Hello friends and Family :D
My companion just got told she was getting transferred to a new area and I am going to get a new companion, I was honestly not looking forward for that because her and I are great together, we learn from each other, rely on each other, strengthen one another, love one another and she is teaching me to be more brave. I don't want her to leave, but I know that I need this extra push so that
I can be a greater leader and take charge of weekly planning, updating area books etc (i don't want to bore you with all the record keeping parts of missionary work) It was definitely inspired tho.
Ok miracles this week:
1. There was a little boy (4yrs) at a less actives house and when we left he followed us, then I asked him if we could meet his parents, so he gladly took us to his home, except they were eating lunch and didn't want to come out, so in his baby language he said to come back another time :) We thanked him and left, later in the week we went by to see if they were home and they weren't but we met a young man and he told us that he and his mom were looking for a Christian church to go to last Sunday but couldn't find one. his mom came out and she expressed the same thing. Hallelujah! So we introduced ourselves as Sister Missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! And we are here to help others learn about Jesus Christ, we told her that we would love to teach her and her family more about the gospel and she gladly accepted! We were an answer to her prayer!!
2. We went into this neighborhood and after meeting three other neighbors teaching them about Jesus and The Book of Mormon and testified that He will bring peace and happiness in their lives as they apply His Teachings. Then we had to refer them to the Elders because they are English speaking people. In the midst of all that we found the people we were meant to teach! His name is Carlos and we testified that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ can stregthen us during our trials, when we out him first! and he said that that is true , for he has witnessed it before, but hes been lazy lately. He has this cute little 4 year old daughter. Then we found out that he is living with the mother of his child but they aren't together and he told us that she is the one that needs God in her life but she is hard hearted, we then met her but she looked uninterested and didn't even crack a smile at us. But one day we went to an appointment we had with Carlos but he wasn't home and she was, with her daughter . We brought a wonderful member with us, we talked about eh priesthood authority that that was the power Jesus Christ had and that his church has been restored, and how She can be with her father again and she will be strengthen and blessed and all those trials she has gone through that still weigh her down, can be swept away through the Atonement. Her demeanor changes through the course of our lesson, she was attentive, heartbroken, open hearted ready to act upon that 1% of hope she had in Christ and give it a try, then to top it all off my companion asked her little daughter to pray and she gave a sweet prayer that her mother was crying!
Love you all gotta go there is much more where that came from bye!
