Hola!!!!
No way the ward there is the highest baptising in the
mission!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats so awesome!!! I bet the work is just growing
like crazy there and just like you said, keep working hard and helping
all the new members. Their testimonies are there, but they just need to
keep strengthening them always. It was so hot this week! One day it was
47 C with the hunidity factored in. Do you know what that feels like? Sticky and sweaty and there is no way to stop it. There was also a moment of
such selfless giving. A member brought us into her house and gave us
buckets of water for our feet and for our hands and face. It's somthing
that I'll never forget as these memebers gave everything they could
because they know what it's like not to have much. They give with so
much love it really is amazing.
We're working with a girl named Evangelina and we really want to
baptise her this week. She is 21 and has 4 kids so it's hard sometimes
to get her to church because they all start crying for her. But we
talked with her and she really has a pure desire to follow the example
of our Savior. In her family, they really are looking for a better life
and a new start and it's exactly what our Savior offers. A chance to
change and become the person we've always wanted to be, or better as our
Heavenly Father has wanted us to be. We also worked with a girl named
Micol. She is 18 and studying at the university here. She has been coming
to church for almost a year but her parents won't let her get baptised.
She's hoping that when she goes home for chirstmas break she'll be able
to talk and explain it better to her parents. She is such a sweet
heart.
I was out working with a member and we were contacting someone
(where you just stop them in the street and teach them/ invite them to
hear more) I talked about the eternal families and then they started
talking and going off about the mormons and all this stuff and I was
just listening and then she stopped and I looked at her and said well
we're mormons hahahahahaha her eyes got so big, I just testified of the
truth that we share. It was just super funny to see her reaction I
wasn't offened by anything she had said but I just wanted her to make
sure she could feel the spirit as I would testify. I love teaching and
testifying, it just fills my soul with fullfillment. It doesn't matter
what they say to us I just love feeling the spirit work through me as I
testify. It's amazing try it sometime. Just testify of a simple truth of
the gospel as you teach or talk to people. They will feel it, and so will
you.
I hope you all have a wonderful week. I love you all and pray for you all always.
Love Hna Potrie
