart. Until next week!
