Milagros Existen

dear all,

 

Its been an outstanding week! its been a hard week getting back in the groove of missionary work and working hard. but we are getting there. first of all, 
WE FOUND A HOME!!! i never thought i would be so relieved. now dont get me wrong, slumber parties at your house was a blast! and very warm and comfortable. and it was hard to leave. but it was nice to finally find a place and have less stress. its like a burden has been lifted. it was fun making a room become a home. moving in, putting up pix of christ, and having the elders bless our room. its amazing how you can change something ordinary into something spiritual. like the lives of our investigators.  and our personal lives. 

¨(sigh of relief.) yay!

second, i had an amazing experience this week. we had cambios with hna skirvin and she was such a blessing to have with us. i love her a lot. i know she has been struggling with feelings of inadequacy, and insecurities and has asked to go home a few times. so we are doing our best to keep her here.

well, this day while it was me, hna flores and hna skirvin, we were teaching a lady named Romi, a reference form alzar la voz. she is awesome .she loves God, and has a special love for the bible. she loves comparing the mormon doctorine to what she studies and she calls herself a missionary too. well we were teaching her and giving a great lesson about the Book of Mormon, we had one prepared to give her with hna flores{s testimony written in it and everything. but, durring this lessons, there was banging, construction going upstares! and i thought, Heavenly Father, how can we bring the spirit if there is all this ruckus going on! 

then, i remembered how i studied about our Power and Authority this morning during my personal study, and the story of hna downs came to mind, and i have been praying that Heavenly Father will show hna skirivin some miracles durring her time with us. if not for me, for her. and i thought, i can stop the noise. i am a missionary for God! 

so in my mind i said " in the Name of Jesus Christ, stop the banging." it hit a few more times, and i thought, guess i need more faith. so i did it agian, with more faith and less doubt, "in the name of Jesus Christ, stop the banging now. we need to spirit." 

there were two more clangs, and it stopped. and hna skirvin gave an outstanding testimony of the Book of Mormon. it was PERFECT!!  and we finished a good lesson. now we just pray she comes to church with us this week.

 

i was also asked to speak in church this week. and i changed my talk at the last minute! the thoughts came to me as i was walking up to the stand. there is this little blind girl in my texas ward that i heard gave an outstanding talk, and in the beginning of her talk, she just stood at the pulpate. for a long time with out talking. after a while she said, do you feel uncomfortable? good. cause that is how Heavenly Father feels when we dont talk to Him.

 

i did the exact same thing. every one was looking at me so wierd.... they were so confused. it was kind of funny. but it got the point across. i taked about how each member should be praying. should be praying for miracles. miracles to spread the gospal. and if they do that, and they communicate with their father in heaven, he will guide them to someone who needs the gospal. and i re extended elder perrys challenge he gave in conference about finding just one before chirstmas.

i feel like i did a good job. i got the point acorss. and i might have cried a littlebit. it was a good week.

 

the church is still true. this is the last week of this transfer and i PRAY they dont change me. i am getting along with my companions so well, i want to see our investigators through to the end, i jsut pray i stay. pray with me! i LOVE el bosque. we get the call friday night and change saturday. :( i hate cambios.

 

well thats the latest ad greatest.

love you all a lot xox
