What a great week it has been! Full
of sweet experiences and mangos of course. :) The best part was probably
when we were teaching Roger, his wife misseli, their mom Tempora, and
her son Diosnel. We found them asking for directions to a members house.
(We find soo many contacts through asking for directions..haha!) We
were teachiung about repentance, and the spirit was strong. Roger hasnt
been able to keep the commitments because he feels guiltyu for living in
sin. We explained it doenst matter the sin, through christ we can be
completely clean and forgiven. Then it started to rain! We were teaching
outside of course, and it wasnt too bad so we stayed. but it made me
think of the primary song I love--I want my life to be as clean as earth
right after rain, I want to be the best I can, to live with God again. I
am so grateful for Jesus Christ and for the Atonement. I know it is
real and true!
Hermana Maura, a member has taught me the definition of patience!
She takes care of her dad miguel who we are teaching who cant hear too
well and needs a lot of help, and her sister who has special needs who
was just baptized a year ago. She is such a great example to me of
someone who lives each day for the Lord, and is so selfless! Everytime
we go we come out with a huge bag of ciruelas--this super delicious
fruit!
The members here are THE BEST. They remind me a lot of the
wonderufl members in Paita as well. Hermama Canayo has been such a help!
Everytime we leave with her we get about 10 references. Everyone here
knows everyone, so it makes member work so great and helpful and
important! She has 4 daughters who also teach with us too. They are so
fun and I am so grateful for this family and for the families here. This
is the house we have the exercise class at Mondays so it has been fun
jamming out with them to efy music! haha!
This week we had a mutli zone conference and talked a lot about
personal revelation. We talked about Enos and how when his soul
hungered, he prayed fervently, in fact he wrestled with the Lord, and was
able to receive some really important revelation for his life. Prayer is
crucial for us to receive revelation. I was thinking about experiences
I have had with prayer, and I remembered the day we were having a mia
maid activity and I was in the car with mom and lili and we were looking
for paxtons house. We had no idea which one it was, but sweet Lili,
recently baptized a month or so ago, said that we should say a prayer! I
dont remember who offered the prayer but I remember the sweet spirit
we could feel when mom and I looked at each other. I got out and knocked
on a door, which wasnt it, but the next one, out comes paxton! I know
it was through the prayer of faith we were able to find the house of
paxton so quick! Our first idea to knock every door in the street would
have eventually worked too, but when we turn to the Lord and pray for
help, he gives it to us! I have been applying this more each day and
have seen how the help of the Lord comes, when we pray for it!
Ready for another fun and sunny and wet week here in
chulucanas! February starts the rains that turns the streets to rivers
people are saying...looks like we will need to buy some boots, but we
will see! :)
love yall the moon and back!Hermana Garlick
