Hermana Wendy's baptism!
June 8, 2015
Well... every week I try, but I just cannot express how great it is to be a missionary. I love it. I love it so much and love losing myself in the service of the Lord.
This week was AWESOME. Like
all of them haha.... but, Hermana Wendy got baptized! What a party! It was so
humbling and so exciting to see her conversion in her decision. One thing she
said in her testimony... "I’m grateful that my Heavenly Father has brought
me here." So true. We are just spoiled as missionaries to get to be a part
of His work.
My new companion is Hermana
CORONA de Mexico!! woot! Another Mexicana.... sticking with the Latina streak
my whole mission haha... But she is awesome. I told her she was a hipster, and
she said in English. NO. A hipster is a hippie nerd. I’m not a hipster.
hahah... but she is pretty dang awesome. I love working with her and we have
already had way too many laughs. But seen a lot of great things
happening.
Also we have a new
investigator named Luisa that is a reference of a member we are close with. She
is coming to church and is from Jaen! So that was fun. We have just been
talking about the plan of salvation, but I have come to realize how powerful
the simple truths are. That yeah, we are children of god and have a divine
purpose. She is doing great and really has the desire to learn.
Besides that Peru and Reque
are still the same. We tried to visit a menos activo new convert and they were
all drinking. Slammed the windows shut and ran into the back of their house
when we knocked on the door... hahah. And we didn’t hear anything... nah.
But, we laughed pretty hard. Too bad everybody has their own agency.
I was reading about the
life of Christ and of Mary and Martha... and how its says she forgot herself in
the work. I really feel like I’m coming to that point. The language,
companions, the people, members, everything. I just feel so happy and so
blessed to have the opportunity to serve... nothing else really matters. What a
great opportunity we all have to lose ourselves in this work. Nothing
greater.
Love you all, thanks for
your prayers and support! Have a great week!
