Hello hello! I hope everyone had a great week! This week was
a real happy one.
Yay for December! Ya know how Liliana´s baptism was going to
be the 16th? She told us on Saturday she can't wait any longer. She just wants
to get baptized now.. so she will be baptized this Saturday!:) She is so ready.
Stoked for her! Bishop announced it in church yesterday, and Liliana invited
literally the whole ward to her baptism. She is the BEST.
Juan Carlos is still
doing great, but he is just scared to be baptized. He wants to be baptized, but
he still doesn't want to put a baptism date.. it's weird, but we´ve got lots of faith
with him.
Last week we contacted a lady named Rosibel in the street. She is
from Colombia and lives with her boyfriend and little baby girl. It was really
cool-this week we had a lesson with her and we talked about the Book of Mormon
and it was great. But the most interesting part-the final prayer. She had told
us at the beginning of the lesson that she has a brother and sister living in Colombia, but didn't say anything else about them the rest of the lesson. I gave
the final prayer and it was so weird.. while I was praying I felt the need to
bless her sister in Colombia. I don't know why, but I prayed for her sister in Colombia, and the spirit stuck a few other words in my prayer too. When the
prayer finished, I looked up to see her crying. She said "how did you know
about my sister?" I just looked at her speechless wondering if I said
something offensive or wrong. She said that her sister who is a single mom,
lost her job 2 weeks ago and doesn't know how she is supposed to provide for her
family. Her sister needs a lot of help, and my prayer was an answer to Rosibel's
prayers. I am SO grateful that the spirit is the teacher and not us.
Experiences like this, build my testimony more and more everyday. Rosibel is
awesome and is so interested! She just needs to get married so we are working
with that.
Sad news: Andrea moved:( but the other missionaries are visiting her
in her area!
Did you all see the Christmas devotional yesterday? We got to see
it and I loved it! I loved how sister Franco said the Christmas is the time to
GIVE. 1. love, 2. service, & 3. forgiveness. Let's all focus a little more
this month on giving these 3 things. And you have all gotta follow the light
the world calendar from the churches website! Those little service
opportunities each day will prepare us better than anything else for Christmas.
Go have a happy week! and your Spanish homework for the week is one of my fav
quotes from Elder Maxwell: "Cada uno de nosotros es un posadero que decide
si tiene lugar para Jesús!"
