Baptism!
September 28, 2015
Highlights...
The lunar
eclipse!! I had on my calendar that it was a super moon, but when I saw it was
an eclipse last night I yelled in the street and we watched it on the roof. I
love the moon.
Antonio
got baptized... a guy Hermana Yucra was teaching before I got here but we
passed to the elders! Super fun
Womens
broadcast. I loved every word so much. The lord answers prayers.
Besides
that it was kind of a long week, the start of spring and lots of sun and
rejection haha... got to love the mission.
We had a
great investigator named Flor who is catholic and married into a family of
Mormons. She has heard the missionaries forever, so we have just been trying to
find her need and what is impeding her. We felt impressed to talk about the apostasy,
and turns out she didn’t quite understand it and thought the catholic church
had authority and other things... so with all the love we could, we talked
about the restoration. She got mad, then asked, "and what’s going to
happen when you die and find out that all this isn’t true?” I bore my testimony
and the spirit witnessed so strong that that would NOT happen. That this is the
truth restored and the plan of God. It was hard to lose her, she cried and told
us not to come back.... I just wish I could do more sometimes.
But
besides that we have a couple families that are going well. On Saturday we
started a game of excuses and if you guessed the excuse correctly that the
péople behind doors we knocked would say, you would get a point. It was pretty
fun because everyone kept saying "I’m cooking" or I’m catholic"
like the last 10 months of my mission haha...
But I
love it. What a great opportunity it is to represent Jesus Christ every hour of
everyday. Even though at times I don’t do very well, He loves me just the same.
I’m so grateful for the tears and the hard times to learn and overcome. This
cita (quote) from the conference stuck out to me.
Live.
Learn. Overcome.
What a
great adventure we are all on.
Love you
all!
