Mondays are starting to become miracle days. Hna Pettit always
sits next to a Spanish speaker and we have gotten a few numbers, a new investigator
and we gave out a Book of Mormon! So it’s kinda fun :) nothing yet today, but
we have time.
I went to the Holocaust Museum today with my companion of course,
but also with Rolando! It was so incredible and horrible at the same time. We
talked a lot about his baptism which is on Sunday!! We are so excited and it’s
going to be an amazing day! You'll get lots of pictures next week! :)
Seyda and Arturo are doing well. We have taught Seyda the first
two lessons and now her husband is a lot more interested and wants to know more.
They both have really good questions and that's how you can tell that they want
to know. That and they look themselves for the answers by doing what we ask.
Comps :) |
Tuesday was pretty great as well. We had district meeting and then
Spanish Forum. We got a lot done and learned a bunch, and we had so much fun as
we did it all. So many jokes and funny moments and even more spiritual ones. It
was the perfect combination. Our district is so tight and united, there's a
reason that by the end of February we will have had 5 baptisms!
The Three Amigos in DC |
Good news, my full gringa accent is gone! Now I sound like a
Gringa that knows what she's saying. Also, I picked up my trainer's accent, which
I guess is pretty common. President and all 8 of the Little River ward
missionaries ate tacos with Hermana Rodriguez. We gave the little girl Anel a nickname...vanilla,
but she said she wanted to be called strawberry
because she doesn't like vanilla! Haha.
because she doesn't like vanilla! Haha.
Turns out that Rolando isn't sick of us yet and wants the two of
us to give the talks at his baptism....great. Haha, it'll be fun, but we tried
to get him to pick members and it didn't work. That night we had him come with
us to a lesson and he helped us teach. Also he brought one of our investigators
to church for us yesterday.
It's For Fun |
It was a perfect week for exchanges, so once again I went to Old
Town to be in a trio with one of the Sister Training Leaders and her trainee.
But then she went to the temple with one of her recent converts, so I stayed
with Hermana Atkinson and she had her first experience in a duo. It was super
fun and we saw miracles in their area. Miracles always happen on exchanges, it’s
the best! We had to stay up a little later to wait for Hermana Debry to get
back, so we did some facebook proselyting and I have been able to start talking
to and teaching some of my friends from home. It’s incredible to see how now
with my calling, the effect I have is bigger and the fear I once had is
completely gone.
We have a new investigator who has dreams. That's fine. But he
thinks that they are revelations and visions. He asked us if there was a leader
of the church that would be willing to read his mind, discern his dreams and
interpret and record them. Unfortunately we don't provide those services. I am
so grateful for the knowledge that I have of a prophet who leads and guides the
church and that he is the only person in the world that can receive revelation
for all of God's children.
New Driver |
Hermana Pettit and I have started to see even more miracles
through our daily follow up. As we text and remind people to read in the Book of
Mormon and to come to church they have seen the love that we have for them.
There are many that we didn't have their complete or any part of their
addresses, so it was all that we could do. We tried many times to ask for their
addresses and they never came. But then this week we have received 2 addresses
of less active members and it has been so great! We really do love them so much
:) She is now driving...so apparently for the ticket that I got, my driving
privileges have been suspended until the end of the transfer...so until
February 19. Haha, oops.
Victor prayed out loud with us for the first time last night, so it’s
sufficient to say that they are progressing. They have learned so much and have
so many good questions and it makes it easy to talk to and teach them. I'm just
loving all of the miracles that I have seen and will continue to see and I know
there is so much more to come in my life as well as
all of yours. Keep moving forward!
all of yours. Keep moving forward!
Love and miss you!
