THIS
WEEK WAS
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A little bit different because I wasn`t in my area very much but well,
everything worked out in the end!!!
Let`s
start with Wednesday.... I went and did
interchanges with a sister who is from Idaho (she actually is cousins with Mr.
MUMFORD!!!) crazy huh??! It was super
fun and well, it felt good to speak a little bit of English; I need to practice
more... ;) But I went to her area, which
is only like 20 minutes away and worked all Wednesday. Then
on Thursday morning, we and all the sisters from the Colonies went to Juarez!!!
(I know what you are thinking... another
trip to Juarez.... but yup!!!) I am
starting to become friends with the bus drivers!!! Maybe they will give me a discount! hahahaha ;) But we got to Juarez in the evening and I had
a meeting with the President and the other sister training leaders and then, WE
GOT TO STAY THE NIGHT IN THE SUPER NICE HOTEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt like I was in Heaven!!!! :)
hot
shower....
big
bed....
maid
service....
continental
breakfast....
and
the hotel is orange....
Anything
better than that??? I THINK
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then
on Friday morning we had a meeting with ALL the sisters in the mission, and it went
really well! I spoke about the
importance of exercise and also leading music!!!! It went really great!! It was fun to be with all the sisters :)
As
for our baptism! IT WENT
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Everything ran smooth
the members were there and we even had an investigator
there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) (I will send you some pictures!!!) But wow, every baptism I just can`t help but
think of the amazing day of dads baptisms!!! What a day that will mark history for our
family :) It is such a joy to see people
change their lives because they want to come unto Christ! This is why we are here in this life!!! IT IS
THE BEST FEELING EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
So
about the investigator that came to the baptism.... Her name is Silvia and we met her about 3 weeks ago. Her husband died about a year ago and she has
3 little kids. She has just been
searching for peace and hasn't found it anywhere. She is super nice and we have a really good
relationship with her but she has had a schedule really crazy with her work
these past weeks and so we have only been able to teach her like 2 times.... :(
We thought - why not invite her and see
if she wants to come. So we called her
Saturday morning and told her about the baptism and she said OF COURSE!! (crazy huh??)
So
as we walked into the church (early of course to get everything ready) she was
THERE WAITING!!!!!!!!!!! She was so
excited to come she just came early!!! hahaha So yeah, everything happened at the baptism
and all that good stuff... and well the next day at church - she was there
too!!!!!!!!!!!! (Remember we have not
taught her really!!!) hahaha Last night
we went to visit with her to see how her experiences were and she just looked
at us and started to cry... She told us
the only thing that she could think of during the baptism is that she wanted to
be the one being baptized. She asked us what
she needed to do to be baptized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CAN
YOU BELIEVE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????????????? Yes we
were all bawling; the spirit was so strong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MIRACLES HAPPEN!!!!!!!!!! I AM A WITNESS OF THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I
KNOW THAT THE LORD LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I KNOW THAT JUST LIKE SILVIA, WE ALL TOO MAY FIND PEACE AND
HOPE IN THIS LIFE, EVEN IF WE HIT BUMPS IN THE
ROAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE
LORD IS THERE TO GUIDE US AND PUT IN
OUR PATH WHAT WE NEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have
a wonderful week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HERMANA
SUTTON
P.S. - I LOVE
YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
