This week was a bit of a roller coaster...weather wise as well as work wise. It rained like crazy. Walking in the street was like trying to walk upstream the Mississippi River. Okay, maybe not that bad, but it was still quite the experience. And then half an hour later it was sunny skies and 80 degree weather again. And it was like this everyday. What.
Also, we didn`t have hot water this week. That was a little rough. But hey, it reminded me of the times Mom would make us wash off with the hose in the backyard, or when we`d go camping in the motor-home and I was the last one to shower...yep, those were the days. But really, I never realized what a blessing hot water is.
We had Zone Conference, which was great, but our baptism fell through because she was unable to attend church the last two weeks and we haven`t been able to teach all the lessons. But soon, we will have a baptism soon, I know it. There was one day this week when every single one of our lessons fell through. I was a little discouraged that day. But I guess it was a trial of our faith because the next day all of our plans and lessons worked out perfectly and we found a bunch of new investigators. That day Luis even committed to baptism in June!
I love this work so much. I love these people with all my heart and I can see how the Lord has prepared many of them to hear the Gospel at this time. I`m beginning to see why the Lord sent me here specifically. There`s people I relate to on a special level, there`s people with experiences similar to mine, these people and places and experiences are all part of the Lord`s plan for me. I couldn`t be happier. I know this Church is true. I love seeing the effects this gospel has on people`s lives, the light that comes into their lives. I know this is where I`m supposed to be, and thus I`ll continue to labor diligently in the work of the Lord.
Jacob 1:7
I love you all!! Thank you for your support and prayers.
Love,
