This week definitely had its ups and downs. Not a lot of success, but some other great things that have happened.
Happy Eleven Months to me!
Also it was Hermana Lees birthday on Saturday. In the morning on the way back from running we bought lots of yummy bread from the bakery by our house and then at lunch the member gave us cake :)
A highlight of this week is Edgar!!! He is progressing super well. Probably one of my favorite things about being a missionary is visitng the people I have taught after their baptism. When we saw Edgar this week he was just radiating with light! It is hard to explain but it was really incredible and I know it is the Holy Ghost.
So, when we met him, he had been separated from his wife for about a year and they were getting a divorce. Right before his baptism, he told us he had made the goal that within one year you would be sealed to his wife in the temple! We felt the spirit so strong, but we also knew it would be little by little. His wife was baptized about a month ago.
Today at church we were talking to Edgar and asked him how his week was and he told us that his wife talked to him this week and told him that she would like the get back together! Hermana Lee and I felt SO happy for him. Heavenly Father does keep him promises to His children and the gospel really makes changes and blesses families!
It is amazing how much it blesses our lives when we are close to our Heavenly Father and following Jesus Christ.
One of our investigators, Roberto, is doing pretty well but he has smoked since he was 13. We made some goals and plans to help him stop, and one thing we are going to do today is put pictures of Jesus Christ and other great things up in a part of his house that he says he always smokes in, to help remind him not to. I hope it helps. He came to a baptism this week so I think that will help him too.
Another great thing that will happen today (today is transfers) is they are going to divide our area!!!! So the ward boundaries will be the same, but they are going to put a pair of elders in our ward. We were really excited because our area was HUGE! And now we will be able to focus on a smaller part and focus on the investigators and less actives in our part.
The trouble with this was finding a place for the new elders to live! We have had an impossible time finding a house for them to live in because a lot of the houses in these parts are a little expensive for the mission budget. So for now the elders are just going to live in the park... Just kidding. They will live with other elders for a bit. But it was something that kind of stressed us out because almost every morning we woke up early to go running in different parts to find a house but we didnt find anything! But it will be ok.
Well we made lots of plans this week to be the Hermana Dream Team! I have lots of faith that we will have some success!
I love you all!!!!!
Have a wonderful day!
