This week was pretty great! Lots of work. The Ramons are progressing a lot! the 14th they should be getting baptized. Whohoo!
This week I learned that it is so important to bless your house. Priesthood is super powerful. I will explain more one day....Anyways....
I have new scripture cases!! They are exciting! One is like an elder and the other a sister! one of the members here makes them. I will send picutres.
I seriously cant remember what happened this week. All I know is that I was just here writing yesterday, but really it was a week ago. But im sure it was yesterday....
OH! Also, I have a goal to finish reading the Book of Mormon in spanish before conference. Its quite eventful. Reading The Book of Mormon with a purpose is so much better. Its like, Why do you go to work? For a purpose. So, reading this precious book should be the same. I have been looking for all the MANY times it talks about Christ, his atributes, His Doctrine, and recently added, the restoration. Somedays it just has the words that I needed for comfort, other days, to whip me into shape. Always what I need though, and even better, What the people we teach need! Its a powerful book. Read it everyday!!!
The other day we were walking to a lesson, and I really needed the bathroom. We were walking past a lady sweeping, and I felt the need to contact her, unfortunately, my need for the bathroom outweighed that thought. But not my companion! So, we contacted her and learned a little about her life. She was a single mom and didnt have work. We offered to say a prayer with her and gave her a Book of Mormon. The second time we went back, SHE FOUND WORK!!! She was so excited and explained that when we left she thought, "well, maybe this WILL work." and it did. BUT, she works sundays now.... But We have faith that it will all work out. She is great!
We also are teaching another man. Its super stressful. Elderly people that have no one to talk to are lots harder to teach because they just want to tell you everything. And I mean EVERYTHING! But, we are still trying to be patient. I am definately learning patience here. haha But, it was cool, he said he had a Book of Mormon. Its from the 80s but still the same content of course. The first lesson, he had a virgin Mary on the wall, but the second he didnt, and said, "its not good to have images right?" so, maybe he is progressing. He went to church atleast!
Um.......
Well, I hope everyone is doing well. Life is wonderful. The Church is true. Jesus is our redeemer. One day we can all live happily ever after. BUT we have to work for it.
I love you all!!!!! Have a FANTASTIC week and learn lots! Invite someone to church!! And be happy!
