Oh and before I forget: HAPPY 27th
ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD ON THE 19th!!! :) You guys make a stellar couple if I
do say so myself. <3
TRANSFERS: drum roll
please..............................................................I AM
STAYING!!!! I'm the eternal missionary of Rio Nilo and will complete a year
here in this next transfer. They just can’t get rid of me. I am sure a lot of
the members will fall over when they see me here on Sunday or when we go to eat
at their houses ha-ha. I AM SO HAPPY!!! I love Rio Nilo. I was so nervous
yesterday, but nope!! I am staying!! Our district is staying the same too, so
that will be fun :)
This week it has been super-hot, but
with lots of blessings too. We set a baptismal date with Dulce. She seemed excited!
Dulce is going to live in Denver; she is here in Juarez getting her papers
ready. So, long story short, I will be taking a trip to Denver soon after I get
home to visit her. We also found some less actives that haven’t been to church
in years. We heard their names a few times last week, found out where they
lived (a little far away) and decided to hunt them down. The first time we
went, they weren't there. Then we were walking on Friday, not very close to
their house, and I had the distinct impression that we should go there. We
decided to give it a whack. When we got there, the youngest daughter and the
mom were there. According to them, they are really never home, so we were lucky
to find them. Turns out, the dad died 2 years ago and it was painful for them
to talk about. The mom is stone cold now because of that experience, but the
daughter was really softened by our message and wants to sign up for institute
now. We are going to work a lot with her and help her revive the testimony she
has lost. As for the mom, we will see. She was pleasant but did not want to be
at the return appointment we made with her daughter. Hmmmm, we will just let the
Spirit take care of that. We are going to have 2 activities this week in the
church, a FHE with all the recent converts and less actives on Thursday, and
then on Friday we are going to have a Noche de Barrio and watch "Meet the
Mormons"....everyone is supposed to invite a non-member friend. Hopefully
we can get a lot of references from that activity!!!! :) I love work! I'm
excited to see what this week brings. This past week was good.
Well, my though for you guys is
about the Spirit. I’ve been reading in PMG chapter 4 and really have loved it.
I think sometimes we make following the Spirit harder than it needs to be. It
is easy really; just follow your heart and what it invites you to do.
15 For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to
judge, that ye may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that
ye may know with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night.
17 But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil,
and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know
with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil; for after this manner doth the
devil work, for he persuadeth no man to do good, no, not one; neither do his
angels; neither do they who subject themselves unto him.
So, just listen to Moroni. I know
that if we follow the Spirit we will be blessed, and we can't mess up. I know
that He guides us in our lives. Seriously, I don’t know how to describe
it...but you just know in your heart!!!! So act on your impressions!!! And
study PMG 4.
Well, I got to go! I love you guys
so much and hope that you have a great week!!! Thanks for all your emails and
love!!! I’m doing great, so don’t worry about me. I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO until next week!
