Let It Rain

Hola!

Well, I had to say goodbye to Sister Valdivia. It is amazing how close you get with your companions – and when they leave – it is like some part of you is missing. We had the most powerful Restoration lesson with her last night. We went with Darcie (recent convert) and Cesar (her husband) to get snow cones. We finished eating and were talking about The Restoration. It started to sprinkle outside but we just kept trucking along. Before we knew it, we were drenched and it was pouring rain! But none of us stood up to get dry until after 5 minutes in the pouring rain. Then, we finished the lesson in their car. It is amazing to see how bad he truly wants it. He has some issues with the Word of Wisdom – but he has seen the change in his wife – and wants that same kind of joy in his life.

Jone and John (less-actives) that live in a super cute country home are coming back to church! Two weeks in a row – can I get a whoot, whoot? We talked about the Plan of Salvation with them – and for the first time – they were able to understand the fundamentals of God’s plan. There is nothing that brings more joy than seeing others be able to grasp that concept. There is a purpose here and most do not see it through all of the fog.

The Elders have been working with a family of nine kids and all of the kids are baptized except the two girls – Ashley (age 11) and Brenda (age 13). They asked us to go over and try to connect with them so we connected with them through dance. Yes – Sister Adams cannot dance at all – but it was enough to build this relationship. Well, last night Ashley told us that she now feels comfortable and wants to be baptized! She has loved all of the classes and she and her sister call Activity Days “Craft Nights.”

Sister Eyre is amazing! We have had so much fun and have seen so many miracles. She is so talented and has a beautiful voice! Another thing – Sister Adams cannot sing. But you would be amazed at how many times we have been singing in lessons this last week. Sister Eyre has a beautiful voice and it immediately brings the Spirit.

“The eternal perspective of the gospel leads us to understand the place that we occupy in God’s plan.” – Rafael E. Pino
