Hello family! Sending you lots of hellos from Lompoc and happy May! I can't believe that we are already in May. I feel like just last week was Christmas. But oh well. I hope that you are all enjoying all of the blessings that our Heavenly Father has for you.
This week was so good, like always :)
We had exchanges and I got to work with Hermana Costilla this time! And we stayed in Lompoc. Well, we went to Solvang for the day and it was so cool to be there again. Since we live in Lompoc now, we don't get to go there very often. But we found a family from Honduras that are so cool! The mother, Berta, was already being taught by some missionaries a year ago, but when they moved, she lost contact with the missionaries. Her and her children have a great desire to follow Christ and do what He want for them.
We have a less active member, Tomas, that we went to visit and told us that he wants to go back to the Catholic church because he's not sure if he still has a testimony. We had a really spiritual and good discussion with him about prayer and how our Heavenly Father answers prayers. We are planning on teaching the discussions again. We hope that this will help him a lot.
On Sunday, some 8 year old twins got baptized and that was their birthday. The missionary who baptized their mom 2 years ago, came to baptize the girls. It was so cool to be there and see how much the members love the missionaries who serve there. Even 2 years ago. And also to see the love this brother has for each one of the members.
Okay, to finish, yesterday we went to the Uribe's house and they had their family there. Hermano Uribe was with the family outside and we were inside with Hermana Uribe, her daughter Lili, and some of the daughter's friends. We had a really cool discussion about the weaknesses that our Father in Heaven gives us, and about the trials that we face and how we can face them with the help of our Father in Heaven. It was super cool!
I want to finish with a scripture that our District leader Elder Lee sent us after a really hard day, it is D&C 112:10-11
10 Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers.
11 I know thy heart, and have heard thy prayers concerning thy brethren. Be not partial towards them in love above many others, but let thy love be for them as for thyself; and let thy love abound unto all men, and unto all who love my name.
He didn't know that it had been a hard day or anything, but I am greatful to have leaders so inspired like him, Presidente Felix, and our Hermanas Trainers.Thank you for everything thing, and don't forget to call your mothers to tell them thank you for giving you life and for all that they do for you :) I love you all!
