David Archuleta and Service Heals the Cracks of the Heart.
Wow! It has been a crazy week! We have been experienced the highest of highs and the lowest of lows this week but all in all it really has been great!
The biggest highlight of the week was that we went and served at an old folks for two hours. Brother Moesing (Teresa Williams brother) owns an old folks home and we have been looking for good opportunities to serve and so we decided to go and serve there. It is an old house that has been turned to a nice old folks home. There are about 10 residents and they are all so sweet. We had fun getting to know them, paining their nails, and singing with them. They all really enjoyed having company and it was a pleasure to serve them and to brighten their days. Their is nothing better than service!
Also second most exciting thing of the week is that Hermana Whitney bought the Mormon Tabernacle Christmas CD that features David Archuleta so we have been enjoying listening to his beautiful voice sing to us every day!
It has been a little hard to see Aliy this week but we were able to have great lessons and we have seen the Lord's hand guiding her down the path to baptism. However, yesterday she did not come to church so she will not be getting baptized this week. It is such a blow but we are hoping to see her today and talk to her about all of it and come up with a new plan. She knows it is true she is just getting busy with work and she is getting scared. Miguel texted us this week and told us that he would prefer to go to his Christian church so we tried to convince him otherwise but he would not listen. It is hard not to let these blows take you down but this week I have tried to do my best to have them help build me up.
We have seen miracles this week! We found an awesome family! They are seriously the cutest thing! Daniel and Isabel and their three kids Stephanie (14), Wendy (7) and Brian (2) have met with missionaries off and on for about 5 years but have had a hard time getting to church. We knocked on their door and they let us right in and we had a great conversation with them. We then came back a few days later to have a lesson with them and all of them were just sitting their waiting for us. That never happens so that was sweet! we are going to go back and have a family home evening with them this week and hopefully we can help them get to church. Such a tender mercy.
Also yesterday was the primary program. It was the sweetest thing ever! It was all about being children of God. I thought of how blessed we all are to know that we are children of God and how it is a blessing to share that knowledge with others. If you have bot seen the video Earthly Father, Heavenly Father watch it and share it with someone!
Everyone needs to know these precious truths!
Have a great week!
Love you all!
Hermana Hillary
