FAMILY!
This week is
my year anniversary of going through the temple! And Guess what I got to
do? Go to the temple!! Like I said last week, a less active Hna.
Limones is receiving her endowments. We were able to go this past
Saturday and it was so spiritual. It was very different from going with
all the missionaries like we usually do.....maybe because it wasn't 6 O'clock
in the morning and I wasn't dead tired. We went at 2:30pm and as we were
waiting for the session to start and alot of members in our ward went. As
I was sitting listening to hymns being played, I couldn't help but feel the
immense influence of the spirit warm my heart. I see all the members
every sunday but it was VERY different to see them at the temple dressed in
white. They all looked so heavenly and pure. I saw them as they
really are....children of God. They're potential...everything. I
absolutely loved every moment of it...I was so grateful I was able to go to the
temple with the ward on my year mark of getting endowed. The temple
really is the house of the Lord. Go there often. Take advantage of
having one so close by. The temple is the ultimate goal and the only
place on earth we can recieve a fulness of God's blessings. Always strive
to be temple worthy....it's worth it.
This
coming Sunday is Melissa's baptism!! It's the last day of the transfer,
what a blessing, right? She is sooo ready and excited. She went to
church with the Cardenas family (fellowshippers) and during sacrament meeting
we received a text from Melissa's mom saying "we're behind you"
and my first thought was "wait were not driving..." (ok I'm an idiot
sometimes) and then I came to my senses and looked behind us and there
they were! Melissa's parents sitting in the back row!! I KNOW it
was through Melissa's example of keeping the Sabbath Day holy that her parent's
finally came to church. Example is power. Power is fueled by
faith. Faith is an action. It's so easy....a 9 year old can
understand that! The Gospel is simple, life is hard. It's cool
because this Sunday Hermana Thomas and Spencer (my ex companions) are going to
go to the baptism....they go home two days after. Crazy. That makes
it 3 of my compa's that are home. Que sad. I'll miss them. So
it's the last week of the transfer aka wonder week! We gots some good
goals and I know we're gonna reach them..I'm excited.
On
Friday we had a lesson with Cori, a recent convert and she was telling us about
how her daughter Dana loves praying. She's 2 years old and it's so cute
to hear little kids speak Spanish...I have no idea why....also I'm kind of
jealous of them because they speak better Spanish than I do...dang. Cori
was telling us that Dana was praying one night and was blessing all these
people...including my trainer Hna. Thomas (she served here for almost a year so
Dana basically knew her her whole life) and she also said "hna
luis"....Cori was realling confused and asked "your uncle luis?"
and Dana said "no mama...hermana luis!!" then Cori realized that she
was praying for me! Hermana Ruiz but she can't pronounce her R's very well so
it comes out luis. So cute, right? See if a two year old can pray, you
can too. Well that's all I have for this week. I didn't write down
any quotes...I sucked but I'll do better this week. I love you all. I
pray for you every night....I mean it.
