This Sunday the elders had an investgator
in church named Elena. She has been coming to church for a while and
will be baptized in a couple of weeks. i LOVE her because she makes me
feel like Im in the Baton Rouge ward. She shared ALLLLLLLLLLLLL about
how her husband left her and about her eye pain that she has every
morning and that despite all of these trials, she has always been loyal
to HER church the catholic church. SO FUNNY! I died laughing the whole
time (inside). I felt very at home. Its been a while since Ive heard way
too personal experiences or falso doctrine and stuff. Good time.
Paola,
the mom of one of the families we found last week dropped us this week.
It was really REALLY sad. She doesnt want to go to church because shes
afraid her baby daddy will leaev her. She WANTS to get married and fllow
god and the commandments but the father of her chirldren doesnt and she
is stuck between being a sinlge mom with the church or a woman with the
afther of her children, but in contrary to the commandmants of god. We
testified that she would NEVER be alone and that as she drew herself
closer to christ, she might pass through hard things, but only blessings
and the plan that God has for her, the better plan, would be the road
shed end up on. It would be better for her children and her family and
she does not know the miracles that god has in store until she acts
because God is all powerful and all knowing and can change hearts and
lives. She just has to trust in hime. She still told us not to pass by
anymore with tears in her eyes. It was a hard day. Because aftert that,
in the bus to go to the pension, we saw a big car accient. The police
directed the bus to cut off the road so we were there seeing the hwole
thing for a hwile. So sad. There was a woman that they were butting in
one of those stretch boards and there were firemen and medics running
all over the place. I felt peaceful for 2 things. 1st, the plan of
salvation. 2nd: Ive seen Greys anatomy and I knew kind of what was going
on and that the woman was in serious condition and the children in the
car were fine because they had medics talking to them in the window of
the car.
After, hermana ventura and I turned to the other and both said we have to find that family.
Today
in the fabric store, the woman was talking to her friedn about how her
friend had been in a car accident this weekend and she was destraught.
We talked to her and turns out she never works in the fabric store in
the mornings but today she switched shifts. We talked to her. It was a
miracle to find her!
It was a good week alll in all.
We did excvhanges with the sisters from San MAartin this week. I love them! Sister correa and sister nieto.
Love, Hermana Sant
