hermana marler (the presidents wife) is going to come with us on a lesson. hermana marlers grand son just died. he is two. and she just got back. our investigator, rosio, just suffered the death of her two year old son. he fell from teh third floor of house at his birthday party. then at the funeral of her son someone told her that this was punishment for a sin.
broke my heart. i am so grateful for the gospal. for hte plan of salvation. i know htat hermana marler will be able to give her such awesome advice and comfort through the scriptures and her testimony.
i am so grateful for the knowledge that i have. i know that GOd does not punish. i know htat he may withold blessings, but he does not punish. i know that we may suffer the consequences of our actions from disobedience, but GOD DOES NOT PUNISH! and i hope that throught he perspective of the gospal, she will find that there are miracles hidden amongst our trials. i hope that she will come to unerstand that her baby boy has already achieved salvation. now she has to do her part and achieve what her son already has. to be with him agian one day.
im excited for this lesson. its worht the sacrivice of a p day.
this week we had DOUBLE MEETINGS! had no idea. supposedly a sister training leader is like the zone leader for the sisters. so we have to go to all the same meetings as our ZLs. this picture is of all the sister leaders in the mission after meeting we go play sports and eat lunch in the mission home. its awesome! then we had a meeting witht he stake presdient, and i have a reputation for putting on activities after my Parque Grande FHE so now im a sister leader guess who is in charge of hte STAKE activity..... ya. this girl.
its gonna rock. i have a few ideas stewing up in my brain.
funny story.
we are teaching our Dueña (house owner? idk in english...) her name is Luci. and she is a funny lady, this week we asked her to bring her bible and her book of mormon for hte lesson. she said "ill bring my bom,. but i cant touch my bible".... i was so confused. like did i interprerate wrong or something? no.... we asked "hermana lucy. why cant you touch our bible?" she replied "cause im on my period" like duh. no one should touch the bible when they are on their period.... i said "hermana luci. who told you that?" she said "the bible says!" i said "hermana lucy,. where in the bible does it say that? " she said "i dont know..." well. maybe its there, i dont know but hten i replied (trying with all my might not to laugh out loud" "well hermana, i dont know where it says that but i know that I NEED the bible EVEN MORE when im on MY period....and my companions can attest to that...." then we started the lesson with the good old book of mormon. but it made me even more grateful for the RESTORED gospal. the TRUE CHURCH! with the things that REALLY matter.
well.
thats the latest and greatest. we are doing our best to get Suley, luis, and lucy progressing. they are tough cookies. but its coming
thank you for your love and your prayers.
