Hey everyone!
Well, we were
able to confirm Hna. Sabina on Sunday, so all went well. She really
could feel the Spirit and we can see the huge change that she's felt in
her life.
This week I've been working hard on praying at all
moments. While walking, teaching, preparing, everything. I've really
felt a difference in the presence of the spirit. It really comes every
time I ask for His company and for dirrection. It's definitely going to
be a wonderful change in the amount of revelation that I can recive for
my investigators.
We're running into a lot of road blocks with our
investigators as of late. There's a lot of things that are keeping them
from progressing, unfortunately. One pair isn't married and the papers
are in remote corners of Huamachuco (even though they really want to get
married and baptised). One was the best friend of a priest in the ward,
but his parents didn't five him permission to be baptised. Another find
other work that will leave Sunday open to go to church... I feel a bit
frustrated with all of the obstacles that we can't seem to jump. But
we'll keep working and trying to help them find a way to come to Christ
and we'll keep looking for more people who are ready to come to Christ.
We also ended up without a Pensionista this month.
That's a bit worrying for us. So we have today covered by a member who
can feed us once or twice, but after that...
Well, we're
working hard. We've asked the whole ward and even some non members and
everyone has said no. We'll just keep praying and hoping things work
out...
And we don't have a kitchen, so we can't exactly cook for ourselves, but we'll figure it out....
So
during fast and testimony meeting, I really felt touched by the
testimonies of the members who talked about their conversions and about
missionary work. It was just amazing to me the impact that missionaries
and their message left on the lives of these people. There really aren't
many things that someone can give that affects a life every day. One of
the Sisters talked about when the missionaries came to her over 50
years ago, and the story still brought tears to her eyes. It's just
amazing thinking about how greatly this message affects the lives of
those who accept it. I guess it really renewed my energy to work hard to
help other come to Christ. I honestly can't give much that will bring
tears of joy to the eyes of someone 50 years from now, but here in the
mission is probably my best chance to bless the lives of others. And not
just for 50 years, but for all eternity.
I just take, but the Gospel of Jesus Christ keeps giving every day
of your life and for all of eternity. It's amazing to share this with
others and see it work in their lives. I hope everyone can feel the
profound blessings that they recieve by being members of this church.
And don't forget to go to Conference prepared to recieve revelation and answers to your questions!
Love you all! Take Care!
