Hello fam!!!
Sending lots of prayers to Houston! Even the people of Zamacola
here are talking about the flooding in Houston and it is such a miracle to hear
that (my family in Houston)-you guys are all alright.
Hope everyone is doing greatThis week was good!
I think that
the highlight of the week was going back to Alto Selva Alegre for a day to have
divisions with the Hermana Leaders. Whoa I miss my family of Selva Alegre so
much! We were able to have a lesson with Mary and Laura, and Jazmin and to see
that they are all faithful in the church makes me oh so happy. A cool experience-About
4 months ago Hermana Alais and I contacted a sweet lady, Milena, who works in a
little book shop. We shared a message with her, and she said she liked our
message, but she wasn't going to change her religion. We left her with a Book of Mormon, and told her we would visit her later on. We never had the chance to
visit her again because when we went to the book shop she wasn't there, or the
shop was closed. When we had divisions this week, one of the appointments fell
through and we were close to that book shop. I told hermana Narbaez about
Milena, and we went to visit her in the book shop. Such a cool experience! The
first thing she said was, "It's about time you came back to visit me!"
She was straight up with us and told us that she threw the Book of Mormon to a
book shelf without the intentions to ever read it. Her daughter who is 18 years
old found the Book of Mormon and read it. She read the whole thing. Milena told
us her daughter was atheist before, but read the book and said now she can't deny
the fact that God is real, and that he lives. Milena thanked and thanked us and
is so interested in what we have to teach. We had such a great lesson with her,
and the Hermana leaders are going to keep teaching her and her daughter.
The Book of Mormon changes lives. It has changed mine, and I am seeing it change
the lives of others every single day! Eros and Julia are still progressing.
Julia was with her family from Lima this week so we didn't have a ton of contact
with her, but she is still doing well. We had contact with Eros every day this
week and his testimony is growing so much! & We have a family night with
him today and President Johnson is going to come, WOOT! ha. Neli was able to
come to the church and she really liked it:) We had a chicharron activity of
the ward this week to raise money so that the young women and men of our ward
can take a temple trip! It was a great activity with food, soccer, volleyball,
and more! We were able to meet 2 families of non members that came and we are
excited to teach them this week!
Thank you for all the love, support, and
prayers. I can seriously feel the prayers everyday! Go have a happy week and
find someone to serve! Favorite thing I read this week: "When others´needs
start to matter more than our own, and when others successes are more exciting
to us than our own, we are beginning to experience the kind of love that our
father in Heaven and our Savior have for us. It is a love without dimension. It
has no boundaries. No limitations. It is pure. It is infinite. It is eternal.
Oh, how I want to have more of this kind of love for others." XO
