Emailing is
sometimes very long, but it is pretty great! This week was a great
one! We were able to see miracles on top of miracles!
It all started on
Tuesday after emailing, we got a little caught up in programs even though it
was P-Day. We had just stacked programs from 4 on. The highlight of
the night was meeting again with an amazing man. Two weeks ago, due to the
beginning of the year being a little more slow, we didn't have as many people
at English Class. I met one of the coolest guys ever, Z. He is a
family man who heard about our English Class a while ago and wanted to try it
out.
After starting the
English Class, he opened up a bit and we just started talking because he was
the only one who showed up for the advanced class. We just talked about
our families and we shared our backgrounds. It was such a great
opportunity to get to know him.
After a while, the
topic shifted over to missionary work, naturally. He wanted to know why I
was here and what I wanted out of my experience. He was touched and we
finished the class with Moroni's promise for the spiritual message. Well,
this last Tuesday he came back! I asked him at the end if we could visit
his family and he accepted!
He has such an
adorable family. He has a little boy who was dressed up as Spiderman and
I was able to show a picture of my nephew dressed up as Spiderman I so happened
to have with me. The little boy looked at it and was like, "Look
mom! He's like me!"
After to getting to
know one another, we were able to gather the two boys, Z and his wife together
and sing "When there's love at home." The spirit filled the
room and the 2 boys listened intently. It was a moment I won't
forget. At the end, we shared our testimonies of our Heavenly Father and
planned with them to come back later. It is moments like this that answer
my questions of why I am where I am. MIRACLES
After that, we were
able to really help 2 families that are on baptismal date through the
members! We have been able to work with these amazing people for a while,
but they have had a hard time finding confidence in their knowledge, because
their baptisms are coming up soon. We brought some members to simply
share their conversion stories for a spiritual message and it seemed as though
the people opened up and created some bonds with these church members they have
hardly talked to. It was fantastic.
Miracles are
happening here and I am just so happy. Life and time is flying by too
fast, but I am enjoying every moment of my mission. I am where I need to
be, and that is a great comfort. The gospel is true and there are only
more great things to be had next week.
Smile this week
everyone and make some memories!
