This week I am going to
start off by saying... I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY :) It is so great to be here.
We had a great week. I
am so grateful for all the blessings that we receive every day. I hope that it
was a great week in the freezing valley of Utah..Gotta say I don't miss the
snow too much.
Happy Birthday to Abby
on Sunday! I love you sister.
We had quite a busy
week. There were over 7 hours worth of meetings this week that I went to. I was
getting really nervous that our area is going to not progress as much….But oh I
was wrong. We were able to get 10 member
presents this week! That is one of the
hardest goals to accomplish in Spanish work. It was great to get so many members come out
with us. We also found 3 new
investigators. We found these investigators
by going through the area book and contacting old investigators and tracting. Finding new investigators has been one of our
struggles so we are excited to work with these 3 new great children of God.
Great news - Rose and
Carlos are back on date for December 6th. We will be planning for their wedding to be
December 5th. I love this family so
much. You know how there are some people that you think, "What would it be
like if I never met them?" That’s
how I feel about this great family. Unfortunate
news is that Bruce (their 16 year old son) fell back into some word of wisdom
issues this past week so he will be going back to the juvenile center. He was doing so good. It’s crazy how real Satan is.
Saturday we found this
great video on overcoming addictions and we felt so strongly we needed to show
them this video that night. When we went
for our appointment they weren't home. They
didn't get home until after our curfew so we couldn't see them. It was that night that Bruce fell into
temptation. The Lord really knows our weaknesses and the Holy Ghost is there to
help warn us. But I know that he is going to overcome this addiction :)
Christopher Perez is on
date for December 13th. We were planning
for December 6th but his dad will have to work that day so we changed it. We had a great lesson with them on the
Restoration.
We actually had a lot of
lessons on the Restoration this week. We
felt prompted that all of our dinner messages for the week should be centered
on the Restoration. We had a lot of
great spiritual experiences with members helping them remember how blessed we
are to be apart of the restored gospel.
This week one of my
personal goals was to listen to ALL promptings and ACT. My testimony was
strengthened of how much the Lord is working right along side of us. There are so many things I wouldn't do or say
if I didn't have the guide of the Spirit. We are able to see so many miracles as we
listen to all the Spirit guides us to do.
I hope you are all doing
great. Pray to be more in tune with the
Spirit this week. Pray that the Spirit
will help guide you to share the gospel with someone this week. All you need to do is open your mouth and He
will do the rest.
I love you all!
