This week has been kind of a difficult one. I don`t really know
why. But at the same time, I am learning mucho. The great thing I have to report
this week is that we had 3 people in church yesterday! Hermana Edelsy, Carlos,
and Abdianis. I was sad that Abdianis` mom - Lina, didn`t come. We have seen
miracles with her this week, and it was so sad to not see it end in her first
church attendance.
So while we`re talking about her, cool story to tell. At the
beginning of the week, we asked Lina to start praying for an answer to when and
if she should get baptized. When we went back, she began to tell us about how
she had had dreams that week about us! After she explained what she`s been
feeling and such, we talked and helped her know that those dreams she had had
about us were an answer from God! Telling her that she should yes, indeed, get
baptized. She seems fixed on the idea, but now we just have to help her get
married, come to church, and complete with the commandments. What really matters
is we have the goal in view. It really strengthened my testimony that God really
will answer our prayers. I feel that He has really prepared Lina and her
daughter. Meanwhile, Edelsy hasn`t missed an activity in two weeks! She is a
single mother of two young boys, and we want to help them so much! We are really
close to putting a fecha baptismal with her.
I don`t really have a ton more to report. I am working on my
personal reading goals of reading Preach My Gospel, and the Bible. Just started
Luke this morning, and there couldn`t be a better time to read about the birth
of The Savior. I must say I am getting excited for Christmas, and loving my
Christmas music - thanks so much. I`ll let you know when I get my package - I
still haven`t recieved it. I don`t think I`m gonna get it before Christmas,
because they gave out all the packages at the Christmas zone conference and mine
wasn`t there! So we will see. Speaking of the zone conference though, it was
SUPER sweet to step foot back in Chorrera. I loved it.
I feel bad that I don`t have much more to say.... ha. It`s been
a melo week. Changes are the 20th of this month - no one knows if Elder Castejòn
will stay another change with me or if I will recieve a new companion. I`m glad
that you are all doing so well - Mom, congrats on finishing the semester :) Take
a well-deserved break. Well my time is up......... Hope you all have a wonderful
week! And be safe. Love you!
