I have experienced many adventures and miracles this week. First off
our Zone and another Zone in our area sang the National Anthem at the
Round Rock Express Baseball game and it was so much fun! They have a
video of us and some pictures on the TSAM Facebook page! We got there
and it started to pour rain on us and they had to postpone the
baseball game at first but then the weather got better. A lot of people from
our Branch came to the game for family night just to hear us sing and
they were all cheering for us...it was great!! This week the weather has
been a little bit nicer. On Tuesday morning my companions and I went
running and about 10 minutes into our run it poured on us and we were
completely soaked in about 2 minutes. When it's rainy here it's also
super humid and really hot. We've had quite the experiences with bugs
this week! They are so much bigger here! We were eating lunch one
evening and decided to open our back door because it was so hot in our
condo. Well we opened the door and all these spiders about the size
of a nickel came flooding in! It was quite a funny experience. I
introduced myself as Alyssa Mann this week and laughed because I
haven't done that ever before. We had some awesome lessons this week
with some of our investigators! We have been consistently teaching 2
different families and a man named Herminio. They are all progressing
and we invited Herminio to be baptized but he says he needs to
continue to read the Book of Mormon and pray more before he decides.
We talked with a less active family this week and they said they have
a goal of wanting to be sealed as a family by the end of the year! We
talked with them about temples and how we can help them achieve this
goal of theirs. We had many miracles this week but I will share one
that happened. One evening we were biking to a house of someone who
we were going to contact and we couldn't find the house number
anywhere (we were lost). We kept biking and saw a woman sitting at a
table under a pavilion at a park and we decided to go ask her if she
knew where the house was that we were looking for. When we got over
there we introduced ourselves and asked how she was doing. She began
to cry and told us that she has been going through a really rough time
in her life. She explained what was going on and we sat down
and talked with her for a little bit. We shared some scriptures with
her and invited her to read the Book of Mormon. Afterward she explained
to us that we were a miracle to her and that she needed to hear what
we had to say. I truly believe that Heavenly Father put us there at
that exact moment that she needed us. I know that Heavenly Father is
aware of us and is always by our side. The Holy Ghost is always there
to help us and guide us in our lives. It's so important to constantly
be in tune with the spirit and be worthy to have it. I know with
all my heart that God has a plan for each and every one of us! He
loves me and each and every one of you! The Book of Mormon is the
Word or God. I have gained such an understanding of it and have come
to truly know my Savior Jesus Christ more fully. I love being a
missionary and sharing all that I know to be true with these wonderful
people! I hope you all know how much I love each and every one of you!
Have a great week!
