This week was so great! Yesterday President Felix and his wife came to our ward to visit the missionaries. They are so loving and really take care of us.
This week we were able to find lots of people. We went to visit Lilian, Hermana Ruboy had given her a Book of Mormon a few months ago but she said she wasn't interested. But when we went to visit her she told us that she has been reading the the Book of Mormon with her children. We were so happy. We wanted to talk with her more but she had things to do so we are going to visit her this week to see what she thinks about the scriptures.
We also went to visit Alejandra again. We taught her the Plan of Salvation and she loved it. I feel like she already knows these things because whatever we teach her she agrees with it. I know that the Lord has prepared her. At the end I testified that I know that the Plan of Salvation is perfect and I know that we are going to be with our families and that I am going to meet my grandpa who died many years ago and she started to cry and she said that she knows that she will get to see her grandparents again as well. It was a very special moment.
This week we did a lot of service for Hermana Pettit. She is less active and we go to see her everyday to read the scriptures with her son Shane but this week we have been helping her clean her house and water her garden because she is sick and her back has been hurting her a lot. We picked lemons from her garden and we also cleaned her car....2 times. I got to clean the tires. I love to be able to help and serve people all the time. She always thanks us for the spirit that we bring to her home and I makes me happy to know that she can feel the spirit every time that we go. Finally we got to teach Shane the first discussion and he loved it. Even though he grew up in the church he told us that he really enjoys learning the basics and the foundation of the church. We are going to continues the discussion this week.
Also, this week we ate with the Berry family, and they live on Raspberry Lane, and we got to eat Berry Pie! It was so delicious!
Thank you for all your prayers. We can feel them all the time. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to serve the Lord and be part of this wonderful work. I know that the Lord is preparing people for us to meet and there are so many people ready to hear the Gospel. This week I am studying 1 Nephi 9:6, "He prepareth a way to accomplish all his works." What a privilege to be an instrument in His hands for this work.
I love you all and you all are in my prayers.
Picking lemons!
Us with Shane
Another Sunday :)
