Dreams Really Do Come
True
I don’t know if I have told
you much about my comp, Hermana Ramos. She is terrific. A little
fireball. She doesn’t like to eat, but we’re working on that. We like
being together here :)
We found a new
investigator yesterday. He had a bunch of honest questions—the kind that
like get down to business. He likes to
read, he has daughters who also like to read, he has a curly 80s mullet, and he
makes chifles [Davi’s favorite thing: deep-fried sliced plantain] for a living. Dreams really do come
true, right?
We had a lesson with
Guisselle and her two kids this week, where they really just bore their
testimonies. They were like, “I really believe this.” It was so cool.
They are hungry for more and more, wanting to know anything and everything.
AND, the sister of Guisselle (mama de Fernando) has read all of Alma of
her own free will. And yesterday, she let Fernando come to church, and
signed him up for seminary. And she has committed to coming to the baptism.
Oh, it is so sweet! It has been a while since this branch has had a
baptism, so everyone is super excited! Branch council was ALL about how
they were going to make this baptism the bomb. They planned like three
musical numbers. Isn’t Talara the cutest? I love this place!
Anyway, things are
really great. But every time I read Dalton’s emails, I realize I don’t
get it, and wish I was him. Isn’t he the coolest?
I’m feeling really
grateful for my family this week. I love you guys. Seriously, you
are the best.
Please keep praying
for my people. I am praying for you! The Church is super true!
Love,
Hermana J
