Hello friends and family!
This week went really well for me and my new comapnion. We are getting to know one another better, and we´re starting to help many people come to Christ. We´re trying to work hard so that the misisonaries can be happy and hardworking, so that they can become what they can become.
This week we Rescued (for less actives), Reyna, who is absolutely incredible. She is a perfect example of hastening the work. We went to a family of the second counselor of the bishopric for a family home evening, and taught a short lesson about sharing the gospel. We then asked them who they knew that needed a visit from us, and the wife (Jessica), mentioned Sister Reyna. SO we went with her one day during the week to her house. She felt the Spirit strongly as we talked with her, we coordinated a return appointment, and when we came back, adn we talked with her, the lesson was amazing,. She cried during the lesson, because she felt the call of the Savior calling her back to the fold, calling her back to Him.
And she came back. She atteneded almost every session of Conference in the church, she´s been in avtivities, she´s starting her family history, and she´s trying to help her two children so they can come to the Church and be baptized as well. We talked to her this week about going to the temple,. adn she said that she is giong to go- she´s not going to let anything hold her back this time. Her friend, Jessica, has been in almost every appointment with her, helping her, guiding her, and supporting her, answering her questions. When we leave, she´s going to keep track of her, and keep loving her.
It is amazing to be able to be apart of it. I love the Lord´s work, becuase it is a gospel of Change, of being able to become who you should be, and not just who you are. It is wonderful!
I love you all!
