Here is my week: on thursday we had dinner planning on
teaching a 21 yr old man who is living with him member father and step mom. He
wasn't there, but we were talking to her about a sister in the ward who she is
good friends with who is having a hard time. This sister's 18 yr old daughter
died in a horrible car crash in February the day after she got engaged to a
wonderful young man in our ward. They were supposed to get married this
last Saturday. The mom has been having such a hard time with it, but she
still comes to church for her kids. After dinner I asked if we could go visit
her, and so we did. When we got there she was so happy to see us, and we talked
for a while. It turns out that the night before she had been talking to her
husband who is in the bishopbric, and he told her to just have faith, and she
said it was too hard. Then, the day we came over, he and the boys were out
working, her daughters left to play with friends, and she was praying so hard
because she didn't want to be alone, she didn't think she could handle it. Less
than 5 minutes after she finished the prayer, we knocked on her door. She
started to cry and said we were her angels that God sent to help her. I felt so
humbled and thankful that we were able to listen to the spirit and help her
when she was at her worst moment.
Next, on Friday we were teaching a family, and a young man
named Manuel lives with them, so he joined us. The mom shut down as soon as we
brought out the BoM, and wouldn't listen anymore. But Manuel loved what we
talked about, he committed to be baptized! but he's not on date yet. He came to
church on Sunday and really liked it! We're going to go see him again on
Wednesday, so that will be great!
Sunday night we had a lesson with Rudolfo (the 21 yr old who
didn't show for dinner) finally. We've been waiting on that one for a month. We
did a small FHE with the whole family, and we taught the restoration. The
spirit was so strong! He was interested in hearing more, so we're going back
there this week too. Right before we left, his step-mom came and thanked us,
she said it was good for Rudolfo, and for her husband, who is less-active. She
almost cried. It was such a great week!
