The Funeral Singers
Well, this week, I wont lie, has been tough.
Monday, the ward pulled together to help clean the house of an elderly lady. Hermana Conchita. She is a wonderful little sweet lady, but she lives in awful conditions. She cant really get out of bed and so she uses a bucket as her toilet and then it sits there because shes alone and few visit her or have the nerve to take care of it. So, her house doesn't smell the best. But this week, they finally decided to help clean it up. Well, we got it mostly cleaned. The next night she didn't feel good, and finally went to see the doctor.Turns out her rib and pelvis were broken. And she was starting to get pneumonia. So, she was in the hospital. On my companions birthday, she passed away. Saturday we were asked to talk in her funeral and to sing. We Chose "Each Life that Touches ours for Good." It was really special.Then we shared our testimonies with her neighbors and "family" that was there. It was a super spiritual moment. She will be missed, but she is a lot happier now.
Also, another Hermana, Hermana America is bed ridden. she s a light of life! She loves to laugh and make jokes. She has been stuck in her bed for more than a year because she is waiting for a hip replacement. Well, yesterday she went in a coma, and is not doing well. They don't think she will be coming out.
But truthfully, it just helps me to be so grateful for the Plan of Salvation. We have the possibility to be with our loved ones for forever. It makes me so sad that there are SO MANY who don't even have a clue. They see death as the end. Theres nothing more. they will never see them again. But it isn't true! There is a chance. You can have your loved ones for forever. Yeah, there is a cost, and its not easy, but Christ payed for most of it. We just have to do our part. I KNOW families are made to be together for forever. They are meant to last. Don't give up. Hold tight to the rod and keep going. Do what you need to do to live righteously. Repent. That's for everyone including me. We can all do so much more. We can be so much better. Live everyday like it is your last because you don't know when it really will be. So, just be awesome and do what you should.
Yeah.
Also, now is time for ya'll to help. Any ideas for activities that you have done and were a wonderful success, we are all ears! Any ideas for how we can help the member have more excitement for the work and to love one another? If you have any ideas for any of these things, let me know! Thank you!!!
Also, I just want everyone to know that this is the truth. God lives and loves us. The Book of Mormon is true. The church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is Christs church on the earth. The gospel is true. And I know families are forever. If they weren't, theres no point! Show them you love them! And know that I love you!!
Tengan un bonito día y disfruten cada momento!!! Les AMO!!!!!!!
