Hola Bonita Familia!
I am so glad to hear Olivia is doing well and recovering. It fills my heart with love and gratitude!
This week there has been some crazy weather! The highways are all flooded over and closed and there are just giant bodies of water everywhere from the constant rain!! The mosquitos are also having a hay day with my fresh blood! Its good to experience these new things haha. This week as we were teaching an investigator I was baring my testimony and the spirit was really strong then out of no where BOOM a bug flew straight to the back of my throat and I couldn't do anything!!! It was so hard to just keep talking and swallow. I think this is apart of Heavenly Fathers humor he has, seeing how we will deal with what he throws at us hahaha :) We also taught a Hispanic man named Juan this week in the pouring rain. We couldn't go inside of his house and so we just all stood outside with ONE umbrella over all three of us haha we were uncomfortably close but we were able to stay somewhat dry (the book of Mormon was dry most importantly) and its worth it to get to share the gospel!!
Haylee is doing good, we got over some young women and they invited her to girls camp, young womens and church! (I think she was a little overwhelmed:)) It was awesome though and she is progressing keep her in your prayers! It is cool to see someone so young really searching for the truth and it makes me so grateful to know I have found the truth!
We have been teaching a recent converts wife Marge Zieske on and off for a while now. She is a catholic and has a lot of physical and emotional pain. She has fear of meeting new people and really doing anything at all. Her heart was soften last night as we taught her about the plan of salvation and the Saviors atonement. I had been praying fervently this week to feel the love of the Savior and last night I felt it stronger than ever. I felt like I was looking through the eyes of Christ at this elderly couple. (in there 70's) They were beaming and glorious and the love I had for them was indescribable. I had fully given all my trust to the lord and as we taught the words that came from my mouth were not mine. Tears filled Sister Zieskes eyes and in that moment she had received a confirming answer of what we said was true. You could literally see in her countenance a relief flood over her. She didn't commit to a date to be baptized but I know it will be in the near future.This was truly a miracle and something I will never forget. That is one of the greatest parts of my mission, being able to see the atonement of Jesus Christ work in others and in myself. Truly feeling the love our savior and father has for all of us its amazing!!!!
I know that this church is true. I know it was restored by the prophet Joseph Smith. I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father and a Savior Jesus Christ who lives and stands at the right hand of God as our advocate and brother.
Keep up all the good missionary work and tell me about your experiences! Be bold and loving and proud of being a member de la iglesia de jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias!!
Te Amo!!!
