Well, I just typed out my whole email and accidentally deleted it. Cool. I promise the first draft was way cooler
Miracles I have seen and truths I have learned this week :
1. the week before this last week, we only had 14 lessons. Our district leader challenged us to have 30 this past week and we did. It is amazing to see how much the Lord blesses us when we give our all
2. Eudiz and Domingo are an older couple that were less active for a while but are now preparing to attend the temple in September. Hermano Domingo is super deaf and a huge flirt and in our last lesson he stood up and sang us some old songs. HIs wife, Hermana Eudiz is always talks over Domingo and gives us fresh fruit after each lesson. They are so old and grumpy and in love. I am so happy that I get to know them. I am so grateful for the blessings of the temple and for the chance that we have to live with our families again if we are faithful.
3. An apostle of the Lord came to talk to all the missionaries on Saturday. Elder Renlund is a great speaker and when he walked into the room, we all stood up and the spirit was so strong. He talked a lot about faith (which is something I have been studying a lot in my personal study). I have like 6 pages of notes but I cant replicate the Spirit that I felt there in my email.
4. My companion got some sad news on Sunday about the death of her cousin (who is her same age). It was really hard to see "mi mama" get such sad news. But her testimony is so strong. She cried it out, sat down, and wrote a letter to the family of her cousin ( who are not members) and shared her testimony about the plan of salvation. Then, we went out and taught 6 lessons. The plan of salvation is real. Families are forever and Heavenly Father knows and loves all of his children.
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together"- African proverb shared by Sister Renlund.
I am grateful for my family, for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and for the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
