YATE`HEY EVERYONE!!
This week was a fast week but it has
been a week full of pretty different experiences!!! How do I even begin... well
we had exchanges this week Saturday and me and the sister that I was out with
we were walking and we got out of a lesson and continued to walk to find some
people as we were walking a storm approached us and I’m not talking about a
windy storm it was the most terrifying storm I have ever been in especially
outside, there was tumble weeds and rocks and dirt hitting us we ran from road
to road not knowing where to go our car was back home and we were a couple of
miles away. The storm would not allow us to even move, we then huddled to a car
and waited to see when the storm would stop and as we were waiting a family saw
us from their trailer and they told us to hurry and come in so we ran and went I
not knowing them but then as I was entering the home I knew this home looked
familiar and it was a trailer that we had traced into and they were not
interested in our message, I laughed inside because I knew that they would
realize who we were. We then started to talk to them about what we believed and
they did open up they asked very good questions and we were able to answer
them. It made me realize in the end that it didn’t matter if in the end they
were not interested, what mattered was that me and my companion were able to
plant a seed.
This week we also had another interesting experience, we were
walking and we went to go see if one of our investigators was home he ended up
not being home, we assume he was at work but as we left his front door we came
across a dog who look very hurt we tried helping it calm down. We then heard
our investigators home open and it was his wife who had never before talked to
us and told us that she was not interested. It ended up being her dog and she
only spoke Spanish and I was able to talk to her and build that relationship as
time went on she ended up telling us how she just lost a loved one and how she
really had no knowledge of what will happen after death I was able to tell her
that, that is what we as missionaries teach about, she had a light in her eyes
and she said well next time you come and teach my husband come and teach me
too “ come and get me out of my doubts” (Lord I believe; help thou
mine unbelief). I thought to myself how many of us have doubts that we live
with and how in the end there are so many out in the world who are confused but
I know that we do have a loving God who provides us with answers and direction
I’m thankful that I have the opportunity to have this calling to teach the
restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
This week we also had 2 of our investigators get on baptismal
date for June we will be having a baptism this Saturday and we had 5
investigators at church this Sunday!!The work here is going great and I love
this area with all my heart! Let’s hope now I don’t get transferred this next
week, we receive news on Saturday the 3rd and transfers are on Tuesday!
