Week 15
This week we had quite a few miracles. Our pescando time, a time where we only contact and strengthen members for an hour during our day is really paying off. On Thursday we had a lesson with a less active member who we haven't been able to contact for some time. And as my comp blessed their house, the spirit was so strong. Also on Thursday, we went looking for another less active member. We knew the general area where her business was, and we found it! We bought ice cream from her daughter and then as we were singing a Christmas Carol in what was probably 70 degree weather her mom came out. After we finished, she invited us in and she let us share a Christmas message. I love sharing our Christmas message because really the message is that Christ should be the most important thing in our lives.
In my reading of the Book of Mormon this week I was in Mormon. In these chapters, the power of God is no longer on the earth. In chapter 2, Mormon leads the Nephites into battle and "did beat them; nevertheless the strength of the Lord was not with us; yea, we were left to ourselves, that the spirit of the Lord did not abide abide us." We can still have success and be happy in our lives without the gospel of Jesus Christ. But as Mormon said, we are weak like unto our brethren. Our lives need Christ to have true and lasting joy! I am so thankful for the gift of the Holy Ghost that testifies of Christ in our lives. As we repent, we will feel the spirit as we are cleansed because the spirit only dwells in holy places.
Now back to the week: Sunday was another crazy day! First, Josefa came to church again and this time there was confusion with coordinating a ride so she just walked the 45 minutes to church! Then we got transfer calls. What was crazy was that we were with other hermanas in our tibas area when they got the call. One of them is leaving, and the other is staying in Tibas 2 and her new companion is Hermana Warburton. Haha, so I'm moving from Tibas 1 to Tibas 2. Which means that I will no longer be teaching Josefa. We're sad about that. But I'll still be with all the people and members I love here for Christmas. And I will have a native speaker! I'm confident that this transfer is where I need to go. It's where the Lord is calling me!
Mucho amor,
Hermana Warburton
