Hi my loved ones! Sending you greetings!
Well, it's that time again for Transfers!! I know! I can't believe it either! These last 6 weeks have gone by so fast. I have bad news.....I am leaving Santa Maria again! :( I am so sad to leave all the people that I love and my companion, but I know that it is what the Lord needs and I should be obedient. So, my new area will be Camarillo, and I will be serving the 5th Ward in Oxnard with Hermana Brown!! I am so excited to finally get to work with her!
This past week was full of SO many miracles and special moments. I want to share two experiences. Okay! So, yesterday we went with some members to see a new investigator that we just barely met last week. We got there, but no one was home. But since we had our member with us we wanted to use them so we decided to go visit Jose and Amalia (They have told us that they will come to church, but they haven't yet). So we wanted to go and see why they haven't come. We got to their house and we knocked and knocked but they didn't open the door. After the third knock, we saw a light turn on and Amalia opened the door. She was talking to us at the door and it was so cold, but she didn't invite us in. I was praying that she would let us in so we could share a short message with them. After a little while, Jose came and said, "it's cold out there, come in!" Si!! We went in and since there were 6 of us there wasn't enough chairs, so Hermana Jeronimo and I shared one. Kennya and Brad (the members) were talking and asking Jose about his accident and then Brad said, "Brother, can we give you a blessing?" and Jose said, "Well some elders gave me a blessing already in the hospital" and Brad said, "it's ok, brother we can give you another one." Jose accepted. Brad gave him a blessing so great and special. I don't know if it is because the house is so small or what, but the Spirit was so strong there in that room. When he finished the blessing, we were all in tears. Seeing Jose and Amalia you could see that the Spirit really touched their hearts and I know that Jose felt the great love of our Heavenly Father for him. Then we had a really great lesson guided by the Holy Ghost. I am so thankful for the perfect plan of our Heavenly Father. I know that part of that plan was that our investigator wasn't home because we had to go see Jose and Amalia.
I am so thankful for the Spirit that really is what teaches others.
Ok, one more miracle really fast!! This week while teaching Luis about the gospel of Jesus Christ, we stopped in the middle of teaching about baptism and he told us that he has been praying and that he wants to be baptized the 28th of November! It is so incredible to see someone that is so ready and that has been prepared by the Lord to be baptized.
I am so sad to leave but at the same time I am so thankful for the love of our Heavenly Father for the opportunity He has given me to be here these last few weeks and see so many miracles.
I love you all so much and I hope that you all have a great week!
