Obedience = Blessings
Hola! Buenas tardes! Espero que todo este muy muy bien en el valle del sol! ( I hope that every things is very very good in the valley of the sun!)
First of all, sad news! I have gotten use to this beautiful weather because it was only 89 degrees outside yesterday and I seriously felt like I was going to melt! I am sure that it is getting warm in beautiful Arizona. I hope that you all don't melt and I hope that it does not get too hot here because I love this weather even though if it is getting a little warm there is nothing like putting some good sweat into the work!
So this week has honestly been one of the greatest weeks ever! We have really been trying hard to be EXACT obedient and as we have tried to be 100 percent in everything we have seen so many miracles.
Before my mission that I knew that I was going to fall in love with the people that I served but it is amazing how much love that I feel for these amazing people that I teach and that I come in contact with. I love putting faces to the miracles and remembering that it is not about doing what I think would be best for the person but trying to understand the Lord's will for them and then qualifying for the Spirit so that I can make the will of the Lord come to pass because let's be honest I am a sweet teacher but my words will be hallow without the Spirit.
The Miracle People of this week:
Faine: So this week was a little rough with Faine because she was supposed to be baptized yesterday but she was very hesitant because she just doesn't feel that she can give our church all of her time while she is also helping her daughter prepare for her first communion in the Catholic church but she said she would still try to come to our church and that she still wants to get baptized! So we set a date for her to get baptized on the 26th of May which is a few weeks after her daughters communion. She felt really good about it and we felt like it truly was the will of God. Then the true miracle of it all is that she came to church yesterday and stayed for all 3 hours and she loved it! It is hard because the Lord's plan for her is not exactly as fast as we would like it to be but she will be baptized soon and it is going to be a glorious day!
Lulu: She is a sweet 18 year old teenage mother and one of our new investigators. She is such a cute young girl and she wants to know the truth. As we were teaching her she said she was a little confused but she said that she knew that as she learned more she would understand better and better. I just love that she immediatley wanted to know more and she knew that she would understand with time and with the help of Heavenly Father. I am really excited to teach her tomorrow and help her progress in this gospel.
Andres: He is one of our less actives that is only less active because he works on Sunday. We went to teach him on Wendesday because we always teach him on Wednesday but for some reason or another we did not really have a set lesson planned but we had an idea of what we could talk to him about but then he ended up teaching us a really awesome lesson on Faith and it was really an answer to my prayers that day because I just needed a little reminder on faith. It is just amazing the little things that Heavenly Father does to answer our prayers!
Ilse: She is one of our most solid investigators! We had the best lesson ever with her because we had an awesome awesome member present! We found a member that totally understands how she feels and is able to help understand the many many questions that she has! So because of this crazy awesome lesson Ilse is considering being baptized!
Carmen: She is our awesome investigator who owns the best mexican restuarant ever and we had a great lesson with her about the plan of salvation and she just soaks up everything! We taught her and then she asked if we would like to have something to eat and so of course we said yes! The best part of this story is that we felt like we were in the movie Return to Me as we sat at the back table right by the kitchen with the owner of this family owned restuarant! It was sooooo fun!
Lino: I got a little upset at him this week but it was cool because I was able to get upset in Spanish! So my temper is now bilingual! Woot! Woot! No I did not get super mad I just got frustrated because he was not listening and I just want him to com to church so bad!
Well I hope that you have enjoyed the run down about all of the people that I love! They are all wonderful and it was a really amazing week! I love you all so much! Thank you for all of your prayers!
Pray for missionary opportunities and they will come! It is amazing how the Lord will answer our prayers!
Love,
Hermana Andrews
