the zabala family!!! (minus the oldest laura)
|
so yesterday was a bit of an emotional one for me and my comp as we visited this less-active family... the zabala family. and wow. fell in love with them at first sight. they are incredible!! background: 3 kids. laura (11), bianca (9), and faustino (7). && more background: their mom was a member. but died 4 years ago from cancer... hence why they are inactve now... wow. and yesterday we went to have a family home evening with them AND WE MET THEIR DAD!!!! ahhh. long story short he told us the whole story of his wife. how they met all the way till her very last days in the hospital... hence why it was so emotional. anywho. after our way fun family home evening with the kids, i seriously was struck with the spirit and began asking him questions... like FORWARD questions... like what in the world!? who am i!? oh yeah. i´m a missionary. speaking for god. ha ha. but seriously it was incredible. he´s in a very sad and dark place emotionally as he is mad and bitter at god for losing his wife. but i just testified like it was nobodies business that he can live with her again through this amazing plan of salvation that our loving heavenly father prepared for us!!! wow. so... long story short... we´re praying that carlos, the father of these 3 incredible kids, felt the same spirit that we felt and has a desire to come to know his personal heavenly father and savior.... then this morning i came acrossed something so perfect in my personal study...
