We went and visited a recent convert that's struggling. So to help support her we all gave up something. I gave up complaining. Well... I failed. I still complained some. BUT I did get better at recognizing when I complained and then changed what I said to be something positive. So it's getting better. So I liked what you said about creating positiveness in your thoughts. I've been working on that! :D
Wednesday we had another lesson with M., but this time we had a member with us. It went so well! She's listening more and objecting less. So that's good. :) More open to the message. Progress!
Thursday we had exchanges!!! Sister Amendola went to Barrio 20. Sister Bermudez! The amazing one and only! came with Sister Calderon and I. It was a pretty intense day. But. We also met lots of people and got a referral for the deaf elders and learned a lot. It was pretty awesome. :)
On Friday we had the coolest miracle ever. A while back the elders in our area gave us a phone number and told us to call the guy, but they didn't give us the area code, so the number didn't work. So then a week later they gave us the area code and we called and set up an appointment. On the day of the appointment we called him and he said he had forgotten, so we set up another appointment.
This time he was able to come and we met and it was the most incredible lesson. He is literally the most prepared person I've ever taught. Ever. We asked him what faith in Jesus Christ meant to him, and he said it meant that he needs to follow the example of Jesus Christ in everything, because He came and set the example for us, and we need to follow Him and try to be like He was, and do what He did. And after we talked about the Book of Mormon (the elders had already given him one) he asked what was the best way to study it so he could really learn from it. It was so cool!! Anyway. Yeah. So we are going to see him again this week. So excited. :)
On Saturday we went tracting with a bunch of members. We met some very cool people, and I really feel like God wanted us right there at that moment. The best feeling ever! We met this lady Y. from the Middle East and she was going on about how she just believed in Christ, not in all these churches created by man, and how Jesus taught the truth, He taught the pure truth, and then man changed it according to what man wanted, so that's why she doesn't believe any western religions.
SO she already understands The Apostasy! Perfect! Now she just needs part 2, The Restoration. :) Anyway we sang "I Know That My Redeemer Lives", and she said it gave her the "goosey bumps." When we first knocked at her door she was a little...well she didn't want us there so much. But by the end she was hugging us and said she felt so good. It was waaaay sweet. :) And the member that came with us said she felt really good too, and that she didn't want to come at first but she was SO glad she had! :)
BTW>>>Turns out I really like Thai food. Had some yesterday. It was SOOO GOOOD. ^_^
Love you all!
