Well family
this last week has been a great week. We had conference which was so
incredible. I am so excited that Jess can leave on a mission soon. She will be
such a light to the world!! She is right now but as a missionary? Cool beans!!
There is no other word for it.
This week we
had some miracles happen. We have been struggling with helping investigators
progress but this week we contacted a family. It was a mom with two daughters.
When I saw her something was trying to tell me not to talk to her. So I did.
And she and her family just glowed with the light of Christ. And when we asked
if we could pass by and share a message with her she accepted right away. I
assumed she was a member or something. But no. We got to the first lesson and
she has never shared with missionaries. She said she had been to some other
churches but she did not like it. Well, we taught her about prophets and
apostasy. She understood and knew what we said was true because the spirit
touched the Light of Christ that she has. Then she told us a story that shocked
me. When she was just a little girl both of her parents died at the same time
from cancer. She said that she would like to know why and where they are. Well
that put tears into my eyes knowing that we have the answer that she has been
searching for her whole life. We testified that God does have a plan. We have
another lesson with her today. Her name is Lupe and she has two daughters - one
who is ten, Rayen, and one who is like three or four. Her husband left her and
she just lives with her sisters and some of them also are interested. I have
never seen someone so humble and loving. She just beams with light and I know
she will be able to recognize the truthfulness of this message. I love them so much
and all the hard times and failure in the work and in my own life have paid off
to be able to finally be guided to people who really need the gospel in their
lives.
Also, the
husband of a member finally let us teach him and he is progressing very well.
We are happy and I hope sooo much that Lupe and her daughter get baptized.
Please pray for them!! Thanks for your prayers. I am so grateful for the
atonement, that even me, one of the most imperfect things on this planet can
receive forgiveness to be able to help others with the gospel.
I love you all
and Jess turn in your papers and come on down to Chile to the mission
celestial!!! Tee hee!!
