Well, I got my last transfer call on Saturday that said I
will be finishing things up here in Las Torres with Hermana Gentry! SO STOKED.
This week was full of miracles. Every day I feel a little more humbled and
grateful to be a missionary.
So short on time so just gonna share 1 of the big miracles:
So our cute pencionista, Norelis, is the young women's pres. and she gave us a
referral about 2 weeks ago. There is a 17 year old from our ward, Mari Luz, she
has 4 siblings, and is the only member of her family. Norelis told us how
awesome Mari Luz is and said how we need to visit/get to know her family. She
gave us Mari Luz´s phone number but didn't have her address. So we have been
calling and calling, but she doesn't answer. We were thinking last week, oh we
will just talk to her at church to plan a time to visit her, but she didn't go
to church last week. But literally my comp and I everyday of the last 2 weeks
have been calling her, praying for her, and talking about how we need to get
ahold of her. So a few days ago we went to visit Graciela, but she wasn't home.
Our area is huge, and she lives at one of the limits of the area. We literally
have to hike up and over a few hills to get to her house ha. We left her house
thinking we would go visit a different investigator, (because we don't know the
area well where Graciela lives) but when we were about to hike that hill again,
we both got a really strong impression that we had to stay on Graciela's street.
so.. we just started to knock doors of that street. After about a half hour of
knocking doors, a cute teenager opened up the door saying she was a member of
the church. Us:"What is your name?" Her:"Mari Luz".. my
companion and I looked at eachother in shock... what!! Such a tender mercy! She
invited us to visit her family, and yesterday her mom and sister came to church
with her! Real big testimony builder for me.. that God answers prayers, and
that when we are led by the holy ghost, we see miracles.
It has had me thinking
that we really are so blessed as members of the church to have the gift of the
holy ghost. To guide us, warn us, comfort us, testify of truth. We have heard
the voice of the Lord if we have listened to the holy ghost. Our loving father
in Heaven knew that this life would have many trials, hardships and that we
would have many questions, temptations, and weaknesses.. so I know he has given
us the holy ghost to protect us and to guide us. Always ask in your prayers for
the guidance and help of the holy ghost and live worthy/keep keeping all the
commandments so that you can all recognize and follow the impressions of the
holy ghost. :) That's my little spill for today.. love you all, have an amazing
week!
