so here is my companions letter for this week...
This week was the most stressful week of my entire mission. We had missionary week! In the mission it is harder to balance activites at church EVERY SINGLE DAY and on top of that work really hard to see miracles! We were able to do it and were so dead yesterday! haha
Just as it was such a stressful week, it was such a week of miracles. So, many miralces. It was so sweet to see the members get in their missionary spirit and bring investigators each day to activites. Of course, like always Satan was always there and we had so many hardships everyday. There was some support from the members and in some part there wasn't support. So, On Sunday we had an inventory with the bishopric. We prayed a lot to know what it is that we needed to talk about with the bishopric, and this meeting was so so so spiritual. We were able to unite as one with our bishopric. We were able to establish goals and share experiences and at the end of the meeting; my companion, Hna Morris, the bishop and his counselors and I knelt in the bishops room to end with a closing prayer. The spirit was so strong and as the bishop prayed for us by name; the room was filled with a burning in the bosom feeling. It was so filling. The captains of this ward and Christ´s soldiers were knelt down as one, unitying to help our Father in Heaven. Tears filled our eyes as we shook hands and we knew with all certainty that Heavenly Father was pleased.
We witnessed another miracle. We came back to church to meet members to divide and conquer. But it all fell through, so we decided to invite people to see the church inside. So, I go up to this man and he was so scared haha and he said no. So i talked to this lady passing by. We present ourselves and ask if she wants to listen and guess what she says? She says, "i HAVE always wanted to see inside." So we take her in and it is so spiritual. We arrive to the sacrament room and we sing her a hymn and we start testifying and she starts telling us that she has been looking for the truth for forever and that is the reason why she fell away from all churches. She said that she wanted to come to church and that she was going to read and pray. We asked her to offer the last prayer and in her prayer she said that she wanted to know if this was the truth and if she should be baptized on December 3rd. She thanked Heavenly Father for putting us in her path and that she had had such a hard week and she was grateful for this gift.
As much as ye shall put your trust in God even so much ye shall be delivered out of your trials, and your troubles, and your afflictions, and ye shall be lifted up at the last day. Alma 36:3
We experienced all this, this week. It is so simple. Put your trust in God, and we will be lifted up in the last day. He is all powerful and He created us with His perfect hands, He knows best.
