May 2, 2022 - you were a missionary?

 Week 36 

I can't believe it is already May. And while in Utah the seasons are changing soon from spring to summer. We here in Costa Rica are changing from a cooler summer than usual to winter. Haha the weather is still great though, winter just means that it now rains everyday. 

We had some miracles this week as we went to visit a member of our ward who we have never visited before. Turns out she was very thankful for the visit, and after we visited her, we caught some of our favorite friends at home. We started teaching the mother and her kids and this week the father was home and joined us. He joined us late so we got to watch part of the restoration video 2 times. And the best was after the second time the kids took on the role of missionary and asked the Dad if he had any questions.

After more than 12 weeks here someone we are teaching came to church in person. They have been receiving lessons from missionaries before too. But when a whole family that are members showed up on Sunday with this person we are teaching, you could see the power of this family!! We also had a kid say that he wanted a plaque like us! His mom told him, "well you have to be a missionary to have a plaque." Then he turned to us and asked, "you were a missionary??" Haha his mom then proceeded to explain that we are missionaries right now. It's so exciting to see how young missionaries start! 

We keep looking for and finding people to teach, and will soon find those who are ready to listen to our message. 

I found that Jacob 5:22 really helped me see what success we are having in this area, in my last area and in many other areas around the world... "Y le dijo el Señor de la viña: No me aconsejes. Yo sabía que era un lugar estéril; por eso te dije que lo he nutrido tan largo tiempo, y tú ves que ha dado mucho fruto."

We are here helping to nurture the Lord's vineyard. Only the Lord knows how long it could take, or the best way to do it, but that's just things, it will take time and we are learning and He is letting us learn by helping Him. So we keep working as hard as we can, trying old things, new things, and all the things. And one day we will see that these areas are bringing forth much fruit. 

Mucho amor,
