la vida loca....


Wednesday, March 6, 2013

jaja, pues la vida de una misionera como yo! well, for starters. Let's just say that I have kid!! What?!!! This past Saturday the Asistentes to the President wanted to meet with Hna. Clement and I to talk about something "highly confidencial". well, we went with that and met them at the VC. They walk in with the Training book we have as missionaries and said I would be training, in a trio, and that she would be here on Tuesday  "so we need to put a bunkbed in your apartment today." After they did that we had an intense moving day because we had to get the bigger bedroom and room for more desks. It was good! And my "daughter" is now here. I'm raising her for at least the next two weeks with my "sister" until transfer is over...then we shall see! Her name is Hermana Shaw. from Kaysville, Utah. really tall. Super FUN. Always smiling. And is not 19,  but just turned 21. and she says that life was never said to be easy but that it would always be worth it! She's awesome! Oh and she sings, so we're doing a trio this Friday in Training :D that's the craziness of my mission. I can never do anything normal.
 
 
So - 4 mins on missionary work. Well, Lourdes is doing awesome. Her niece keeps bringing her false doctrine she hears on the internet and it is not cool. but it's okay because we gave her Mormon. org and she knows she can ask us anything. She trusts us and that is a blessing. As we act as representatives of the Lord, as we are, he blesses us to know what to say to help his Children. It is truly amazing! SO she is going to let us know Thursday if she wants to still be baptized this Sunday or next, but she assured us that she wants to be baptized. And we had a really powerful lesson on ASKING SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. Often times, we don't want to pray cause we think, "God knows what is going on and he will help me." OR  when we do pray we just say what we need but not ask what we want to know or how we came to the conclusion that we want to know. WHY? we can JUST ASK! Our all-knowing, Heavenly Father, who will stay up all night or talk with us at anytime of the day just holds answers in his hands ready to shower them upon each and everyone of us and if we don't ask he  wont give it. Yes, he knows. Just like we can tell when one of our loved ones needs something...but you don't want to give them something they can't admit to themselves that they don't want. Well - it was a powerful lesson! The Spirit testified of truth as always. And I challenge you all to do the same. If you invite the missionaries over that is all they will ask you to do - Ask God if what they teach is true. That is how the Church was Restored, because Joseph Smith listened to what it said in James 1:5 and asked God.
 
Well...my time is up. sorry. I read really good letters instead of writing this week :D BUT I love you! I know you can each receive and answer to anything. Ask. Wait. Receive. Your Heavenly Father LOVES YOU!
 
Cuidense!
LES Amo!
