Hola Familia!!!
I am in St. Peter for another transfer with Hermana Jones! That means we are celestial companeras and you will be able to meet her! This week was amazing as each week is here in the Minnesota, I literally am in paradise! I heard Utah is getting lots of rain, so are we...I pretty much smell like wet dog every where I go because of the goose feathers in my coat hahah but other than that its great and a lot better than snow!!
This week something weird happened... we were knocking on doors and found a man named Guy Gustaven and he apparently got baptized back in '65. He said he keeps moving to hide form us but we somehow always find him. We found a random less active that no one knows about but I don't think he's going anywhere. At least we got to share our testimonies and remind him of what once touched his heart!!
This past week I had been specifically praying to find a family to teach as well and me and Hermana Jones doing the same thing together. I had prayed to find a family by 6 pm on Wednesday night and by Wednesday we still hadn't found one. Right before dinner (which is at 5) we found them! The mother's name is Isabell. She is super nice and welcoming to all people who predicar. So we were able to teach her and learn that she had been looking for a church for her and her family to attend and for her kids to be baptized into! She also said before we knocked she was praying and then there we were standing at her door. The Lord is so cool and its amazing to see how he uses his servants! I am super excited to teach them and hope everything goes well. This week we did a lot of finding and we were blessed from it. Hopefully I will have some more updates on the people we found next week! One person we found his name is Mario. We were in a gas station parking lot looking at a map in Le Sueur and some Hispanics pull up next to us... because we are always doing weird uncomfortable things we rolled down our window and started a conversation. They were really shocked we spoke Spanish hahaha. We got Mario's friends number and said we would stop by there apartment later on. So we did this week and Mario was so interested. His family is back in Mexico but he says he wants to share his knew knowledge with them too! It made me so incredibly happy. Every time I teach its just the best thing ever. If there is ever anything that's hard in the day after I get to teach again everything better. Its like a cure, service, work and love! It is amazing to see how safe-guarded I have been my whole life. This week we taught Kristy again. She has had some serious challenges throughout her life. Listening to her talk and watching her cry and the pain she had really made me just want to cry for her. It was super sad to see how torn down her soul is. All I can think everyday is how blessed I am. We truly are so blessed to know what we know and for the families we have. In that lesson I really was praying the whole time for the spirit and to know what to say. As I opened my mouth I knew what I was saying was not coming from me. I felt empowered and the spirit so strong. It was truly amazing to be placed in her life in her time of need. The message we share can heal EVERY soul. The gospel of Jesus Christ his atoning sacrifice can heal everything in life that we cannot. I am so grateful for this matchless gift of love.
Some funnies from the week, a Hispanic man we teach named Cipriano he told us he has two questions for us. The first was do you smoke marijuana? and the second was Are you aloud to marry someone like me? hahahah you can imagine me and Hermana jones thought process we assured him we don't smoke and the other question we tried to mull over. Another thing that I have learned on my mission is how much love I have for the missionaries from our church but not for the missionaries of others churches...you can imagine who I am talking about. Haha so we teach a lot in trailer parks because of the Hispanic population there. This week as we were driving through it we see a good 6 Jehovah witnesses getting out of a van. They were all Hispanic. Ugh! It was so frusterating because Hispanics love Hispanics and even more so they love them if they compartir la palabra de dios (share the word of god). We got out of there so we didn't have a run in with them haha and just said a prayer that our investigators will not be confused hahah.
I love you all so much and most importantly I am growing a stronger love for my savior. I know he lives and loves us and will guide us by the hand if we allow him to.
Keep up your reading in the book of Mormon and always pray. We really can't afford not to everyday! Have a great week and thank you for your support!
XOXOXO
Hermana Pentelute
