Hi Everyone!
This week we headed to our 8th area, Barrio Municipal, to draw a
map and find a bunch of new people! We found an inactive family that agreed to
have a Family Home Evening this week with us! It makes me so happy to see the
families happy in the gospel.
Rain twice a week is just super normal now so yeah haha.
We've got the running crew up and running at 6:30 in the morning
again!
Hermana Villena made homemade alfajores! We are getting along so
well and are having a great time together. She is a great example to me. She is
a super great missionary and at times I feel super stupid for not knowing
certain things haha but I love learning at the same time :) I have learned that
I am no where near perfect but hopefully every day I can become a little bit
more who the Lord wants me to be. :)
Today we got to go to a festival of all different kinds of foods
from different countries for lunch in the center of Cañuelas! Hermana Villena
got her Peruvian food! P days are great :)
We have started to teach the son of Monica, one of our
investigators and I love teaching and feeling the love for the gospel through
the happiness I can see in others!
Dayana and Rene are getting married! We had one lesson with them
in the beginning of the transfer and could never find them home any other days
but this week we caught them in their house and they announced that they are
getting married. They said that although they have many trials, they realized
that it's the way of the Lord. I love this mission.
Ana our new investigator lives about 15 minutes biking from our
house but we got up early Sunday morning to pick her up for church. It was a
long walk but she was up and ready and enjoyed every minute of it!
I love seeing the determination that these wonderful people have
to follow Christ. :)
I have loved learning about the example of Alma the younger.
Alma 5. He is such an example for all of us. He went through a great change of
heart and went into full on preach mode with all of the people. What an example
of true faith. J
I have really enjoyed learning to teach the gospel simply and it
has brought me to realize the simplicity of the gospel.
When we humble ourselves...trust in God...Keep the commandments
and are faithful until the end... we will be blessed with eternal life. Christ
suffered for US and he is the light and life of the world.
I know that there is a true power in the scriptures. in 1 Nephi
19:23 it talks about how we can apply every scripture to our lives. It is so
true and the more we study the scriptures, the more we can help others know of
it's
truth!
Quote for the week:
"Faith is for the future. Faith builds on the past but
never longs to stay there. Faith trusts that God has great things in store for
each of us and that Christ truly is the high priest of good things to come.
Keep your eyes on your dreams, however distant and far away. Live to see the
miracles of repentance and forgiveness, of trust and divine love that will
transform your life today, tomorrow, and forever."
