Hola everyone!!
This week was interesting!! Hermana Alvarez and I have been
trying to work with the members here and motivate them to get involved with the
work. So we have a goal to visit one
family every day to share a scripture and motivate them. This will also help with
our work here when they start to trust us more.
Small miracles every day!! For example, we have this one
family that we are teaching, Familia Cruz, the husband is a member but he was
married before. So, he has to get divorced before he can marry his wife (girlfriend)
he is living with now so that they can get married so that she can get
baptized. The divorce was almost finished before I got there and the crazy
thing is that the Hermana before forgot the name of the lawyer that is working
with them. But the huge blessing is that I received and email from Hermana
Calderon telling me that her first companion remembered the name of the lawyer
and had the number for us! Such a huge blessing because that is almost complete
and then we can start helping them with their wedding.
Another thing that I have learned is that the Lord puts you
exactly in the path of others that need you. For example Saturday night we were
going to go visit an investigator but I had the feeling that we should go and
try and visit another investigator. What happened was that we ran into a woman
with her baby. She was crying and looked really lost. Turns out the father of
the baby and who she’s living with at the moment ran off with all of their
money for the week to go and get drunk. It was because he got angry at her
suggestion that if he wanted more money he should work a little more. One of
the young women in our ward walked up at that moment too. She gave her all of
her money that she was going to give to pay for tithing and we said a prayer
together. We walked her to her mom’s
house and we invited her to come to church with us. Even though she didn’t come
we were able to help her and give her comfort. She lives in one of our areas
and one of our investigators knows her so we are going to go and find
her.
I love you all so much!! Be aware of the Spirit and try to
listen at all times... sometimes we may not hear it because we aren’t paying
enough attention. Slow down and stop and listen and feel. The spirit will guide
you in all of your paths and the Lord will be able to use you as an instrument
in his hands!!
Lots of love!!
Hermana Reed
