This week has been just a crazy week! I can't even believe that it is finally over. I feel like so many things happened!
To start out, our baptism with Ilse. We got a call on Tuesday morning saying that she had talked to her mom to invite her to the baptism and her mom felt that it was WAY too soon to be getting baptized and Ilse felt like she agreed. Man, it felt like we had been dumped. It was so hard! We got on our knees and prayed to see what the Lord needed us to do. Then on Wednesday we fasted to know what to do. On Thursday we had a lesson with her and wow. It was the most amazing, spiritual, wonderful, etc, lesson I have ever been in in my whole entire life! It honestly felt like Heavenly Father was standing in the room guiding the lesson. It went nothing like what we had planned but it addressed every single one of her needs and feelings. It turns out she didn't feel any support. She still didn't know anyone in the ward and her family wasn't supporting her in this decision. We talked to her a lot about that and through the spirit she was able to feel like that baptism is what she really needs to do. On Saturday afternoon she got baptized. Her parents didn't come but one of her sisters came to support her. Her niece even said that she wants to get baptized as well! It was a spiritual baptism and I could not have been a happier missionary at that time. Also, Her mom came to church on Sunday to be there when she got the gift of the Holy Ghost. MIRACLE! She loved it and she might come back... wow. The Lord knows what He is doing!
On Friday we had interviews with President Van Cott and it was a great experience as well! He helped me understand a lot more about sealings. Also, we talked about the Book of Mormon and different ways to read it so that we can get different things out of it. It was so cool! It left me ready to get back to work!
Yesterday for P-day we played basketball with the young women in the ward and the other Spanish sisters in our stake. It was a blast and then Elise and Zoram took us to the circus. It was so cool!!! It was such a fun p-day and the circus was also cool because it is a family. The family has been doing the circus for over 40 years so they made it family friends, perfect for missionaries!
Other than that, I hope you all know that this church is true. I have such a strong testimony of the work that I am doing. I hope that you can all feel the love of our savior in your lives. I also challenge you to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. Even if you already have, do it again! It never hurts to reconfirm that testimony! I love you all so much!!!
