This week was one for the books! We are officially back in our house and have water again, haha. We've been working a lot with our friends and they've been doing a lot better to keep commitments so we've been so happy! On Monday because we were having transfers we had the opportunity to be in a trio for a day and Hermana Guitierrez joined us! She was a powerhouse and helped us put another little boy on date for baptism!
With Hermana Guitierrez we had a lesson with our investigators and taught them about the Word of Wisdom. It was such a powerful lesson and at the end our investigator threw his weed in the toilet and promised us he was going to change, haha. We visited him yesterday and he informed us that when he feels like smoking he reads the Book of Mormon and prays instead. We're pretty proud of him, haha.
Every morning we have about an hour to study, and every single day I see how the Lord guides what I study. On Friday we had a lesson with one of our recent converts and she shared with us that she thinks her cancer is relapsing. As soon as she told us D&C 122:7 came to my mind from my personal study that morning and I shared it with her. She began to cry and thanked us for passing by and helping her. I felt really lucky that the Lord had blessed me to know how to help her that day.
Spiritual experiences:
Earlier this week we were knocking on door after door after door and everyone was rejecting us. I turned to my companion and said "We are going to knock every door until someone lets us in." We laughed and kept going. After about 20 more minutes of knocking doors, we got to our last one for the night. We knocked, expecting the same result. But, a man opened the door and said "The truth is Hermanas, we don't have time right now, but we need you. We really need your message." My companion and I went home for the night feeling really good. It almost didn't seem to matter that we had been rejected all day. I know if the Lord is preparing even one person for us, then it is all worth it!
Funny experiences:
A pigeon pooped in my hair and so we had to go back home so I could wash it out.
One day I walked out of the house feeling really ugly because I didn't have time to do my hair, but a man drove by in a car and yelled to us "My love, how beautiful, I would get run over by a car for you!!" And I felt a lot better.
One of our investigators said in her prayer "Thank you for the Hermanas passing by every single day. Literally every day." We all laughed in the middle of the prayer, hahaha.
It was Mother's Day in Argentina this week so if you see my mom give her a big hug for me!! :)
So much happened this week and I wish I had time to write about it all! Thank you for reaching out each week, I love to hear from each one of you. Have a good week and make it count!
Love,
