| Hermanas in my area |
I got the Easter package but sadly I don't know when Easter is... was is yesterday? haha oops
I am so thankful for my trials. I have a lot. I have been studyng
about trials and how to overcome them in the scriptures. I love how
each person deals with their trials in different ways. I am currently
reading in Ether about the brother of Jared and how he had to come up
with a way to light the barges. It is interesting to read the stories I
have always known again but this time in Spanish! I don't understand
100% but I see the stories in a different way. I love the book of
Mormon. Its soooooooooo wonderful! It was definitely written just for us
in this time!!! I have also studied a lot about patience, again. I love
the scripture in Alma 17 where it talks about how if we are patient in
our afflictions the Lord will make us an instrument in his hands. I love
it because 1. I love instruments (harp, piano, hahaha) and 2. because I
am a missionary now and trying to do the work of the Lord and do all
that the Lord is asking of me. But if we are patient and accept the
Lord's timing, anything can happen! I am working on accepting the Lords
timing. We had a lot of really good investigators. They were reading and
praying and kept saying they would get work off to make it to church. I
really felt like we were finally going to see success in this area! But
one by one, we have had to stop visiting most of them. One, had a
really scary problem and then left her house and we don't know where she
went, Last Sunday we visited her with Obispo Ruiz and his family and
everything seemed fine! We had an appointment to go back Tuesday but
Monday night felt like we should go see her. A hermana in our ward and
her son were with this investigator and she was SOOO drunk. She said she
could see Devils, people in her house, in her trees, their eyes, that
they had stolen her keys. All kinds of weird things. So a few members of
the ward came and the Elders and they blessed her house and we said a
prayer and sang her a song and then left because she had calmed down a
little. But we went to eat lunch with our ward member friend the next
day and she said that the hermana had left in the middle of the night,
It's a weird situation because she doesn't have any close friends or
family and doesn't have any money. We pray for her, but don't know what
happened. It's really sad because her problem with alcohol has taken
over her life. :( Another 2 investigators we had to stop visiting
because after visiting them for 2 weeks they both asked me out on a
date.... soooooo We think it's best that we don't go back because they
weren't interested in the Gospel... we gave their number and address to
the elders so they can maybe go and visit them though!
