Buenos dias,
This week
was great! I was worried because last week due to 4th of July, they moved
our Pday to Wednesday so I was scared it was going to affect the lessons we
teach but I prayed my butt off and God helped us (por su puesto). Our
lessons were so spirit-filled, I loved it. I always feel like I'm
fulfilling my purpose as missionary when people tell me "you guys always
come when I need you." Thanks to the spirit, we can do that.
I'm so grateful for prayer and fast. On Sunday I fasted for two new
investigators and at 7 o'clock we found them! Their names are Susana and
Sarah...they're super awesome and so easy to talk to. I'm really excited
to teach them. We have an appointment with them this Saturday so pray for
them! We had a lesson with Melissa last week and I asked her how she's
been doing since her baptism. With tears in her eyes, she says, with a
shaking voice, "well...since I've been baptized...my siblings have been
meaner to me...they make fun of me that I didn't really want to get baptized
but I promise (she starts full on crying) that I really did want to get
baptized!" My heart broke for her. Even though she's 10 years
old, Satan is working on her. Life doesn't get easier after baptism,
actually I think it gets harder. The difference is that we have the light
of the Gospel and the gift of the Holy Ghost. Melissa told us that before
her baptism, when her siblings were mean to her that she would hit them but
after her baptism she felt like she couldn't do that anymore and instead she'd
pray or read the Book of Mormon. Incredible, right? We didn't even
suggest that she do that, she just knew to do it. I love it. I
truly love her and her family. Actually today they're taking us to buy
new shoes. Why? I have no idea but they want to so I guess they love us
too haha. They came to volleyball which was a success because alot of
less actives and investigators came. It was great! Volleyball is
such a celestial sport ;) Alright I can't think of anything else to
write...my mind is blank, I'm sorry. I love you all and til' next week.
