HOLLA to the best week EVER! We've seen so many miracles this week (even more than the usual!) and it all started with District Meeting this week. On Tuesday, we set goals as a District to attack the day, contact at least 10 people every day, and use every minute wisely--even at the very end of the night or before we go in for mediodia. So what did we do? We've been getting up early to go running, we talk to the first person we see every time we leave the piso and before we enter it again, and most of all we've been trying more than ever to be exactly obedient and listen more to The Holy spirit to guide us where to go and what to do. And I can honestly say that we've seen more blessings, tender mercies, and miracles than I ever thought possible. (Facepalm--why didnt I do this sooner!!)
Just one quick one--it was almost 10:45 at night and we had been out since 9:30 that morning, with only a 15 minute break for mediodia. So basically we were exhausted. BUT we wanted to keep up with our goal and we felt that there was soemthing more we could do with the Lord's time that night. Soooo instead of heading to our piso, we decided to talk to one more person. We saw this teenager in the middle of the street and started talking to him. He was really open and we were able to share a message with him about the love of Christ and even say a prayer. The next day we met with him and we felt the Spirit so strong, he has chosen to be baptized in September! WHATTTT.!
My testimony about the importance of obedience has grown so much this week. And it just proves to me how important and essential repentance is. Maybe we're not even doing something wrong or being blatantly disobedient. But theres always things we can work and improve on. And thats kind of the purpose of life. And I know The Lord will bless us more than we could imagine if we push ourselves. So yeah.
And funny moment of the week, one of our investigators works at a summer school for children and she was giving us a tour of the school. She introduced us to about 100 little kids and then TOTALLY put us on the spot and made us go up on a stage to sing something in english. Thank heavens for primary or I dont know what we would have done! So somehwere out there, a bunch of kids and teachers have videos of me singing "once there was a snowman" and popcorn popping" at the top of my lungs. Yay primary! Oh oh oh!
And one more funny story because why not. We visit a sweet member whos at a nursing home once a week and last week he wanted to "take us for a walk". He bought us candy and food and it was really sweet until he decided that he wanted to go to the church. We werent allowed to take him that far outside of the nursing home so we tried to convince him that we couldnt because it wasnt Sunday and the the church was closed. But that made him even more determined and he upped the speed on his motorized wheelchair which resulted us chasing this little man in skirts down the streets of Albacete, just pleading with him to slow down (those things go fast!) we were quite a sight! Hahahaha
So all is well here in Albacete. I've only been here for a little over a week but it already has a special place in my heart. I take back what I said last week--its DEFINITELY a HUGE city. I didnt realize how big it was until this week. We. Walk. A. Lot. There could easily be 6 missionaries here. Sometimes I panic because theres so many people here who are ready and need the gospel but theres only two of us. But then I remember the Lord has placed me here to succeed, not to fail. And with His help, we can accompish all the He wants and needs us to do. But its still hard. I've never worked so hard in my entire mission but its so rewarding. And plus, Im I have ana amazing companion! She only has 7 months on the mission but she leads by her example and I learn from her every day. Fun fact, she's also vegetarian! Which means No meat for us this transfer! Haha jk, pretty much its a win win because I just get to eat all of her food in eating citas haha. But yes, shes great and we work together so well. We set a goal to find 3 people who are ready to make the covenant of baptism this month of september and I know if we keep working this hard with The Lord we will see it happen!
I love you all!
Have an amazing week!
HURRAH FOR ISRAEL!
Love, Hermana Morrow
