Haha so we had some
snow this week, but thankfully it is now gone! Makes life happier for me :)
So this week has been
pretty good, and spiritual. We have had some awesome lessons.
We had a lesson with
Sarah and Agustin, but we mainly focused on Sarah and her smoking problem. We
started off reading some scriptures about how Christ can help us. Then under
the influence of the spirit we made some cool promises to her. We told her that
if she really would put her faith in the Savior, she would not smoke another
cigarette. That was Wednesday, and she told us yesterday that she hasn’t smoked
yet! WAHOO!!
We were also able to
get in contact with this guy that Elder Shepherd met last transfer. His name is
Yabin and he seems so cool! We have an appointment with him this Thursday. He
seems to have such an open heart.
Friday I went on
exchanges with Elder Weese, the guy who I flew into Mexico with. We had a good
time. The miracle we saw was there was this French family they had found, and
there happens to be a missionary from France close by their area. So we set up
a time with the missionary and this family to come by. They also brought a French
speaking member. But when we got there the daughter answered and said that her
mom had forgot. But she was speaking to Elder Weese in English. So I told the French
missionary to go speak to her in French. So he did and she warmed up a little,
but still said her mom wasn’t available. But then after the door had closed we
were talking on the sidewalk and the mom peaked her head out. He then spoke to
her in French and she let us right in. We left because we don’t speak French,
but they told us that she accepted baptism. So that was cool!
Saturday was a day of
service. We helped this family rip out carpet, and put a new wood floor down.
It was so much fun! But I am way sore!
Then on Sunday we had
an awesome lesson with Catalina, a recent convert, and her son Jesus and his
girlfriend Norma . We have been trying to get Jesus and Norma interested. So we
started off with the video that the church has just put out. It totally brought
the spirit and Norma started telling us how she hasn’t’ prayed in many, many
years and how she feels like there is so much stuck inside her. We were able to
testify that the Savior is there and he wants to help her. Then Catalina like
jumped in and just told Norma that she needs to come to church with her and
just do all the stuff. It was super awesome and the spirit was so strong!!
Love you all!!
