(Don't worry, it's a term of endearment :) )
This week, we had many miracles!
We found 6 new investigators.
We are helping Valeria plan her wedding! She is very excited to be baptized.
We also were able to bring Teresa, the less-active mother of our investigator to church!
Also, we brought a newly-moved in member to church - we drove to her house and she followed us!
We were able to find Jahayra, finally! She loved the Prince of Peace video. It actually brought to the surface some questions of the soul she was struggling with: why do bad things happen to good people, and why does God allow for wars to happen, especially with everything going down in Syria right now. We reviewed the Plan of Salvation with her - it was a powerful reminder! The Spirit was very strong in there.
The Prince of peace video tends to bring the Spirit to people, actually - we showed it to a member at dinner, then she cried and started telling us about some problems she's been struggling with, namely, getting past 2nd Nephi. She finds it hard to understand, so she just starts over. We are now texting her every morning to remind her to read and invite questions.
One less-active member liked it so much she had us play it again! :) When we showed it to a family of investigators, and our bishop was there, the lesson kind of turned into a testimony meeting, and the sister of the mom, who we met for the first time that day, accepted a Book of Mormon and became a new investigator! It was so awesome. And by that, I mean awe-inspiring. I am so grateful for technology - sharing the Gospel has never been more efficient! :)
A newly-reactivated member is going through the temple for the first time next week! It was a miracle her husband signed his approval - now she can attend her niece's sealing!
Dah! So many miracles. :)
Also, I'm learning a lot - especially patience. I'm really trying to stretch myself in this area, and I surprised myself with what I've been able to do! I know it's because the Lord is helping me.
Hermana Blow has been stressed out all week. She's had a bad feeling about today - like something bad was going to happen during emailing this morning. Nothing too terrible so far - her friend got staples in her head and her hometown got hit with a tornado, but no one was hurt. We are continually blessed.
That's all for this week! Tune in next time for more miracles!
