Family and Friends,
I feel so blessed to be a
missionary. I love it. Let me tell you of just a few experiences this week that
help me feel that way. We met one lady, Margarita, with her daughter in the
street last week. When we called to set up an appointment, she said she would
like a blessing for her health (turns out her sister in NJ is a member). We
went to her home Saturday and the elders gave her a blessing. It was a beautiful
experience and the spirit was strong. She immediately felt more calm for her
surgery and already recognizes the power of the priesthood that has been
restored. Her and her daughter came to church yesterday as well. They are both
very excited and prepared to accept the message of the gospel. Saturday we had
another great experience.
Last minute we ended up visiting a
member who hasn't been to church in many years. As we talked, I felt a strong
impression to invite her boldly and directly then and there to come to church
the next morning. She kinda chuckled, but said, "yes, I need to be there,
I know it." We stopped by her house on the way to church Sunday and she
was ready and anxious. Old church friends were so happy to see her. And she
bore a beautiful testimony during relief society. I didn't do a thing, yet her
Heavenly Father knew what she needed to hear. Being willing to follow that
inspiration is key in missionary work. Our recent convert, Eloisa, also made a
cute comment in relief society. She said when she was baptized and looked at
herself in those white clothes she thought, "wow, I'm beautiful" and
looked younger (she's 73) and more vibrant. Another lady related that to how we
are literally more beautiful when we have the Spirit with us. It's true.
Anyway, it's been a great week for me.
Hope yours has been as well!
Love you all!
