I will start out this letter by saying HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! Thanks for everything you do :)
I have some horrible news... Hermana Tinti and I are getting separated and I am being sent to Frederick :( I am not really excited... I only had 2 and a half months here in Annapolis. I have grown SUPER close to my companion and to all of the people in our branch. I have grown extra close to our investigators. There is so much progress and so many things happening. WHY DO TRANSFERS HAPPEN!?
We had an amazing week! It really was super good and we had so much help from the members! A., our investigator, has been going back and forth and back and forth about baptism. She wants to prepare more and feels like she will fall and mess up after baptism. We read talks and explained, bore testimony and did everything we could to help A. understand. Yesterday, she took us outside and told us that she is planning to be baptized in early July!!! So I will get to come back to Annapolis for that :)
Another amazing cita we had was with J! We met him on the street and went back to visit him a few days later. When we started the cita, he told us that he wasn’t interested in finding a church, that he hadn’t felt the spirit etc. etc. We asked him to pray at the end of the lesson and half way through the prayer he stopped. We were worried, but as we started to talk with him, he told us that he stopped praying because he had this warm, burning feeling inside of him and he knew that Dios estaba con nosotros! SO COOL!!!
My year mark was super interesting. We spent the morning by going to doctors appointments. Hermana Tinti got TB from a member in the branch, so we were taking care of that during the week. We also ate some chicken heart soup.
This week was a little hard for me towards the end, just because I was feeling a little helpless. Our investigators have so many trials, so many things they are facing, and I didn’t know what I could possibly do to help them. Some of them are being abused by their butt head husbands, marriage issues, families disowning them etc etc. I am just a barely 20 year old girl from Provo, UT. What could I possibly do or say to help them? How could I let them know that I love them? I was talking with Hna. Tinti and it all just clicked. I can’t relate. I have never been abused by someone, I am not married and I have a very loving family. But, I have experienced my own trials and there is one thing that I do know! I know that the gospel of Jesucristo can help ANYONE in EVERY situation!
LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
