Hola!! Hope everyone had a great week! We are doing well
here :)
Mariela's family is progressing! Little by little they are meeting more
members and they like going to church.
The Rodriguez family.. Katy and Alexa
are doing so great!! They already have strong testimonies and are progressing
lots. But this week Johnny has changed his mind a little. He has had some
struggles with work lately and it's really testing his faith because he says he
feels like God hasn't been there for him. He told us he wants to postpone his
baptism a little longer. It made us sad to hear because we want the whole fam
to be baptized together, but this lesson with them turned out to be so
powerful. We talked a lot about the love of God, and we told them that this
night they had to pray together as a family. Johnny had to offer the prayer.
And we promised Johnny he would feel something special. We promised that he
would be able to feel of the spirit. We were able to feel of the spirit so
strong with them when we were promising him this and it was so special because
Katy and Alexa cried and shared parts of their testimonies with him as well. We
have the next lesson with them today and we are so anxious to hear from them!
We moved their baptism to the next week to see if Johnny will be ready by then
because we reallyyy want that this fam can be baptized all together. Please
keep them in your prayers!
Other points of this week: last Monday night-in
the middle of the night-there was a little earthquake and it scared us so bad
but all is well! We gave talks yesterday in church.We moved cuartos and feel a lot
safer now :) but yeah this week was good and these members here are helping us
so much!!
oh and Birthday shoutout this week to TEYO!!!! He deserves the best
day ever.
And can I just say it blows my mind that I am already at the
halfway point of my mission..? 9 months of growing, meeting some of my eternal
best friends, coming to know my Savior better, speaking such a foreign language
that I have come to absolutely love, and sharing the happiest news in the whole
world. I feel so grateful to be a missionary!!!
Just wanna finish up with the
words of Pres. Uchtdorf that I love so much: "God is real. He lives. He
loves you. He understands you. He knows the silent pleadings of your heart. He
has not abandoned you. He will not forsake you." Go have the best week :)
