What a great week! We saw a lot of miracles. We started teaching the
niece of one of the members here, and she is super sweet. She is 14
and wants to be baptized, but has trouble because her dad doesn't
agree. But, we'll keep teaching her and praying!
The other miracle of the week is that we went to the temple with Maria
Lopez! She is 75, but had so much energy! We took the bus and the
subway and walked in Manhattan, and she just had a constant smile on
her face. It was so exciting to see her be baptized for her mom and
her sister. THe work is real!
Funny moment this week ... we had asked a member if we could help her
garden this week and on the phone I thought she said we could try next
week because she was having problems with her knees (rodillas). Well,
the next day she was going to come teaching with us and she calls and
said she couldn't go because, "Remember when I said I problems con las
ARDILLAS?" So, ardillas = squirrels. Oops. Misunderstood that one.
Apparently her knees are just fine :)
We made homemade peanut butter with Manny and read the Book of Mormon
with him. He came to the Book of Mormon club again, and he likes the
Book of Mormon. It is so interesting .. he likes the book that is
another testament of Jesus Christ, but doesn't believe in Christ. Hmm.
But, we'll continue praying for him!
Anyway, it was a great week. We felt really blessed to have a pretty
packed schedule at the start of the week. I have been studying in Alma
about the sons of Mosiah and all of their miracles they experienced in
missionary work. One of my favorite stories is when Aaron teaches King
Lamoni's father and he says he will forsake his kingdom to be able to
experience this great joy. What are we willing to forsake to more
fully enjoy the blessings from Heavenly Father? That's my question for
you all this week!
I love you so much!
