Hey family!!
This week was really great!! We had a couple of random
alerts that resulted in us staying in the house as well as my companion hasn't
been feeling too well but we still got soo much work done! I am so excited to
be out and working again!! The weather here is soo insane! Earlier this past
week I was freezing to death with rain and super cold wind and at the end of
the week I was sunburned and dying from heat! It is supposed to be raining
again tomorrow so we will see how that goes!
So funny story..like I said we have been working a ton
right? Which I am really enjoying but it is kind of tough adjusting from a
schedule of no work and no walking to a schedule of walking/running all the
time! One day we went straight from lunch to a charla(lesson) and this was the
day that it was freezing cold! Well as a result I was super tired and I learned
when you put me in a nice warm room when I am super full and tired my mind
doesn't work too well...in spanish tan poco! And this my friends is the story
of how I started talking in English in the middle of a charla!! I seriously
have never been so tired in a charla in my entire life!! This was also the day
that we went and visited the farthest part of my area called Pueblito de Dios.
It is called Pueblito de dios because it is so far out there that only God
remembers them..yeah, that is a five mile walk one way!! Fun stuff right? But
it worked out fine! The lady understood and I was able to get it
together!!
Another really exciting thing that happened this week is
that we had seven investigators at church!! All of who want to start to receive
the charlas or are already receiving them!! We were sooo excited!!
Something I read the other day really stood out to me in Moroni
6:4. At the end it talks about how Christ is the author and perfeccionador de
nuestra fe!(perfector of our Faith) It made me think of our investigator,
Omar. He really struggles with himself because he was a super smart and rich
man before. Then some robbers came and robbed him of everything that he had and
while he was fighting for his life suffered some head trauma. Well as a result
he struggles to remember things like before! To us he is remembering soo much
but he gets frustrated! But he has faith in Christ that everything is going to
be okay and continues to strengthen himself to remember and study to prepare
for baptism! It is the same with us! Christ is the author and perfeccionador of
our faith. Through him all is possible and if we will put our trust in him he
will help develop our faith and show us the way! I hope you all can feel the
love that our father in heaven has for you and can put your trust in his son
Jesus Christ! I love you all and I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Hermana Rich
