Hey everybody!
This week was a pretty good one. This week we were able to re find Wendy, Rosa's daughter. We still have no idea what happened, but the Tuesday right after Rosa's baptism, Wendy got mad at us and every time we would go over to talk to her she would get up and leave. No idea what was going on. Finally last Tuesday we were talking to Rosa's son Brian and Wendy didn't go hide but she only said like three words to us. She was being awkward about it on purpose and kind of being a brat. But, she felt the Spirit that was definitely there in the lesson with us. The next day we went to talk to Rosa. Wendy pretended like she was doing homework but she was really listening in. At the end of the lesson Rosa says "Wendy, the Elders think you are really mad at them" I was kinda annoyed because I didn't want Rosa to mess things up with Wendy again because we were just starting to get her back. Wendy said she wasn't mad at us and just said stuff happens. Elder Lund then distracted Rosa while me and Wendy had a heart to heart and I mustered up the sincerest apology I could offer her. And, thankfully it worked as two days later we taught Wendy and Brian the Gospel of Jesus Christ and committed them to be baptized later this month and I really feel like this is going to happen!
Rosa and Wendy were at church this week, not sure why Brian wasn't there, but after Sunday School, Rosa tried to leave to go try and find her other son Christian but Wendy asked if they could stay, so they did and Wendy went to Young Women's. She is kind of shy so this truly is a miracle!
In district meeting we talked about miracles. We were challenged to pay attention everyday to miracles around us and nightly, text one miracle of the day to the rest of the zone. I never thought to pay that close attention to the every day miracles, but there are sooo many miracles that happen all day every day it is crazy! I challenge you to do the same. Go get a little notebook and every night before you go to sleep, write down one miracle that has happened today. I promise that as you do so, you will come to see the Lord's hand in your life a lot more prominately.
Mosiah 3:19 "For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." I like this one a lot. Strive every day to become like a child and to the things that God wants of you. As you put off the natural man, life will be better.
Until next week,
