Last door

This week I dont really remember what happened it just went by really fast 

we worked really hard this week and we met some pretty cool people.

Hermana Kincaid and I are working on being able to recognize promptings from the Spirit and one day in our area we had no idea where to go or what to do so we say down to pray and she felt like we had to go down the street to the right and then we knocked on a door over there and this little girl came out so we couldnt really do anything about that, but then we knocked across the street and it was a member (who I did not know) and I contacted him and it was REALLY embarrassing like really.  Then my companion said I think we just needed to go down this street to have fun cause it was pretty funny.

But then we knocked on one last door and this young guy came out, his name is Gabriel, and he let us in his house, but his wife was doing her homework so she didnt want to talk to us. But last night we visited them again and they are amazing!! They are a really young couple and they are trying to find values for their life and for their future childrens life. and his wife, Eva, was asking us a ton of questions yesterday like if she needs to be baptized or how can she know which church is true and they were awesome questions. The spirit is awesome!

Hola:

This week we worked really hard. We are finding a lot of people who are searching for the gospel and for happiness.

For example one day we were walking and I just started praying in my mind for someone who needed us and we were in this block where we have knocked on a few of the doors and no one is ever home so we don't usually contact there, but I noticed one door specifically and there was watering like coming down the porch so she was cleaning and there was really loud cumbia music playing and I just felt like we should knock it. even though the music was so loud. but we knocked on it and this young girl came out and she was like oh hey let me turn the music off and she did and then came back out. and turns out she is a less active member who was baptized when she was like 11 and she talked about how she loves the temple and loves the church and then she started crying and said that she just came back from the hospital and she asked God why she was alone and why she had to go through things alone, and she said now I know that I am not alone and God still answers my prayers!!

One really hard thing about the mission is watching people you love go through really hard times and feeling your heart break so much, but hermana Kincaid said something really cool to me. She said that we love people so much that we feel so much joy when they progress but when things start to go wrong we are equally destroyed. We love with our whole heart and its ok because its worth it.

I love the gospel and I am so so grateful for our savior Jesus Christ who understands us so perfectly. We really are never alone.

Look at the view by my window

Nayeli's baptism!!

Luis (our recent convert) got to baptize his younger sister and it was so special. I love love love that family with all my heart. At Nayeli’s baptism, she said that she knew because of this decision she would never be alone and Luis talked about how the Book of Mormon healed him and took away his anger. They have a rough life, but Luis is just being more and more converted and happier. He has the priesthood now and he also got a job as a blacksmith and he said Hermana! I got a job! Now I can finally pay my tithing!

Also, we saw a big miracle this week! On Monday night, we went to go visit a contact that I had with my last companion, but I didn’t realize we had already talked to her because we found her through a member reference. It’s a crazy story, but we just knocked on her door and she let us in and it wasn’t a planned appointment, we were a little unsure of what to teach. My companion started how to begin teaching and then she said that we all have problems and we all need Jesus Christ. And then I asked what problems she was facing in her life. And she just started crying and told us so much of her life and how she thinks God is punishing her because she hasn’t been with him so much, but there was so much love and I realized that God does not want us to suffer He only works for us, He wants to do everything possible for us to be with Him again. At the end Felicidad prayed and she poured her heart out to God. I am so excited to continue teaching her and her husband.

We had a special broadcast from Elder Oaks for Peru and Bolivia and it was so awesome. The 70s talked and they gave such cool talks they talked about traditions and how the lamanites and a lot of other pueblos had to change their traditions because they were wrong and how we have to have CELESTIAL TRADITIONS and that’s so awesome so we made goals in our companionship to have those celestial traditions. 

We are seeing so many miracles in this area. Transfers happened and I for sure thought I was leaving but I’m so blessed to stay 6 more weeks in Sucre.
