HEY FAM!
I got my package last week!!!!!!!!! THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!! I told Hermana
Parraga that we cant eat the stuff til my birthday! and im not letting me use
anything til then as well. (ok except for I wear the temple tshirt to bed, and
ive had one green drink. yum!) Thanks soooo soo much! Today Im sending a small
small package(finally) so hopefully everything gets to you! everything was in my
package so im feeling lucky! thanks again! i feel sooo blessed!
So this week has
been good. Yesterday we felt prompted to go to this house that we havent
visited for a long time, and they werent there, but then i remembered that with
Hermana Martinez we had seen a couple that was in a fight that lives in a house
super close to the area and had wanted to talk to them, but hadn´t had the
opportunity to come back, so i felt prompted to knock the door last night. so we
knocked it, and ive learned something with martinez for the approach to knocking
doors is to pretend like your not contacting them...aka like say something like:
we´re looking for such and such persona or this street, were not from here, can
you help us? then theyre usually always willing to talk to you and then ask oh,
where are you from? and then we talk about why we're here etc.. chev. anyways so
we asked about the people we were originally looking for and they thought that i
had said a different name of someone that live there!(yay for american accent!
:)) anyways they let us enter their house and we found a family of a mom and 3
girls and the dad that was wasted..like super drunk. but we invited him to come
sit around the table with us which he did(the mom said that never before had he
accepted to do something like that with people like us), and he told us as he
was crying that he wanted to change his life, he didnt want to drink, he wanted
to feel peace, he wanted to come closer to God, and that he didnt know how, he
said that he had prayed for help and the mom said that God had sent us to help
him. wow. so my companion told him that he had to change his friends and not
drink anymore. (hed get drunk every day). i felt prompted to pull out a piece of
paper and write the word `metas` accross the top or `goals` in english. and i
asked him what he was willing to do to change? he then came up with 3 goals, we
wrote them on the paper and i taped a picture of Jesus with it and we hung it up
in his room with the whole family(ya..i had happen to bring tape with me
yesterday. the spirits awesome). We prayed together as a family and he was so
happy, saying stuff like my soul feels liberated please please come back
tomorrow, and then when we made an appointment he was just repeating and
repeating the time. Incredible experience. It`s awesome to be an instrument in
the Lords hands and know that we can actually help these people! I also hate
Satan and how he uses alcohol a lot here to ruin families. We have an
appointment tonight to have the elders give him and his wife a blessing.
we need to have patience and trust not only in the
Lord`s will but His timing as well. I guess thats with everything in life. we
need to remember that He knows better. always. He knows us better than we know
ourself, He knows how we can become what we want to become(even if we sometimes
forget waht we want) and He knows everything else, so it would be wise of us to
trust Him every once in a while ya know?
