Semana 45 - Mayo 2015

Taco Count for the Week:  21 (NEW RECORD!)

Total Taco Count:  494.50

You know how they always say that you learn more as a trainer than the trainee...

Well that rang true this week!

We had so many crazy awesome, challenging, inspiring, and difficult lessons that we learned!

But by the end of the week we were both super happy about what we ahd done, but more importantly what we had learned.

As missionaries we plant lots of little seeds!

Every day we plant and plant and plant.

Normally we aren´t around long enough to see the flowers 

bloom from these seeds.

This week we got to see a whole tree burst up from the ground!!

A few weeks ago (or maybe one week ago) I wrote about while we were in the clinic and were testifying in front of everyone that was there.

There was a special spirit that was there as we spoke.

After we left them with pamphlets, I left praying that just one of them would accept our message.

That something in our words touched their heart.

Well, Tuesday we ended back at the clinic.

This time NOBODY was there!

We waited sort of gazing out the window and saw someone pass by.

Not even a second passed and we saw her turn around and walk 

back in and ask us if the Doctor was with a patient.

We told her that she would be done soon.

As she explained to us that she just wanted to have her blood pressure 

checked quickly... I recognized her!

"You were here the other day when we passed by!"

She smiled and nodded her head. We caught up talking a little and she interrupted and said,

"I have been thinking a lot obout what you said the other day.  I have been going through a lot lately and have started seeing a psychologist.

I walked by and saw you both sitting here. 

Something told me to come back and talk to you.  

I don´t really need my blood pressure checked, I was just 

looking for an excuse.  

But, do you think you could stop by later today?"

Uhhhhhhh...... YES!!!!

So we had an amazing lesson with her and her two kids=)

She is a widow, her husband died from cancer and she has been 

looking for answers.

Her daughter went to mutual on Friday and they came to church on Sunday!

I was kind of worried because some of the topics we talked about 

were a little...well... strong. Ha.

I was hoping and praying the entire time that she wouldn´t hear something to scare her off!

But at the end of Relief Society she came up to me and asked,

"Can you stop by the house tomorrow?"

I am excited to work with them=)

I am really short on time and this is a week that I have a million stories to tell!

But I will have to leave it at this.

I was being kind of stubborn this week and wanted to do things MY way... I wanted to achieve the goals that I had set for myself.

But, I quickly realized that these were not the plans the Lord had.

Almost every lesson this week started in one lesson and ended in a 

completely different lesson.

But, each time we listened to the spirit, 

each time we changed the lesson based on the needs of the investigator, 

we left the lesson beaming!

Because we knew that we had helped them=)

Remember what it means to be a witness of God.

To always live the gospel!

You can always be a MISSIONARY=)

Just pray for the opportunity!

I love you all!
