Great to hear from yall!! It has
been a great week!! We were able to see so many miracles-the Hand of the
Lord really is in this work!
We were teaching
Leandro this week, and it was so incredible---he told us how he finally
prayed to know if the book of mormon is true, and he felt something
change in him! As he said that I felt goose bumps. He still have lots of
doubts, but I know he has felt the Spirit and Im excited to keep working with him! Also, Eva is doing really well, preparing for her
baptism in 2 weeks! She wanted to be the one to set the date, not us,
and March 1st it was. She is excited and already inviting her friends. :)
Most exciting moment of the week, we were able to rescue
katty!!!!!! :) Rescuing someone means we teach someone who is inactive
all the 5 lessons, they attend church twice, and are interviewed. No one
else knows, but we do and it made us so happy! Its the same process for
a baptism. Katty just makes me so happy. She is 21, her enthusiasm for
the gospel is incredible. She has earnestly sought her answers, and the
Lord has given them to her. She is excited to keep participating in te
church as a reconverted latter day saint! This work is incredible and Im
so glad to be a part of it! :)
This week we were finally about to find Roger and Miselli again!
(Diosnel and Tempora went to Tumbes)... As we were teaching them, hna
gozan and I pulled out the pamphlet for the word of wisdom at the exact
same time! We didnt have it planned or anything. I think this is what it
means to be one, and to have unity with your companion! Being in tune
with the spirit and being able to know what our investigators need.
This week one mronigng we hicked up the hill Ñañanica, the members
we went with call it ¨monte del Señor¨. There is a huge cross up there,
and it is such a pretty view of Chulucanas! And they all wanted me to
do gymnastics of course. I was able to whip out a round off back hand
back hand. Havent done that in months! Only a little sore still..haha
We got a new district leader, Elder Holms from South Jordan Utah.
He is such a hard worker and our distirict meeting was wow, so great! It
got Hermana Gozan and I pumped up so much to get to work work work! AND
he gave us oreos. It was a good meeting! :)
Every third sunday
here the missionaries speak. I spoke about the atonement of Chirst, and
how the more we understand it, and apply it, the more we will want to
share it. Im so thankful for the atonement of Jesus Christ. He is our
rescuer. He is who will lift us up when we fall, and give us strength
when we are weak. Im thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ, and as I
live it I can feel the power of the atonement in my life. This makes me
want to shout with a peruvian flute to the world how incredible and
imporatnat our message is! But talking to people sitting out side from
door to door will have to do for now. :)
Found this quote this week and kind of like it- Äs we act in faith,
our blessings will be much different than we expect, but much greater
than we can imagine.¨-Elder Anderson.
There are so many blessings waiting for us! We just need to be obedient and we will receive them.
Love yall to Perú and back!
Love,
Hermana Garlick
