How are you all doing?!?! Thank you for the emails and the birthday wishes :) love you!!
Wow, thank you for sharing your experiences with me and also about the temple dedication. And wow, dad and mom you went to two session? How cool!!
Well today I want to share a couple of experiences I had this past week.
Monday I read the new era sept 2013 and then we went out to work and we had this very interesting experience. We went to contact a reference at about 7:30 and this woman comes out and starts screaming and why were we here so late and that they were trying to sleep and so many things, I was pretty scared. We were like oh we're so sorry we'll come back another time. And after we finished I well basically wanted to cry but then I remembered what I had read about Charity earlier that day...
10 secrets of true popularity: Charity is not easily provoked. Once, a teacher made a comment that hurt my feelings. Rather than reacting, I asked her if she was having a hard day. She admitted that she was and then apologized. Those comments had come from her personal problems and had nothing to do with me.
And I was so grateful that I had read that earlier that day to prepare me for that night. Charity is not easily provoked. And maybe that woman had a bad day and like she said she had to get up early.... but really a couple days later the other hermanas told us that a lady was talking to them and told them this experience and how the lady that day had lost a relative close to her. Really we never know what is happening in the lives of other people. Though I am no where close to having Charity I am so grateful for little and big experiences that help me to become a better person, and really Heavenly Father is watching out for each one of us.
This past week we found a couple news and we had an appointment with one, Andres, on Saturday. So we went to his house and I could not remember anything about him, but he answered the door and said we could pass but there wasn't another woman, so we went to the church and a sister accompanied us and we talking about the gospel of Christ, and he was so open to everything! Though he did not accept a date :( he.... came to church the next day!!! And we have a cita with him tomorrow! He is so great!
And yesterday we were walking to contact a reference and in the mission, if you don't have a set appointment... talk to everyone! And I have seen so many miracles with this! And we saw this family outside and started to talk to them. At first they weren't very open and didn't want to talk but if felt like I knew them, and my companion too, so we kept talking to them and teaching them, and by the end they accept that we could pass by again, and it really was amazing! I am so grateful for all the many things that are happening and strengthening my testimony that this really is the Lords work and we are here helping him, he is with us!!
The weeks are going by so fast, and really I am so grateful to be here and to be serving my Savior. Thank you family for all that you do for me! I love you all soooooooo much!!! Have a great week!!!
Love,
Hermana Louder
