Wow! What happened with May? We're in June!
Well this week was just full of miracles, just full! We had 6 people in church and they are all so excited to be baptized and we found them all this past week..! Oh and I heard about Elder Perry. What an amazing man. He had a special place in my heart because he liked sports and was super tall and I for sure thought he was going to be the next prophet. I don't remember anything about him being sick or having health problems so it was a shock to me. But what a life he lived! I have such a strong testimony of the living prophet and his apostles. We had our last zone conference with President and it was amazing. So great. Weird that he'll actually be gone in 3 weeks. Can't see it yet.
But ok, wanted to talk a little bit on a way cool thing that happened on Friday. So one of our districts has been having a little hard time with finding and just have had a tough time with some things. So Elder Borge and I went to Talanga and we split up because Talanga is divided in 2, Jordan and Talanga. So I went with the Hermanas and Elders of Talanga, and Elder Borge went with the Hermanas and Elders of Jordan to check on people that are going to be baptized and to put more dates with those that are struggling. So the ward mission leader and I went with the Hermanas first and we gave a guy a blessing because he was super sick but wants to go to church and change his life. It was a really humbling experience because yesterday they told me he was all good and went to church! After that we went to these two investigators... oh dang! They are amazingggg! Really in these 11 months I've been here, I don't know if I've seen that much faith in an investigator before. One wants to go on a mission and he's 18 and the other would be baptized today if she could. But their date was the 27th, but we got them fired up for the 13th instead. And then, I went with the elders and we had a great lesson and put more dates and they all went to church yesterday! So that was just a shortened version of a miracle day for me. One of the greatest days I've had on the mission. But we get to go to Tegucigalpa tonight! Because we're going the Temple with President Fortuna for our leadership meeting!!!! Whoo! So we're staying the night with the secratarios. But just a great week and this one will be even better. Crazy to think it'll be a year this week since graduation...unreal. Like I honestly can't believe it.
This week I'm thankful for a clean house, being a representative of Jesus Christ and being set apart from one who hold the keys to do it, the Priesthood, blessings, the Book of Mormon!, strawberry-banana cheramuscas, the new family we found, how much the Lord has blessed us this week, vaseline, sleep, that there's no time to be sad or mad because this life is too short anddddd the POWER OF FAITH!!!
Faith = Determination
