HELLO FROM
THE JUAREZ HOOD!!!!!!!!!
Once a Sutton
always a Sutton!!! (We are running
around like crazies, talking to everyone and not having a moment to
spare!!) BUT WE ARE LOVING
IT!!!!!!!!!!!! This week was a super
super super quick one!! We have no idea
what happened; I think that maybe Heavenly Father put on the fast forward
button!! WHAT IS HE THINKING???? ;)
hahaha I wish it would slow down a
bit!! But we are doing great and
enjoying the wonderful weather of winter without a coat!!! (knock on
wood....) As for the happenings of this
week...
We started
out with an amazing experience with Carlos; we went to teach him about
Jesus Christ and Father in Heaven. (The
basics are the key!) We went through the
lesson and he was loving it all, he was sharing some amazing experiences and
wow, it really was great! To end the
lesson he said the prayer and it honestly was one of the most powerful prayers
I have ever heard. He was literally
talking to our Father in Heaven. He
said, "I know that you know me, I have seen your miracles in my life.....
but I want to know you. Help me to
be more worthy to know you personally so that we can work together as a
team." ISN'T THAT THE
SWEETEST!!!!!!! He really is such a
great guy!! We are working lots and lots
with him and we are seeing progress!!! :)
We also are
starting to teach all of the members the missionary lessons! (I am not sure if I already mentioned
that....) but this week we went and taught the bishop and his wife!! WOW - WHAT A POWERFUL EXPERIENCE!!! They are both amazing, ex-missionaries, and
leaders for the ward! But it really was
something special to be there with them and know how they gained their
testimonies. They are examples to us;
the bishop is a convert of about 5 years and couldn’t be stronger!!! We are blessed to be in their ward!
On Friday it
rained.... A LOT!!!!!!!!! We had planned
to have a ward activity at the church, but sadly all the rain came about 30
minutes before the activity! (SAD
DAY!!!) We still had the activity, but just
with the few members and investigators there!
It was fun!! We had a competition
of TAZAS DE TE....Oh dang I forgot the word... like little mugs for tea!
hahahahaha - maybe a tea set??? hahahah
BUT IT WAS FUN AND EVERYONE HERE HAS OLD TAZAS SO IT WAS FUN TO SEE THEM
ALL AND GET TO KNOW EVERYONE BETTER!!!
Yesterday we
had an amazing meeting with the President!! Wow it is true that God answers our prayers; my companion and I have been praying to
know how to help our ward better and to become the best missionaries that we
can, and we both felt the whole time that he was talking to us!! We got back to our house at night and we both
were pretty much in tears because we saw the hand of the Lord in our lives so literally!!
I know I am not even beginning to explain the whole experience BUT IT
WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are a few
scriptures that the President shared
with us!!! (I know how much you love to
read scriptures ;) DYC 93:1, ISAIAH 40:
29-31 , JEREMIA 1:5
But there you
go for my ramble ramble of the week!!!
We are doing great as always and learning more and more every day!! I can testify to all of you that we truly
have a
Father in Heaven that loves us and He ANSWERS OUR
PRAYERS!!!!!! I know I am a daughter of God, and even though I am crazy and so
imperfect and sleep talk at night HE
LOVES ME FOR BEING ME!! AND YOU GUYS FOR
BEING YOU! REMEMBER HIM ALWAYS!!!
WITH LOTS AND
LOTS OF JUAREZ LOVE!!
