Another hard
week with some very beautiful miracles. My companion has continued to feel
really sick, and something really, really weird happened. I got pegged with
insomnia. Like I couldn’t sleep at all. I thought I was relaxed and I did
everything to help me relax, but I just could not sleep. It was so weird. I seriously
did everything humanly possible within the limits of the mission to try to help
me sleep. I actually got to a point where I could not think at all, I couldn’t communicate
or understand in Spanish, not even in English. It was really trying and really tough
for me because I could just feeling the pressure of trying to be physically okay
and as well trying to keep our work and the area afloat - two companions who aren’t
okay physically does NOT WORK at all. And it was tough for the both of us
knowing that we couldn’t do much.
The thing is
this: even though we were not completely okay physically the Lord continued to
work. We actually found someone very amazing and we are so happy. His name is
Rodolfo. He is a recently married father with a small child. He is also an
evangelical (I dunno if that was correct English spelling). But what’s so
interesting is that we talked to him and he shared with us that he knows that
the church of Christ should not have people asking for tithing and offerings
for their own personal gain, and he doesn’t like that. He also said he really admires
our mission work we do, so we ended up talking a bit about Christ’s church and
we challenged him to baptism. He accepted!! We are going to see him later today
and hopefully meet his wife too. J
Alexander
came to church!! Alone!!! It was awesome. Really lifted up my spirits. Right
now his challenge is gaining a testimony of Joseph Smith, and we are helping
him little by little. He has a baptismal date for the 24th this month.
I love this
work!!! With one year down I can’t believe how fast time flies. I am so
grateful for all of the experiences that come with being a missionary. The
trials can be turned into blessings in the future and the experiences we have
now will prepare us for the future!!!
Love,
Hermana Reed
