Semana 22 - Deciembre 2014
Taco Count for the Week: 5
Total Taco Count 236
Just yesterday I was writing in my journal about how this week has
been a week of miracles=)
So here it is...
My Week of Miracles
Miracle no. 1
Before I left Mazatlan, before I knew I would be switching areas I was
fasting for one of our investigators.
I´m not sure if you remember the story of Bigotes?
Well it´s him=)
We had already taught him ALL the lessons,
he was coming to church regularly,
he believed EVERYTHING we were teaching him,
but he... "hadn´t received his answer"
and he didn´t want to be baptized until he had
received his answer.
I was fasting with him to help him receive his answer.
When I left, he was out of town and I was never able to stop by
to see what happened.
This past week after planning, H. Ruiz sent me a message
telling me that he had received his answer and that his baptism is this Friday! I immediately broke into tears!=)
Miracle no. 2
We received a new rule as Sisters in the mission that we can´t
contact anyone of the opposite sex.
President told us that he was impressed to put this new rule with
us and promised us that it would help us find the families that
are searching for the gospel in their life.
The next day we had the ENTIRE day booked solid!!!
We went to the first lesson... nobody.
The second... nobody.
The third...
the fourth...
the fifth...
NOBODY!!
We passed by all the houses of members all of the future investigators.
NO.BOD.YYYY!
We were walking in circles.
With our luck, the only people that were in the streets were men!
We couldn`t even contact!
So we started walking... haha
We finally ran into someone and introduced ourselves.
She wanted absolutely nothing to do with us!
Almost in desperation I asked if she knew anyone else that we
could share this message with.
She pointed at a door and told us to go visit them.
I asked if she knew what their name was...
She had no idea hahaha
We passed by anyway!
A women answered the door and once again we introduced
ourselves and asked if we could share something with her.
She was hesitant at first but invited us in to sit down.
We started to talk to her husband as she got us a glass of water.
One by one each of her kids came and joined us.
A complete family ready and anxious to listen to our message!
The lesson that we had with this family is by far the most spiritual
lesson I have had in my entire mission!
Every single one of us were in tears!
The spirit was there the second we walked through the door,
and I know that it stayed with them even until after we left. =)
Miracle no. 3
We have been working with a young family that has wanted
to go to the temple.
They have spent so much time passing through so many
different struggles!
Just a few weeks ago the mom broke down to us,
explaining how she just wanted to go to the temple... that it
was something good!!! She didn´t understand how a
goal so good could be so hard to accomplish.
Last Sunday she called to see if we could pass by.
When we got there she was jumping around the house telling us that
they were going to the temple this weekend!=)
We got a call from her everyday with a new question=) haha
The whole ward went to the temple this weekend and we didn´t
see them until Sunday at church.
When they walked in and sat down... The ENTIRE chapel was filled with the spirit!
Husband, Wife, and their one-year-old little baby.
They were glowing the whole day=)
Hermana Iniestra and I turned to each other when we both saw them...
both of us in tears!
She bore her testimony and expressed the love and joy that
she was able to feel in house of the Lord.
Despite all the challenges that she went through she knew it was all
part of the plan=)
I have learned more than anything this week that
this is the work of the LORD!!!
it´s in HIS time frame.
It´s something so simple, yet I seem to forget it every so often.
Sometimes the answers don´t come when we want them to, and certainly not when we expect them to! But they always come=)
He has a plan.
We are His children.
We aren´t just walking...
We´re walking with purpose.
Put your faith in Him.
I love you all=)
