Amor puro de Cristo

Buenos Dias!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week was interesting and good! We got to know a lot of members in our area and they are working with us more and more. There is this super cute member named Elsy, she is 70 something years old but she is super tech savvy, always texting her grandkids on her iphone, and she is way into family history. We went to go help her clean her house one morning this week and the next day she came with us to teach a few lessons. 

Hna. Elsy -- a cute little member who loves helping us out.

We had an experience that really changed my perspective. Last week we went to a little store and we contacted the person that was working there and talked a little bit about the gospel and we made an appointment to visit her this week. Her name is Alejandra. We went to her house this week and we were talking to her and she told us that about a year ago, she was studying in the university and working but she was passing through some hard things in her life and was super discouraged and was about to quit everything and drop her classes and throw everything away. She was on the bus and a sister missionary sat next to her and started talking to her. She asked her about if she was studying or working and Alejandra told her the situation. The hermana talked to her and told her not to give up, that she was going to help a lot of people if she continued and that she has a lot of potential. Alejandra didnt end up giving her her address for missionaries to visit her, or make an appointment or anything, but after that day, she decided to keep going. Now she is working and really happy that she listened to the advice that the missionary gave her that day! For the missionary, she might have gotten off the bus saying, well I didnt see results out of my efforts, and probably forgot all about it, little did she know that she changed Alejandra's life by helping her make that big decision!

I felt the spirit so strong when she told us that and I realized my purpose here, and our mission as children of God, to help each other feel the love that Heavenly Father has for us! If we have helped even one person, it is enough! We may not know the extent of our influence and we may not see immediate results, but the service we give and the love we extend to others is far greater than recognition.

This week had lots of little miracles, finding people who are lonely, teaching adorable families, feeling the spirit, and seeing the progress of these children of God.

I love you all and hope you have a great week :) :) :) :)
