Week 22 - 5 Months!

Hola Everyone.

This week has been good. Not a whole lot happened and we are still having such a hard time finding people to teach because everyone is rejecting us right now - even our investigators. But, I've seen such a huge miracle this week that I want to share! Also, I hope you've all had an amazing week and I hope that you all remember how important missionary work really is and it can't happen without amazing members like all of you!

Anyways, my short experience. So the sister that I told you about last week - Hermana Geo - who hasn't attended church in over a year. She came to church this week!!!! I was so dang excited and my heart just rejoiced. What a blessing that was for us! We've been working with her every single week since I got here and I finally got to see her come to church. It was seriously so amazing!!! I know it doesn't sound like a huge miracle, but it really was - especially for me and my companion.

I don't have a whole lot to share this week, but I want to challenge you all to read Jacob 5 and ponder it. It's insane. I've literally been studying that chapter this entire past week. The other day I studied hard for one hour. Before my mission, I never really knew what it meant to study the scriptures, but this chapter was killing me. I couldn't understand it. So I read to about verse 30 and didn't understand anything, so I started again using the footnotes and help from my companion. I learned how amazing this chapter truly is and how much power it contains.

Anyways, I love you all so much and I hope you have an amazing week!!
