I can not believe I am here writing home again, the time is flying I hit 5 months this week...so crazy! I feel bad for everyone not serving a mission though because really you are missing out there is nothing better. Everyone who has the chance to go serve go out and do it you will be blessed forever in ways you have never imagined!!
This week we saw some miracles (like always) and lots of tears haha so first! We went over to visit Talitha (unannounced) and we had planned to visit her at 3 but we felt like going over at 2:30 so right when we walked up Dontay was coming out and said Talitha is in the hospital im on my way up right now do you want to follow me? And I said yes almost without taking a breath! We got to the hospital and she had been there over night for some Kidney failure, she is in a lot of pain but should be okay! When we walked in she started crying she was so happy to see us. We read from the Book of Mormon with her and she cryed again and said God sent us there to let her know he is still there and loves her. The Lord loves Talitha soo much! (just like each of us) it truly was a miracle because 1 we weren't planning on going to visit her 2 we were prompted to go and switch the time and 3 she recognized our visit as blessing from God therefor strengthening her testimony!!! We also were able to have an awesome lesson with Gaspar. It was the most beautiful day and we were outside in the shade and Gaspar was teaching US about faith. It was perfect, it was soooo cool to see his testimony about faith he shared his thoughts on Alma 32. He loved the analogy of the seed. I am so proud of him and what he gets from the scriptures! He told us that when he likes a passage from the Book of Mormon he reads it in the morning the afternoon and the night and then just keeps reading it over and over haha he is awesome.
This week we had Zone Conference and it was amazing!! We learned all about families and what they should be like when we get home. I guess the brethren really want the missionaries to learn about that out on their missions and then go home and have wonderful strong families asap! It was kinda funny to be learning about that while out serving but it was so wonderful. The spirit was overwhelmingly strong! For the closing song we stood and sang the spirit of god. The spirit was literally like a fire burning in my heart. Me and sister Jones were crying (lots of tears this week) and singing in spanish while everyone was singing in english. Being surrounded by all those valiant youth it was just awesome.
One last cool thing, we were knocking doors yesterday and we met these ladies from El Salvador and they were so impressed with our spanish! They couldn't stop raving over it. It was a little confidence booster thats for sure :) It's the best because the hispanics love you and are way more apt to listen because we are white girls and we understand their language and speak it. I know its only with the help of the Lord though. The gift of Tongues rocks.
Adolfo is doing wonderful. He is progressing spiritually and he committed to live the word of wisdom!!! Yay it is so cool to see people make sacrifices like that to just give up something an addictive habit they have had for years. It is only through the Lord! He gives us strength to conquer all things!!!
I love you all very much, Christ is the Savior and Redeemer of the world. We are children of a loving Heavenly Father and la iglesia de jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias es el reino de dios aqui en la tierra. Have a great week!
