Whoa an eventful week!!
Everyone here is so stoked on life
right now because after 36 years of trying.. Peru finally made it into the
world cup!! Everyone has been wearing their Peru jerseys all week with flags
hanging out of windows, banners, and a lot of parties.. its awesome ha.
We are
doing well here! hmm what happened this week... We gave talks in church, we put
on a big noche misional en la capilla, I taught the lessons in leadership
conference, & with divisions with the other hermanas this week, we had 3
days of different companions. It was a busy one! Yesterday was one of the
miracles this week.. God answers our prayers! We had ward council before church
started so we didn't have time to leave and pick up our investigators before the
sacrament meeting, and the members that were going to pick them up ended up not
being able to either. But we called them and a few of them confirmed saying
that they would be coming. Church started and no one was there. We were
starting to get nervous like "dang, after all of our work this week no one
is coming to church?" I know its a bad attitude, but we were just praying
and praying that at least Juan carlos and Liliana would come to church. Sacrament passed out and still no one. Then I gave the first talk and during my
talk I looked out to see 2 of our investigators, Omar and his daughter Sarya
walking in and finding their seat. Then while hermana Poulson was talking after
me, Juan Carlos sent a message saying "sisters, I'm here in the door of the
church, can you come get me?" so after hermana Poulson's talk we ran to get
him, and with 10 minutes left of sacrament meeting I felt a tap on my shoulder
from a girl in our ward pointing to the door and asking if the lady standing
there was an investigator. Looked to the door to see Liliana there. Miracle!
Our Father in Heaven was pretty mindful of us in church yesterday and maybe he
doesn't always answer our prayers in the moment that we want our answers, but he
listens. and in HIS time he answers our prayers.
Our investigators are doing
good and we are doing great! Hope you all have a great week and a happy
thanksgiving. This thanksgiving, I´m GRATEFUL to be a missionary. Count your
many blessings this week! Hasta pronto. :)
