It is so great to here from all of you! I always love hearing because then I know that everything is fine with you all!
This week was great!!!! So today we went to xxx because my companion needed to sign her papers and we had a little melo reunion! So we went there at like 9 and just got back.
This past week I could really feel the spirit. So we had an intercambio with the sister leaders and I was going to their area, and the bus ride was like a 45 ride. So I sat down and there was a lady next to me, and at first I didn't really pay attention and the other sister and I just started talking, but then the aisle began to fill so we couldn't talk, and I had the impression that I needed to talk to the lady. Well she was sleeping.. so I waited a bit. Then right when she woke up I turned to her and started talking and at first she didn't seem very interested, and then it started to change and I gave her a pamphlet and then wrote down her info, and then was bearing my testimony about families and that they can be forever. And I think she really felt the spirit and then was like, oh here is another number you can try to get a hold of me! And then I invited her to be baptized of course! And she asked where she had to go, and by this time it was time to get off, so I pray that the missionaries find her!!!
The very next day we had an intercambio with the zone, and Sister Young and I worked in my area. She is from texas and has been in the mission for 3 weeks! And it was amazing, I felt the Spirit so strong with her. We put all her stuff in the house and prayed and left and as we started to walk up the road I felt the small impression, no turn around and go to julio, a new we had found a while back. So I said a little prayer and we turned around. Though he wasn't there we talked to many other great people! Then we had an appointment with Alicia and she let us right in (our first lesson) and we sang and prayed and found out more about her life. And then we started to teach her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Ah it was sooooooo good. The Spirit was so strong, and we invited her to be baptized again, but said no but she wants to learn more and told us that she felt really good. We helped her realized that it was the Spirit. Then later that day we had a lesson with Pablo, and man he brought out all his doubts again. I felt so bad because hna Young is still learning Spanish so she doesn't talk much.... but we were talking and listening. I then there came a moment where I was just completely blank, and felt the Spirit and a voice say, ask hna young, just ask her. I didn't want to put her on the spot, but I turned to her and asked her. And what she shared was perfect. And she bore testimony of the BOM. After the lesson we talked about it, and she spoke a lot in that lesson. She told me that she had the impression to talk but didn't want to and then when I asked her she didn't understand what was being said or if what she was thinking would be ok at this time, but shared any way.
The next day after that Hna Dowdle and I were back together and working away and we could finally work in an area that is pretty far. So we got there and then we had to go to the bus stop so that we could go to the baptism of the other hermanas. Well something happened and the hermanas couldn't find their investigator so we kept working, but before we left my companion had a list of antiguos and we decided to pray to know who we should visit, and the people we had in common, that is who we would go to. We both had Sandra in common, and decided to try to go visit her and talk to everyone on the way. Well we turned down her street and we weren't seeing any signs or numbers so we saw two girls outside and at first my companion didn't want to go, but we decided come on lets talk! So we went up and they ran inside, ok weird. Then the mom came out and was like what? And so we were like well hello! How are you? Yes sorry to bother you we are just looking for an adress. What manzana y solar is this. And she told us and I'm sure both our jaws just fell open. And we were like in unision, oh your Sandra!! And she was like yes! and we told her that we felt like we needed to visit her! And we set an appointment for this week because she didn't have time.
Anthony is doing good, and they are going to make a date this end of the week to get baptized and he is going strong! It amazes me every time, but I know that the Lord prepared him.
I am so grateful for these experiences that I have been having with the Spirit, because it bares testimony to me, that He not I am the real teacher, as you shared with me a couple weeks ago dad. I know that as we follow these small but significant feelings or impressions the lord trusts us more and that we will always have his guidance. I love you all so much! Have an amazing week to the best family ever!!
Love,
Hermana Louder
