"There's
not a ton of news this week. We had a meeting in Santo Domingo one day
and an intercambio in Hato Mayor another day. So we didn't have as much
proselyting time as usual.
But, Miriam
accepted a date for the 11th of July, AND she set goals to quit
smoking. It was fantastic.
She was a
contact. We taught her lesson 1, her pregnant daughter got really sick, and she
was out of town for about a month. But now she is back with a miracle
granddaughter, and she's so receptive.
We were
worried about how she'd react to the word of wisdom, but when she read the 5
things we should avoid, she just said, "tobacco, coffee, tea. . . I need
to quit those." So we put goals, and we've been passing daily to check up.
She didn't
come to church on Sunday because her daughter had another health
scare ;( Pray for her daughter, please!
Also, pray for
Leoncito, Altagracia, and Margarita! (Two of whom came to church!!!)
One of the
highlights of the week was when we were coming home from our leadership meeting on
Wednesday with President and the zone leaders, and president said,
"Elders and sisters, we need to discuss a couple things before the
meeting. And I think we should do it at Burger King." I got a
[caramel] sundae ;)"
Thank you
Hermana Collins for writing my weekly update. When you do everything together,
there isn't much different to report. She got a chocolate sundae though, one
difference.
My testimony
grew today.
Listen to me,
Heavenly Father knows what is best.
I got to see a
happy ending in my personal life where steps of faith led to
knowledge. When we do what He says and want what He wants... it really turns
out to be better than we could have written or dreamed ourselves.
I am filled
with a happy that doesn't have words. And assigned to a work that doesn't have
limits.
I love
everyone!
Hermana
