I hope that you all had a fabulous week, and that you enjoyed the last week of school and Memorial weekend! This week was a great week on the mission. I learned so much like i do every week on my mission. i think it is impossible to serve a mission and not learn something new everyday. Whether it is something about yourself or those you serve, or more about the gospel and the scriptures. This week we saw so many tender mercies and miracles it was great! This week i got to go on an exchange with Sister Nicoleta, she is a sweet girl from the Philippines. And she reminded me so much of our investigator Mitzi from Steamboat, which made me really happy! And we saw a miracle that night. We had these investigators that we were working with and they were coming to church and everything and then they kind of fell off of the face of the earth! And it was a miracle because on our exchange we saw them taking a walk with their little girl! It was great because we got a return appointment, and we are now teaching them again! I love how that works and how the lord puts people in your path for a reason. Then at District meeting we talked a lot about Member missionary work which reminded me of a scripture i read in Personal study this week. In Alma 24:14 it says..........14 And the great God has had mercy on us, and made these things known unto us that we might not perish; yea, and he has made these things known unto us beforehand, because he loveth our souls as well as he loveth our children; therefore, in his mercy he doth visit us by his angels, that the plan of salvation might be made known unto us as well as unto future generations.
I Love this scripture because I do know that the members of this church are truly the angels that declare the Plan of Salvation. And every week I learn something new that I can do to become better. This week i really realized that we needed to utilize the angels that we have here in the Vail Ward! I love how when we use the members the missionary work becomes so much easier. Because i know that the members have a huge effect on people and can help our investigators feel loved and needed and help them through the hard change of converting in their lives! It was great to work with the members this week at our Family home evening Activity at the church! Everyone came and we did a lesson on Eternal Families and then we did a game and a video! And our investigators Brenda and Riccardo, that are related to half of the ward came! Everyone was so sweet and they really got involved in the lesson and said that they loved it! An amazing miracle that we had this week happened through a fast! I have a sincere testimony of fasting, and it grows each time i see a miracle come out of it! I am literally on my mission because of my brothers fast for me to have a desire to come! This week we were fasting for our investigator Rebecca! She is a sweet old lady from Lima Peru (Camille's mission). And every single time after we see her she says, "Pray for me that I will be able to get an answer and be baptized!" Her baptism is July 1st and we are really excited for her! the BIGGEST thing with Rebecca is that she works on Sundays so it has been hard for her to come to church. So this week we fasted specifically that she could get Sunday off and come to church! And guess who walked into the chapel on Sunday? REBECCA!!! We were soo happy to see her and she knew that our fast was truly a miracle! She is truly so ready to receive the gospel! We are so excited about the work in this area, heavenly Father is truly blessing us with the elect in our area! We also had Gael come to church this week for the 3rd time! He is such an amazing kid, I have never met someone so young who cares so much about the gospel! He has started working more on his "Mormon Wall" in his room. He started keeping all of the pamphlets and hanging up all sorts of pictures! I will have to take a picture of it for everyone to see next week, it is soo cute!
Well that is about all with me this week, This is the last week of the transfer so that should be interesting to find out the news! I am so excited about this work! Th people we are teaching are so meek and humble and ready to change their lives to be closer to God! It is an amazing thing to see and it makes me so beyond happy! I love you all and I hope that you remember that you are ANGELS! I truly do invite you this week to do something to be a missionary or to help the missionaries! Go out to a lesson with them, feed them for dinner, or reach out to a friend and share the Gospel! Just remember you all are truly angels who declare the plan of Salvation! So start declaring it to everyone, i can promise you that everyone needs this message of JOY! LES QUIERO!!!! Have an amazing week! 💙💜💚❤
