had a great week. this week we saw some beautiful miracles. and prepared an awesome christmas song for the christmas program- hna downs is very very talented! and it is an honor to be her companion. also, hna flores is so patient with us as she heard the same two songs over and over again. bless her heart. we love her. she is wonderful! we auditionioned our song this morning for the presidents wife and she LOVED IT! she said we are in for sure. she also had me audition solo. she might use me for something. yay. ALSO she mentioned that the christmas program is the biggest concert on trujillo! and last year they had 7000 attend the Plaza de Almas just to hear the missionaries. AND they invited the Arc bishop of the catholic church.... WHAT!!! ask me if im nervous, CAUSE I AM! anyways.
also this week, my faith was strengthened. there was a family in the ward that the elders ran into durring alzar la voz that said they would like a visit from the missionaries. so this week we stopped by and found a grateful mother and her 8 year old son. she asked us to bless her home. she then explained that she feels uncomfortable in her own home. especially at night, and she often feels like there is something watching her. and she lives in "temor". she also told us about her trials that she and her family is going through. she compared herself to Job. you know its bad when they compare themselves to job. so we did as she asked. we asked her to use all her faith. we shared a scripture about faith. about how faith will give you POWER to do what ever is expedient of the Lord. we asked her to use all her faith. and to pray for hna downs as she gave the prayer. i did the same. the feelings that followed are hard to explain. she prayed very clearly and slow listening to the spirit. at the same time, i was offering a prayer in my heart. i realize that as missionaries we have a power and an authority, and i asked my Heavenly Father to show me what my power and authority can do. I also said, "Father in heaven, please fill this home with your angels and with your light." and as soon as i said it, the exact same words came out of hna downs mouth. the. same. words. i knew right then there was a special spirit with us. that it was doing its job of cleaning out the bad spirits. of filling that home with a different power. she blessed h e home and it was a powerful blessing. i dont remember everything she said. but its not important cause it was of the spirit. and it was powerful and the spirit did its job. i could tell she was more at peace and so was her 8 year old son. it was amazing. God showed me what power we have.
also, general conference was awesome! saturday morning we got a call that said we had to find an investigator or MA to bring to the session. we got this call about 30 minutes before it was time to go. and we were not prepred. so we prayed really hard and went out looking. we knocked on abu t 8 doors, and called 8 more people, i spent 5.00 on phone calls! and nobody. so we decided, we did our best and went to the chapel. we got there and we were determined to be exactly obedient and find SOMEBODY! we did some awesome contacting. great referrals, but still nobody. i finally said "ok Heavenly Father, i have done my best! let me know if i need to keep trying, or if i can go in now!" and as soon as i finished, i saw a joven walking towards us, and almost out of spite, i approached him and asked him his name and if we could have an hour of his time and show him what was so special inside that chappel. hes began to hesitate and before he could finish we just started walking in. and he followed! we got in there just intime to hear Hna Carol Stevens give a discurso about priesthood! perfect for this kid. he stayed for a few talks, longer than i thought and he left. and we got his information. awesome! God hears and answers prayers. he is aware of his missionaries. and it was an awesome experience.
lost my planner this week. ok now THATS the END OF THE WORLD for a missionary. just saying. especially if you are the senior comp.... ok my WHOLE LIFE is in that thing! references, phone numbers, citas for next week (that means appointments) addresses..... i feel like i failed. i have prayed over that dumb book. cant find it anywhere. i think its gods way of telling me to calm it down a bit and quit over working your comps..... oops. but its ok. all is well,.
just keep going forward,
ALSO gen. conf. ok i never thought i{d look forward or enjoy something so boring SO MUCH ever in my whole life! and i worked my tail off to attend! it was beautifl . saturday was my favorite. let me share some things i loved
when you magnify your calling, you bless your family. its true for missionaries and for every calling in the church. so if you want more family unity and blessings,
magnify your calling. ALSO one friend to be baptised before christmas. IM HOLDING ALL OF YOU ACCOUNTABLE!
con amor
