Hola Familia!!
Yesterday, as we were driving to visit a less active I saw a man in our ward at the park. The strange thing was that he doesn't live in St. Peter he lives in Mankato. So my companion didn't believe me and wanted to see if he was really there. As we drove around the park we saw a part member family the Juantos driving who we haven't been able to have contact with in a few months. We waved and pulled into the park and they happened to turn around and be going to that same park. We got out of the car and talked with them and set up a time to see them woot woot! Also another miracle was that the member in our congregation is someone that the Juantos really admire and he speaks Spanish! So he was able to talk to them and hopefully get them excited to come to church. It is amazing what the Lord can do for us and for the countless miracles I am seeing cada dia!! I am constantly in awe of the mercy love and compassion he has on each of us and how he is SO aware of EVERY need each of his children has. Oh man and then we were knocking on doors and everyone kept saying no no no no no no no I don't have time you're wasting your time, blah blah blah hahah but we kept the faith that we could find someone who was prepared. So we prayed as to where we should go and we felt good about going down a few streets and we knocked into this girl named Jenifer. She was so open to our message and loved it and agreed with everything that we were saying she wouldn't commit to baptism but she is going to pray and read in the book of Mormon. Me and my comp both knew for sure she was the reason we knocked there. I know the Lord had her prepared even if she doesn't know it yet!!! Also this week we knocked into a girl who has been less active for a long time. She was baptized when she was 8 in California. She has since fallen away and doesn't want what we have to offer BUT she has siblings living in Utah who are Lds and she said almost all of her nieces and nephews are serving missions. She said she felt like we were them and so she had to open the door. Even though she pretty much told us to not come back I know God wanted her to have that reminder that he is there and that she is loved. No matter where you are in the gospel, lost, fallen away or have a faltering testimony. God loves you. He is aware of you. He knows what you need and he will be patient with you. He will not abandon you and it is NEVER too late to come back. Happiness resides within the arms of our savior. The only way to happiness is through the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know this with my whole heart and soul.
Adolfo is doing wonderful! I am so excited for him he is progressing wonderfully to be baptized on June 7th!
We had stake conference this weekend and it was awesome. Elder Spackman talked to us and I just loved it. He said that most people don't accept the gospel until they have been introduced to it 7 times, this is an average the church did from recent converts. Me and hna Jones always now say oh well we were number 4 or we were number 6 and it helps! It is cool to think about and he told us that as long as we are doing our part and being an example and talking about it and doing our best that's enough! Even if we're not number 7. We will be able to be apart of number 7's some times but a lot of the time we are number 3's or 5's. Talk with everyone :) don't be ashamed of what you believe. We are on the wining team and Christ our loving savior will support you. I love you all!!!!!!!
Have an awesome week.
Have an awesome week.
Read and pray daily, you will see miracles.
