Hola! Como están a todos? This week is quite literally a blur! So, I'll try my best to remember!
Alabanza's
Alabanza's means praises in Spanish. So, one day we were out knocking and stopping by some friends when we felt prompted to knock this house that had music blasting and people walking up, so we went too. There was a lady in front of the house that said they were doing Alabanza's and invited us in. As we went in, I automatically felt a shift and a change in the spirit. I looked around and saw these people crying and quite literally screaming feeling horrible for their sins and wanting to be saved and forgiven but knew not where to find it. I saw people who didn't understand the atonement of Jesus Christ. I felt sad for them. We didn't stay long; we walked out and left our card. We were both silent for a little bit because of the change of the spirit that kinda shook us both. I had a better idea of how the spirit works with the atonement. I was so grateful for my own personal relationship with Jesus Christ. My eyes were opened to see how others don't understand the atonement and how others feel as though they can't completely be forgiven. The atonement is real. As a missionary I've learned that so much and this experience solidified it for me. That Jesus Christ can and does take my sins away when I sincerely repent in the right way. This experience quite literally changed my life.
Milagro
Our area has been struggling as far as friends keeping commitments and progressing, so it's been a major grind this transfer but miracles are still out there and this one was kinda funny. So, we went to stop by a referral that lived in like this boujee apartment complex that we definitely weren't supposed to be in, so we go up to the third floor of this complex and as we turn the corner to the apartment we were looking for, there was a big dog. I stopped as I turned the corner and saw the dog cuz I didn't know if it was nice, and I've definitely been chased by dogs before and I wasn't about to do that in a complex I wasn't technically allowed in. Luckily the dog was nice, and her name was Remy. She had tags so we called the owner and he said he was an hour away and so to just put her back in his apartment on the back porch we were like welp ok! The owner was very nice, and we left a card in his door with our number and thanking him for giving us the cool opportunity to serve him. Didn't think much of it until this morning WE GOT A TEXT SAYING "Hey! I got your note! What church are y'all from? I've been looking for one since I moved here" JAW ON THE FLOOR. We were so hyped. Remy is our miracle.
Ya that's about it. Pray for our friends that they can keep commitments! I love this gospel and I'm grateful for the Lord's hand in my life. And I'm grateful to be an instrument in the hands of a loving Heavenly Father!
God is good.
Jesus is love.
