HELLO!!!
Let's just say I am filled with sooooooooo much joy I can't
even explain it! I have been so incredible
Last week I think I was kind of wishy washy. There are a lot
of feelings I'm discovering in these days haha. But this week, everything
changed, starting with Monday in the evening. I felt maybe a little
discouraged. I was reflecting on word of my mission President and didn't feel
super confident with what I read. As now, reflecting again on his words, I see
that they were beyond inspired and exactly what I needed. Anyway, that night I
decided to say a very heart felt prayer to my heavenly father. Really begging
and pleading for the help I needed. But as I have learned, I mentioned that it
wasn't what I wanted but what HE wanted.
The next morning I was ready to work! And that's what
we did all week. Work work and more work. We found new investigators and almost
all accepted a baptismal date. We had 3 days straight of intercambios so that
got a little heavy. Also I had my last of many things: leadership council and
zone training. It was such a wonderful opportunity to share my testimony in
these settings. I can see that really my testimony has grown so much. Such a true
blessing. The holy Ghost seriously just does incredible things!
And now the last thing to write that makes me feel like I'm
on cloud 9.
There is a recent convert family...the Family Cruz Aguilar.
The dad Isaias was baptized first then 3 months later Coral (in September) and
the twins were baptized. The only one left is Fernanda. Well, we have invited
her many times and have done many things to help her make the decision to be
baptized. After talking with her very directly we were able to put the baptism
date 11 de Marzo. she accepted. There were many good signs showing her interest
in being baptized this last week (keep in mind she never wanted to. Always said
"No it's because I don’t want to" also she is 13) BUT Last night we
passed by and Coral said "Hermana we have news" I was a little
confused and then....here comes the best part...she said, "Fernanda has
decided to be baptized!" WOWOWOWOW!!! seriously this is a true MIRACLE!
Fernanda has never said yes. I cried from the joy I felt and man I can't believe
it. miracles are real. I know it. I'm so grateful with my Heavenly Father
for helping me and for helping Fer. I'm grateful for the inspired words my
president wrote me last week because those words helped me say this heartfelt
prayer. I'm grateful for Coral and Isaias and the twins for being faithful in
the church. I'm grateful for every single missionary that has had contact with
Fernanda. God uses us as his hands and miracles are brought to pass by the work
of many. He used many people in this miracle and I know that God LOVES ME AND
EVERY SINGLE PERSON! Wow. I'm so happy
LIFE IS GOOD MY FRIENDS!!! I love missionary work and I love
God more than words can describe. Thanks for all you do for me!! LOVE YOUUUU!!!
