Happy March!
So no worries, I'm still in Laredo!! Which I'm way excited
about. Sister Dupape stayed as well, so that's fun. Transfers was insane cause
we didn't find out ANYTHING until 10:50 monday night. which is pretty
ridiculous. but it's all good.
This transfer's going to be awesome! no one left from our
apartment and we're going to have tons of fun. We even started a hardcore diet
and exercise thing because mexican food is making us all fattt. but don't worry
we're still eating and all. Just less of the bad and more of the good. It's a
good challenge for me because food is definitely a weakness of mine. haha. Good
thing God helps weak things become strong, right?
anyways,
This past week was pretty good. we definitely saw God's hand
in our work.
One of the coolest things that happened was this weekend. On
Saturday we felt like we needed to go to a certain street (definitely not in
our plans) to contact. It's also one of the most sketch streets in our area and
it was pretty dark outside, so it was weird that we were there. But anyways,
right after we got out of our car, a car pulled up on the other side of the
road and some people got out, so we went to talk to them. As we talked to them,
a 15-yr-old girl that was still in the car opened the door and asked what
church we were from and when we told her she said, oh! I'm a mormon too! Turns
out she's a less-active member we didn't know existed that lived in a different
part of our area. She told us she's glad she met us because she has pretty
serious depression and problems with cutting herself and other things and that
she wants to go back to church. Seriously such an incredible miracle. we went
by the next day to teach her and had a super spiritual lesson about our worth
and the power of the atonement. Her friend that was there even wants us to
teach her family now! If that's not a miracle, I don't know what is. It grew my
testimony so much of how aware God is of us and our needs. We had no clue she
even existed or would be with friends on that random street at that precise
moment, but God did. And God knew that she needed to be rescued. It was
amazing. I'm so grateful that I have this chance to be an instrument in God's
hands. There is nothing better than to know that you were where you needed to
be and were able to help someone feel God's love and come closer to Him.
I love being a missionary and am trying my best to enjoy
every moment, because seriously it goes so fast. I know that God loves each of
us and that through the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ we can be healed
and strengthened.
Have a great week and choose the right!
Love
