Wow, so I just typed a paragraph and realized it was all in Spanish haha
Delete! Anyways, this week has been really hard but resulted with
amazing blessings too.
For one, I officially had 5
months in the mission on the 15th. (How crazy! This mission is going by
way to fast! I don't know how to stop it! AH!) And we had the baptism of
little Carmila, who is 8 years old. Her mom was reactivated a few months
back and she asked us to help her prepare her daughter for Baptism, so
we have been teaching her all the lessons this past month =)
This
week we started teaching English lessons! Whoow! They assigned
me and Elder Arnold to teach them, which definitely challenges us
because I only have 4 months in Mexico and he only has about a month, so
our Spanish is not the best, but I decided to just teach the Class Herr
Corry style, and just run around pointing at things and yelling English
words, it actually worked pretty well =P
Sunday
was a big miracle. These past few weeks we have been working
reallllllly hard, teaching and finding as many people as we could. But
every Sunday no one would really come to church and we were not seeing
any results of our efforts. I definitely prayed a lot more this week,
asking what more I could do to help this area grow, to help those people
we were teaching to receive the Gospel and come to church and feel the
Spirit. Behold, we were blessed with 6 investigators this Sunday! We
went to pick up a family Sunday morning (who are never usually
there...) and they were all waiting by the door with their books of Mormon(s) and pamphlets. I honestly almost cried in the door step because
I was so happy just to see them so ready to learn.
I
cannot tell you how blessed I feel being a missionary. I have the opportunity to visit soooo many families and help them strengthen their
relationships with each other. It is just awesome to see them grow in
the Gospel and apply these principles in their homes. Its the best! I
love it! I have the best mission in the world!! =D
I love you all!!! Have a fantastic week!!! =D
Love Hermana Orison
