Week 66

 January 5, 2015

Friends & Family,

What? It's already 2015? Time seriously just flies by... All of my days just run together.... haha  

New years was good!! Nothing special happened, which I was kind of sad.. but it's okay. What can I expect I'm a missionary. haha! :) 

So one of our investigators is set to get baptized on the 24 of January, I am hoping that is still the case. She is amazing!! :) 

This week I experienced a hard trial for me. This less active we have been seeing told us that she didn't want us to come over anymore... We talked to her some more and she just wasn't interested anymore. My heart broke.. I love this lady. I loved visiting her every week. On our way home that I night I just starting crying. I was so frustrated.. and upset. I can't imagine the love our Heavenly Father has for ALL of his children. I am so hurt by this one lady but Heavenly Father experiences this every day, watching his kids walk away. It's sad. But it comforts me to know, even though His children go astray He still loves them! 

On a random note, on the way home from that less actives house we went to go get gas. So I get out of the car at the gas station, and music was playing... and the song was, "Don't you worry child." It was funny cause I was sitting there FULL of emotions and didn't know what to do and I was just praying that I will not be upset about it... and then that song came on. haha Tender mercies. :)   

This may be a small and simple experience but it is meant a lot to me.  It's about recognizing God in your life. Even if they are small, but another experience this week was, we were texting a member and I understood what the text said but it made NO sense... That night I was so frustrated... (it's obviously in Spanish) It was a bad day then I come home and I am so confused about this text message... I went in my room... and cried... ( I know, sounds dumb... but I was FRUSTRATED!!!!! and the only person I wanted to talk to was my Heavenly Father)  and I prayed to God.. to help me. After my prayer... I got up off my knees and the member we were texting called. So I answered. Everything was so clear after that. It seriously was an answer to my prayer!!!!!! I love my Heavenly Father and I have SUCH a strong testimony that we can pray and ask him for ANYTHING... and I promise he will answer!!!!!! 

It is so funny.. I can't even talk in English.. Okay I can, but it's HARD. My thought process is in Spanish now. Whenever I am trying to talk in English.. Spanish words come to my mind. hahaha it is hilarious. I love Spanish so much and I am so happy that I have the chance to learn this beautiful language. :) 

Gracias por todo y estoy muy agrecido por la opertunidad a servir nuestro Salvador. 
Guarda la fe. cuidense MUCHO
