leen. ENTONCES para darles (los
miembros) un poco de alivio y felicidad tenia que escribir algo en
español. Y también para que sepan que
hablo de vez en cuando español. :):):) BUENAS
SUERTE!
BEFORE I
FORGET!!!!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK!!!!!!!!!!!
AND ALSO GRANDMA CARLENE
LAST WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW ME, I’M
STILL FORGETTING THINGS!!!!!!! :):):) But
I hope you all had lots and cake and ice cream and enjoyed the great big
day!!!!
IT’S SUMMER TIME
HERE IN JUAREZ!!!! AND WE ARE LOVING
IT!!!! SHORT SLEEVED SHIRTS, NO BOOTS,
AND RED FACES!!!!!!!!! NOTHING IS
BETTER!!!!!!!! We had a really busy
week; we started it all out with a nice little trip to El Centro to look for
vanilla and little fun things! We found
a little cute store that has a lot of ancient Spanish things and we became
friends with the owner, so we are hoping she will give us a great deal when we
head back next week! I wanted to ask you
mom exactly how is the vanilla. I know I
have bought it, but is it extract or about how much did it cost?? So that I can make sure to buy the kind that
you are looking for! (oh and how many?)
This week the
counselor of the area presidency (Elder
Pieper) came to visit JUAREZ! (THE
BEST MISSION EVER!) And we had a lot of
conferences that were so powerful!!!! IT
WAS AWESOME!!! We started on Tuesday
with the leadership counsel and we actually got to talk to him on a more
personal level. He is really great and I
felt like I was talking to the profet!! (I
think it counts for something right??) Right
now he and his wife are living in Mexico City, but they are originally from
Idaho - I think!! He focused a lot of
attention on the power of fasting and the miracles that he has seen in his
life, as well as the benefit we have to teach the members and investigators the
law of fast. I really related a lot to
what he was telling us because I personally have seen SOOOO many miracles in my
mission thanks to fasting! (To be honest,
before I came here I thought fasting was a punishment or something super hard!)
But I have learned that IT IS SO WORTH
IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My companion and I were talking and we think
we are going to start fasting every other day cuz it is so awesome ;) hahahaha But Elder
Pieper really helped us remember how powerful our spirits can be when we
give them the right amount of nourishment and live in the Lord’s way!
On Wednesday we
had another meeting with our zone and 2 others. It also was AWESOME!!! We focused more on the proselyting side of the
mission and the ways we can use “Preach My Gospel” better and work with the
members!
All in all it was
such a spiritually filled week! I know
that the priesthood is here on the earth today. I know that God calls men who are willing to serve
Him and help his children; I could feel the power of the words that Elder Pieper shared! There isn’t a doubt in my mind that the Lord
told him what he needed to share with us. IT’S AMAZING! And I feel so blessed to have been able to
have heard it.
Also this week we
had the most amazing experience!! SO we
have a reference that we have been trying to contact but we never seemed to
find her in her house, so we were almost at the point of calling it a contact! But one morning we stopped by this cute lady
in our wards house and she happened to mention the name of our reference. We both stopped and said, hermana do you know
who she is!?? And she said, “Well of
course, she is my family!!!” WE WERE SO
HAPPY!!!!!! She told us a little about
her and the situation. Her husband had
just passed away about 3 weeks ago and she was having a hard time. We knew that it was an answer to our prayers
to hear about her, so that same day we stopped by to see her. And well, we finally got to meet her and in
that moment she opened up completely to us. She told us about her husband and about her
parents-in-law. To find out her
mother-in-law was an active member.... Well
to make the story short, she has special dreams in where her mother-in-law
comes and talks to her! She says it is
just normal but that she feels so great when she sees her. She dreamed also that her father-in-law accepted
something that her mother-in-law had (OF COURSE WE KNOW IT IS THE GOSPEL!!!)
and she was really interested in what she needed to do to accept it also and to
be as happy as her parents-in-law!! We
really feel that she is prepared by the Lord!!!!
