This week was
absolutely epic! We saw a bunch of miracles and I am so grateful for each
and every moment I have here! I don't have too much time to share my
miracles, but I have two amazing stories to share.
The first,
Zs. Zs is an amazing girl that we met on Tuesday. On Monday night I
heard yelling outside of our apartment building at 10:45, so I
investigated of course! I opened the window to watch an angry ex-husband
throwing rocks and scream at his ex-wife. The ex-wife opened the window
and called for the police and the guy fled.
The next day, I had
the feeling to tract in that building and we found an amazing girl. She
is 26 years old and we woke her up tracting at 10 in the morning. She
told us to come back in 10 minutes, so we did! After sitting down, she
opened up and expressed how grateful she was that we were there because she had
a dream about us! The next day we went back and taught the restoration
and invited her to be baptism on April 12th and she seemed super
open!
The next story
takes place on Wednesday! We taught English class and there was a new guy
that came. He was 27 years old and was intensely listening as I shared
the spiritual message. After class, he came up to me and asked to meet.
On Friday he shared
his life story full of mistakes and wrong paths. At the end of his High
school career, he got into drugs and never finished. He came to English
class because he is trying to turn his life around. We met and bore
testimony of the power of Christ's Atonement and invited him to be
baptized. Our friend M is going to be baptized on April 12th.
I LOVE MY MISSION!
Last note, God finally answered my prayers more firmly in regards to what I need to do after my mission for studies. I have been planning for the past 4 years to become a surgeon. I always felt it would be amazing, but I never felt a confirmation. This last week I thought of all my experiences throughout my mission and life. I thought of the irony that I have always been sent to a struggling area or a weakened companion and then it dawned on me! I need to become a psychologist. This was something I never expected, but the Lord seemed very insistent in pursuing this course.
Now that I received this amazing answer, it makes me want to work even harder! The Lord has blessed me so much throughout my mission, I just can't wait for the answers He has yet to give me as I continue in this work with all my heart, might, mind and strength.
