KLK. Hey family and friends,
I had a great week this week. Tiring week but it was good.
my companion and i contacted demasiado... a ton. we hve a few people who we
think would beinterested in learning more. :)
one cool experience i want to share has to do with how neat
it is in how God is aware of us. We were contacting in one of our areas where
we have no progressing invesigadors. we go to an apartment building (after
having contacted a few houses before) and use the he intercomn to beep. One
responds and asks wo it is but before we can respond the door is unlocked, we
say thanks and walk in. We very quickly were met by a little boy about 8ish. He
then runs back up to the house so we follow up after him. We then hear people
inside the house ask who it was. He's like I dont know. So we are in the front
of the door and they invie us in in, have us sit down, ec. It was like we were
kinda carried in.. .like pushed in to the house. it happened really fast.
We introduced who we were, asked who they were and just
started having a natural conversation,. come o find out the one lad: Rosemil
knows quite a bit about mrmons because growing up she had a good friend who was
mormon and she would go to church with her. The other lady: Francisca (rosemils
mom) is always open to hear "the word of God". Anyway we shared with
them. It was cool. One thing I though was really interesting was what Rosemil
said before we had left. She said she never lets anyone in she doesnt know.
however she thought maybe we were her brotherinlaw and then her son ran down
and it just happened so fast.She wouldnt have let us in but I truly believe God
wanted us to visit this family.
Anyway i was not expecting to be let in. Alwas hoping but
never expecting. Just hoping that everyone we talk to will just give us two min
to hear us out.
Well, I thought this lesson we had was cool. I truly believe
God brought us to this family. I dont know if much more will come from this
family (while im here) but i believe we needed to be there. We are going to
visit them this coming week. ill let you guys know what happens. :)
As for the rest of my week, it was good. I have learned my
companion and is biggest strength (or helper) is laughter. When were laughing,
were happy and were full of love/happiness and can teach with the Spirit
because theres no contentions to scare it off. Hermana Molina and I have become
good friends. were kinda goofy. One da she wanted to see if we could put our
fists in our mouths and come to find out... i could. not flattering to say the
least so im not sending pics haha... but i discovered another weird talent i
have.
she also had me try chips and crackers with ketchup... gross
right? wrong.. it was actually kinda good haha... so weird.. maybe ive been
here too long :p
we have tried coconut icecream bars this last week and shoot
man theyre divine... i really like coconut. we helped a member grade some
coconut tis last week and its not super hard, just gotta be careul to not cut
yourself... too much, ha. No one likes bloody coco.
anyway, hna beaukers and hna mayfield tried malta morena
this alst week (a dominican drink...which is not super tasty) so that was fun
to watch.
Anyway, this was m week. I hope you guys had a great weak
and know i love you! I know I dont share EVERYTHING or a lot some weeks and my
time is short right now due to losing power twice since ive been in internet...
but i just want to leave with my testimony that even though missionary work is
hard. It really is worth it because the church is true. The more i learn the
more it just makes sense. The bible and book of mormon are true. This is
Christs restored church, and really... if someone wants to know for themself it
its the true and God's only true church... or if there is only one true
church... Well they can know.. they can ask God Himself through prayer... and i
promise.. promise promise promise He'll answer. Isnt that neat? I know God
loves us, that we are His children.
I'm not here to convince the world, I'm here to invite the
wold to discover the truth for themself because thats how i gained my
testimony: being invited, being befriended, excercising faith and trusting God.
I know this is church is true and I know, if you dont right now, you can know
too.
Love Hermana Hildman (JAMES 1:5)
