Woah now this week flew!! And it got up to a cool 99 degrees ladies and gents! I am SWEATING. But don't worry I'm drinking plenty of water and plenty of XL 99 cent Dr pepper. All is well.
Suns out guns out.
This week went quick! We have been working with a ton of inactive members and it's been super cool to see our efforts be magnified by the Lord but it's only possible through faith. I had a thought pop into my mind about reaching out to an inactive family who we tried to get in contact with in April. And right when I was going to text the Hermana, she texted me! She said she was sorry for not reaching out sooner and that she wanted us to start teaching her 3 unbaptized kids. I was like WUTTTTTT SO COOL!! We are now teaching the family and they are all praying as a family about a baptismal date for their 3 kids! Ah so cool!! And the best part was that they came to the ward Father's Day party and church!! Woot woot! Prayers up for the Moreno family!
Milagro!
I was able to go on an exchange this week with my roommate! Her name is sis milla, milla dawg, or that's what I call her, and she is the best! She came to Spanish land, and we went out to stop by more inactives. We prayed and picked a few people to stop by. Every single house we knocked on that day let us in, and we had a lesson and got a return appointment. It was the coolest thing ever. In one of the lessons, we met the fattest cat ever named Nina and she was the funniest chunkiest cat I've ever seen! Ah exchanges are so good!
Fiesta!
Sooo Latinos know how to partay! We had a Father's Day fiesta Friday night and 3 of our friends came which was so good! We had a Hermana sing to her husband, a recent convert rap, and a lot of tacos but it was so fun! We even got light up glasses. They even tried to get hna b to sing but hna b doesn't sing so luckily, she got out of that one! It was cool though to see our friends there!! Members are the way!
Iglesia milagro
We had a sick church miracle! We invited so many of our friends to church literally all of them! And none of them came but 3 random people came which was SICK!! We were able to get their contact information and set some stuff up! One of them was named Jorge and we were able to teach him right after church! It was super spirit led, one of the most spirit led lessons I've ever had in my mission. We taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ and invited him to ask God if this church was true and I love testifying of my Savior! As a missionary, I try to testify in every contact, but it doesn't always come with grande power but during this lesson I felt the angels backing me up and the tears were streaming down my face as the spirit testified of Jesus Christ through my mouth. It was so amazing! I felt the love that Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father had for our friend Jorge, and he is now praying to know if this church is true.
I love Jesus Christ; he is our advocate. He is my WHY. I'm not gonna lie, there have been times on my mission where it has been so hard to focus on my WHY or where I've forgotten my WHY but that's where the spirit comes in and I remember that it's not about me, it's not about my friends it's not about my companion, it's about Jesus Christ. Our why always needs to be Jesus Christ. I've been learning that these past 8 months and it's changed my life. If you can't figure out your WHY, go to the scriptures, to sacrament, go to your knees. I promise that you will be able to find your WHY.
God is good.
Jesus Christ is love.
