Family—
Well, another preperation day creeped up on me and caught me by surprise… This week went by fast, like all the other ones. We continue to work hard and are helping John to progress… He and Shirley came to church again! Johany’s mom still doesn’t want to give permission… We’re hoping for a miracle. We’re going to try to do a family home evening at their house. We were able to help Jorge accept a baptismal date (not sure if I wrote about him… 14 year old that plays soccer with the young men every Friday). His father won’t give permission either… Here goes for miracle #2. We also found Richard this week… He is 20 and is studying tourism and english. He actually speaks decently. He’s a really humble guy with a lot of charity towards his fellow man. Yesterday he accepted to be baptized the 1st of May!
Even though we haven’t baptized anyone, I feel so successful. I am learning a lot and growing a lot. And I have been able to feel that the Lord approves of our work… It feels good. Of course there is a TON to improve… I lack so much. But Heavenly Father is helping me become more than I was before. A lot of help is coming through my companion… He is a great missionary.
This week we were able to give a lot of service and work with a lot of less active members. People in the ward, even active people, have come to us with their problems and it has really hit me that everyone has problems… A lot of times we never notice, but our own neighbors could be going through the hardest time in their life.
I want you all to know that I am being truly and greatly blessed by the Lord. I am beginning to realize how big this work is. I shouldn’t deserve to be a part of it, as imperfect as I am. And yet He lets me work for Him. LOVE all of you!
