Howdy y'all
I can't believe it's been two months that I've been on my mission!
It's crazy how time flies when your working hard and having fun!! A
lot of great things happened this past week! First I got to teach
some people in our branch and some of our investigators how to pray in
English. We teach an English class every Tuesday night to anyone in
the branch, or anyone in general who wants to learn English. It's a lot
of fun and a great way for people to make friends. Also something way
awesome happened this past Wednesday and Thursday! I got to go on
exchanges with another sister from a different area. And guess
what!?! It was a deaf area!!! I got to speak Sign Language with
people!!! That was so so awesome because I was able to take 2 years of
ASL in high school before my mission! We had an awesome lesson in
English with someone in there area that they had been teaching and it
was neat to see how things work in their area. On Friday I went back
to my area and we went and taught someone who we've been working with
and we got him to pray with us! It was amazing!! He said he would
pray about being baptized and that he would continue to read the Book
of Mormon. A miracle happened this week. We went to stop by a less
active member's house. This lady is 92 years old and she's still up and
going. She doesn't look as old as she is and she's the sweetest lady
I've ever met. While talking with her, her grandson came out from his
room and said he wanted to be baptized! His name is Freddy and he's 16
years old. He said he had talked with missionaries before and that he
had been reading the Book of Mormon, and that he has been praying to
know if it is true! His mother is a less active member and we set up
an appointment to go back and talk with them. Last but not least,
I would like to share with y'all is that we were proselyting in an
area and we came across the ice cream man! We bought some Mexican ice
cream from him and talked with him for a minute, it was great! (And
the ice cream was yummy too!) Well it's been a great week and I'm excited
for the week ahead of me!! I love it here in Texas and I couldn't
imagine myself with any greater people!! I know that this gospel is
true and I've seen what it can do for people in their lives. I've seen
what it has done for me in my life. I've witnessed so many miracles
here that have made my testimony grow. I know Joseph Smith was a
Prophet of God and that he restored this true gospel on the earth
today. I know that we are all children of a loving Heavenly Father
and that He is always with us and He is mindful of us. I love being a
missionary! Hope y'all have a great week! Remember who you are and all
that you can become!
