Hola, y’all!
This week. Phew.
It was awesome. Things are starting to change. I am a huge
believer in working with members. It’s like, I just want to get as many
people as possible involved in this work! Because it’s the best!
My comp is great.
She’s a super hard worker and extremely straight-laced, but loosens up
when you put chifles in front of her. I am extremely grateful for her.
Spanish is coming, y’all!
But like, sometimes I hate it.
The guy that one of our
investigators is living with—who has wanted nothing to do with us at all—is now
going to take the lessons too :)
And the husband of
another investigator is also finally going to listen to us. We have FHE
with them tonight, and I am stoked. Pray for us, because this is a game-changer
for Katherine and her whole extended family.
A few days ago we were
walking, and someone waved to us from a window, and he looked vaguely familiar.
So we went up to the window and knocked, but no one was there anymore. So
we left after a minute and were talking to someone else as we were looking for
our appt (directions are hard), and this old lady came up to us and wordlessly
motioned that we should follow her back to the house we had knocked on.
So we did. And the whole time I was like, Are you or are you not
Voldemort’s snake disguised as Bathilda Bagshot? And are you going to try
to kill us when we go into your house? Well, rather than trying to kill
us, she very kindly led us to a small family who wanted desperately what we had. Hope.
It was really cool.
Well, I really love
being a missionary. And I am hugely grateful that the Lord trusts me so
much. It like doesn’t make any sense, but He does. He could be
doing His work a lot better, but He wants us to participate because He wants us
to be happy more than He wants His work to be perfect. Us being happy is
His perfection. And us helping Him makes us happy. It’s beautiful,
really.
I am trying to
understand the real importance of the gospel. Anyone who wants to help me
with that, I would love your thoughts.
Keep changing the
world, y’all! Your perfect Father believes in you!
Love ya!

I love the story of the lady chasing them down to lead them back to a family that needed their message of hope. Love that missionary girl.
