Veronica and Valentina are doing remarkably well. Veronica was approached by her friend this past week Alejandra. She said, ¨There is a difference in you, I see so much peace in your eyes, I want what you have.¨ She said to her, inviting her to church as well, ¨Come over to my house for a FHE, and I have a gift for you, the Book of Mormon!¨ Although still anxious to share the gospel sometimes, to open her mouth and solicit oportunites to share, she is regularly being asked by her friends and colegues at work about her change. ¨Preach the gospel, and If necesary use words¨ -President Monson.
Valentina this past week went out with the Sisters a few times and loved it! She has become a great example for her sister Genesis. Genesis is killin´ it too! Her comprehension from the BoM is still remarkably better than mine, haha! She reads a chapter and then reiterates, verse for verse from memory what happened there! Pretty ballin´, she puts me to shame:)
In divisiones with the famous ELDER WATSON from the MTC (torn MCL, woops:( ). there was a sign that said ¨Empanadas con Carne Picada.¨ We were found wondering, ¨what´s the difference between picada and molida,¨ naturally we asked the first man who came walking by. Well obviously one is diced, the other being ground:) Our friend proceeded to explain to us that he had lost his twin sons, and had a lot of questions about where they are, and wanted to help his wife out of depression. We set up a lesson and took down his information for a lesson. It was yet another example of how God uses small and simple means, to carry out the great:) and how ALL things good carry a connection to God.
We had a fun movie night in the church with a bunch of inv., less actives, and actives, being screened ¨17 Miracles.¨ I felt really moved by the sacrifices of the pioneers to cross the plains. A few tears were shed (but not by me). I feel like there are so many stories to be told, church stores to be told, and would love to work for the church doing exactly that!
Brother Luis Leiva from the ward (voice of Worms World Party, spanish version) sang to the family Espinace in a FHE the other day. He sings in weddings, parties, etc. AND has more than 6,000 facebook friends. The spirit was super strong, and helped Veroncia feel the confirming spirit to forgive those who have been abusive towards her in the past.
Please keep leondro, Genesis, and Nicolas in your prayers with their approaching dates, that they can combat doubts with prayers of gratitude and the BoM!
I think Valentina and Fransisca will go with the young men and women, and we will see the temple grounds the 3rd of Sept. with others! Should be neat-o.
Im grateful that God pushes us out of our comfort zone so so much!
Love you all, pictures to come next weeeeeeekkk
