Week 34
I hope everyone enjoyed Pascua yesterday. I am thankful that this week I could study even more about the last week of the life of Christ and understand what he has done for us.
After my interview with President this week, I learned that it's not just us who think this area is hard. The members are so nice and great and the people we are teaching are great too, it is just hard to find the people who are really ready to follow Christ.
This week we saw that the Lord was preparing us to share his message with people so that when we came in intact with them we would know the message we were going to share. And that message is Christ. This week we had so many great first lessons even though so many people where out of town and canceled on us haha We had one that was very special. It was with a mother and her two kids who accepted us into their house on the third visit. This final visit really was a miracle because we had tried to go to this house 2 times before but this sister was never home. This past week being the Semana Santa meant there was even less of a chance. But we had to try and share a message with her one final time, so we said a prayer knowing that whether she answered or not it was the will of God. And she answered! And we're going back in the coming week!
We also had a few other great lessons: One with a man who has such a strong desire to follow Christ. One with an 18 year old who really just wanted to get to know us and our church better. And one with a less active member family whose daughter hasn't been baptized, and they share such great insights about the greatest event in history.
Other than that we learned the traditions in Costa Rica for the Semana Santa: EVERYONE goes to the beach! Which means no one is in the city of Montelimar haha but they're all back now!
Juan 10:
3.To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
11.I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Do you know His voice? If He called to you would you be able to recognize His voice?
My companion and I loved talking about this with people this week and we are so excited to strengthen our own ability as well as that of others to hear His voice.
Mucho amor,
Hermana Warburton
