Hola familia!
Hey there! How's it going?? Sounds like it's
been super cold!! This morning we played ultimate frisbee and it was 50 degrees
and all of us were on the verge of tears we were so cold!! I
think I've acclimated to Arizona weather.... February is going to be rough
for me haha:) This email is going to be a short one, because we're headed
down to Queen Creek to do some goodbyes for Chavs and Lana, since they're
leaving me next Tuesday. Sad day:( so we have to email fast so we can get
shopping done and have enough time to see all the people they want to say bye
to.
But this week was good! We taught quite a bit and
saw some good progress with a few investigators. Darren is so awesome and he is
very interested in learning more! We met two of his roommates too this week who
want to hear the lessons and go to church as well! That was un milagro because
we've been struggling to find new investigators this past transfer. We're
confronting the same slight setbacks with him as we did with Tony in the
beginning because of the slight language barrier. But it is such a good
experience to teach someone with little or no religious background and have a
language barrier, because the goal is to teach simply in a way they will
understand, and more importantly in a way the Spirit can touch their hearts.
Darren is so humble and willing to learn, and he has a sincere desire to know
if God is real.
Vanessa has been more consistent than ever! She
couldn't come to church yesterday because it was the Phoenix Temple Dedication
(SO COOL!!!), but she has been making a great effort to read and pray everyday,
and met with us a lot this week. Ever since that priesthood blessing she
received from Hno. Maynez, she has been doing so good. She is a witness to me
that priesthood power is real, that it has been restored to the earth to bless
God's children and bring us back to Him. We are so blessed to have worthy
priesthood holders that can do miracles by the power to act in God's name.
Priesthood holders, do not take for granted your responsibility to serve and
bless others around you! Do everything you can to remain worthy so you can have
the opportunity to act as God's instruments to bless his children.
I can't think of any other significant things that
happened this week with our investigators...besides Edna. She came to the choir
concert we had last night and we got to talk to her afterwards and she opened
up to us. She is really struggling again. She feels a lot of sadness and pain
from her dad's death. We listened to her and just testified to her of the Plan
of Salvation. She is awesome and if she just starts doing the simple things
again, she will find peace and happiness:)
I'll give you more updates next week.
Oh! Please pray for the Flores family. They are
recent converts, and we are teaching their 10 year old daughter, Valeria. Satan
is working really hard to pull them down right now. They are awesome but are
having a lot of different, crazy trials. Just pray that they will have the
strength to continue doing the things they need to do in order to be sealed in
the temple next year.
I LOVE YOU ALL SO SO SO much! Have an amazing
week!
LES QUIERO!!
