It turned cold
this week (not cold like it is now in the States but cold here). We also have
had a lot of rain which was really nice for this week. It was weird as I sadly
realized that I've adapted to the weather here. I don't want to imagine how
cold I'll be when I get back.
We had
a super funny experience
with a member this week. We decided to go out and visit the families that are
being ministered to and to help out the ministering brothers and sisters
minister in a holier way. As we went to visit one family, we found out that it
has been quite a while since they have attended church. And it was more and
more obvious the more we talked. However, there was moment we
were talking about the restoration. We asked what they remembered about the
restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The mother thinks and unsure says,
"There was the prophet...Will Smith???" The daughter started laughing
as the mother recognized that that was not the prophet. It was a good laugh as
we then explained it was Joseph Smith.
We also
saw this week a lot of opposition; not against us but against those we are
teaching. There were so many problems that came up from having a wayward son
leave the house and getting injected for her back to getting in a car accident
and now looking for a new store to move to. I couldn't help but think just how
hard Satan is working against us and God so that these wonderful people can't
complete the invitations we have extended to them. However, because they are
wonderful people, they've been able to recognize the importance to depend on
God and the Atonement of Christ. It's been a little difficult for us and them,
but we've been able to keep going. I think it is a good lesson for all of us
and for this last weeks study topic about miracles. It is so important for us
to follow the willingness of Mary as she submitted to the will God had for her,
even though it wasn't in her plans I'm sure. I know that we can humbly submit
to God's will as we constantly try to seek it.
Love
you all! I hope you have a great week as we try to become true-er disciples of
Jesus Christ (I can't English any
more).
