Another week of ups and downs in the mission field.
The downs.. Rosy had a lot of problems with her husband and went to live far away! But we talked to her on the phone and sent the missionaries over there to go visit her.
Enrique had the worst week ever with the word of wisdom. His mom went on a trip to Mexico City and basically he is just home alone almost all day drinking and drugging. The few times we went to go visit him his eyes were bloodshot and he kept saying strange things. Oh no. He didn't come to church either so we are going to pray a lot for him and see if we can literally save his life.
The ups.. Wendy is progressing super well! She loves church and just loves it all and has such a desire to learn. This week we are going to go to the temple and have a little lesson in the waiting room.
The church made another awesome holiday video "Gracias a que El vive" (Because He lives). But its not public until 28 of march. So its a secret still. But we saw at our zone conference and it is way awesome.
We also found a bunch of new investigators this week! We just are going to pray lots that they can progress.
We were teaching a lady in the park and all the sudden a member comes up and it turns out that it was her best friend! Hooray! Instant support system.
We went to go help this less active member clean her house but when we got there she just started talking to us and talked and talked for about 2 hours, but then she told us how much it meant to her that we were there to listen to her and to get all of it off her chest felt so much better. Sometimes the best thing we can do is listen. Not just with our ears but with our hearts.
We taught one of our neighbors this week and he is this really cool hipster kid, and had a lot of questions about why we are here on earth and about who Jesus Christ really was. So it was cool to testify about what we know is true.
I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior! It isn't something we need to understand perfectly but it is something we can feel! I felt so much strength from Him being far away from home and giving me the strength to fulfill this mission day after day. I felt forgiveness and also peace from regrets. I feel hope for the future and assurance that our family can be eternal.
I love you all so much!
How is the book of mormon challenge coming along?
