| my incredibly cute marta frias... she is my miracle this week!!! seriously love this sweet woman so stinkin much!! #lovebeingamissionary |
okay... so let me explain my excitement... so like two weeks ago we had a lunch with the stake president and his family... which is way normal and usual. well yeah this time his aunt from holland was in town for a month and a half. and shes starts telling us how shes catholic and doesnt have interest in our religion but that she could tell we were sweet girls with good hearts and yadda yadda yadda... ha!!! this woman can talk AFUL!!!! well... yeah. anyways. we shared a scripture and i just testified to her about the power of prayer and how she can know for her self if this church is true or not. she just needs to ask with a sincere heart to know for herself. well yeah. the spirit was super strong. and i even caught myself getting a little teary-eyed. but thats normal. ha!!! anywho... invited her to pray. lunch ended. && we went on our way. well yeah. two weeks later. aka: this week.l we had lunch again. normal, tranquilo, totally normal lunch. && the aunt was there and super sweet. but nothing out of the ordinary. anywho. my comp shares a scriptures. and everything is like super normal. then when im about to ask if we can close with a prayer... the stake president turn to his aunt and says, ¨hey auntie, do you have something you want to share with the sisters!?¨ and knowing that this sweet old lady can talk for hours and hour and more hours... i was actually dreading this response... #badmissionarystatus. but yeah. then her eyes get all glisteny with tears and she says, ¨yes. i took your invitation and prayed... and recieved my answer. and i want to baptize me.¨... BAH!!! BAH!!! BAH!!! real talk fam. i think my jaw fell on the floor and my eyes bugged out of my head!!! thats was definitely NOT the response i was expecting. she was very set in her ways and her beliefs. like what!? anyways... long long long story short. this week and next week she is our focus. cuz.... were gonna get her to the waters of baptism before she heads back to holland baby!!!! ahhhh!!! cuz she already has two attendances in church... so just needs two more and all the lessons baby!!! woohoo!!! im just seriously so incredibly happy!!! she really is incredible!!! she treats every commitment we give her as if were her first born child!!! like real talk. ive never ever EVER had a investigator like this amazing woman!!! && i just feel so increidbly blessed to have this opportunity to help prepare her to make such an amazing covenent with our lord and savior!!!! ahhhh!!!! THIS IS THE WORK OF THE LORD. nada mas. we literally are just instruments as missionaries. && even in a simple lunch appointment inviting someone to pray can be a life changing experience if they accept the invitation with a willing heart of knowing!!! ahhhh!!! i love being a missionary so much!!!! :) anywho... i also had a really cool experience during my personal study the other day as i was reading my patrichal blessing and it says something along the lines that: i will help bring the gospel to the honest in heart, spreading the gospel to all lands and tongues. or something like that... ha ha ha. but yeah. hey!!! even holland baby!!!! dasss whatsups!!!! ha ha. ahhhh!!! im just such a happy missionary!!! && i just feel so increidbly blessed to have this opportunity to serve my lord and savior by sharing his gospel to his lost sheep!!! ahhhh!!!! this church is so true familia!!!! there is no if, ands, or butts about it!!! jesus is the christ. our lord. && savior. he is the reason for it all. this is HIS work. && HIS glory. nada mas. :)
