THIS WEEK WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanksgiving was so much fun! The C.’s invited all of the missionaries that live close by to their house to celebrate Thanksgiving. We were able to go over and have a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. We ate sweet potatoes and stuffing, turkey and ham, rolls and everything else you can imagine. It was so fun! We also played games and it was so so great!
Then, we went and spent the rest of the night with the L.’s. This was not the most traditional Thanksgiving dinner but it was SO good. We ate mole and posole, tamales and tacos de lengua. Then we enjoyed some tres leches and flan :) It was so much fun being with them and all of their extended family. I was SO tired by the end of the day. I have been falling asleep during lessons with my eyes wide open. haha.
We had a huge miracle this week. There is a less active sister that everybody has been asking us to get in contact with, but that is impossible to contact. We have been trying the whole 3 months I have been here. Well, we decided to stop by this week. She wasn’t home :( The people she lives with said they had no idea when she would be back. Then, we decided we would stop by the hotel she works at. We get to the hotel and they told us that she had left just 5 minutes before we got there. We went to the car and we KNEW that that day we were going to find her. We said a super sincere prayer with a lot a lot of faith. Called her, and... SHE ANSWERED!!!! She had just gotten home and invited us over right then! It was a miracle to say the least!
Yesterday was def def the highlight of our week though. So, the english sisters are teaching the most amazing girl named J. J. is getting baptized at the beginning of the year and is the sweetest, best, most wonderful 17 year old. Well, J.’s mom doesn’t speak English. So, Hermana Tuttle and I were brought into the whole situation. M. is super cute and she as well, wants to learn more about what J. believes and why she is getting baptized. She wants to understand the rules etc. So, we have started teaching M., J.’s mom, and D., her step dad. Yesterday though, J. came to the branch and she LOVED it! L., our other investigator, came to church as well. She brought her son who had the time of his life in Primary! L. was participating in all of the classes and was so so comfortable with everyone. She loved it :)
Hermana B., a less active we are working with came and so did Z. They are really good friends. Neither of them have been in a while. They both decided to come on the same day and when they saw each other they were so excited and started freaking out! It was so fun :)
I found the absolute BEST scripture this week! 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness . Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities , in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions , in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak , then am I strong.
This scripture really helped me out. I have come to realized that I am a big perfectionist. I don’t like messing up, I want to be perfect and make everyone proud and happy all of the time. This scripture really got to me and it felt like Heavenly Father was speaking directly to me. I am grateful for the strength of Christ. I am grateful for my weaknesses which allow me to depend on Him. I am grateful for you all, my fam fam! I am excited to see you in 2 weeks :)
