Pues Buenos Dias familia!
Pues esta semana fue bien loca! Personas
escondiendose en su casa por un huracan que no llego solo agua y brisa.. je je
je...
Okay, Okay… my week was a little crazy!! We
had people trying to hide from the hurricane that really was only a little bit
of rain and wind. It was worse in other parts but for Juana Diaz it was a
joke!! But they take it very seriously here… to the point that they put metal
covers over their windows and doors. It looked like they were preparing for the
Second Coming scariness to pass!! But your daughter is safe and sound!!
Our week was a little uninteresting actually.
Because everyone was starting to prepare for the storms that was coming, no one
was in the streets. Everyone we passed was telling us to buy canned food and
water before it ran out, and to not be in the streets! I am glad that everyone
was warning us about it, but seriously the skies all week were the most
beautiful blue and white clouds. We still, of course, had to work for the
Lord!!
Within the not so incredible week, we did come
to find people. We saw lots of miracles! Well because I just celebrated 13 months
in the mission, I will tell you guys 13 miracles that I saw!!
1. The biggest blessing to start out is that
the Lord trusts me to teach his children here in Puerto Rico and help them increase
in their own faith everyday!
2. I received three letters from Grandma
Murphy! They always bring my mail a little late but hey they got here!
3. We had a family commit to coming to church
the next week!
4. We have been looking for a less-active for
about three weeks and this Sunday we finally found them! And we were able to
meet a really sweet new family by asking for directions! New investigators!
5. The hurricane didn't come! And I didn't get
wet at all!
6. Hermana Luz! When we lost power on Friday,
she had a gas stove so she made lunch for us!
7. Of course, my family and my future niece or
nephew that is coming!! Even though, I can't see you every week you all are
still examples for me!
8. My companion! She is super sweet and a
power house in the lessons with the spirit.
9. Jose Cruz, after Sacrament, came up to me
and my companion and said “Thank you for being the light back into my
life!"
10. When it was at the end of the month
without money, we had someone each day offer us lunch or dinner!
11. Ruth is our Relief society President and
was willing to help us when no one else in the ward wanted to.
12. We had gone to our less-active Jose's
house to not find him there. We were able to teach his wife and really see her
spirit come through. Then walking back found Jose in the street waiting for a
ride from his daughter and where able to arrange a ride to church for Sunday!!
13. I gave a talk in church and everyone
understood me, and I wasn't actually reading my talk, I was just preaching from
the heart!
As you can see, a missionaries life is full of
blessings. I am so glad that I am able to be a servant of the Lord here!
Everyday, I learn more and more about the Saviors love for each one of his children!
I love Puertoricans!! They are the craziest, strangest, and sweetest people
that I could ever meet!!! Yo soy Boricua para que tu lo sepas!!
Have a great week and excited to here what Aubrei
and Aaron are having next week!! Love you all and always sending my love and
kisses! Love ya'll!
Con Amor Siempre,
Hermana Harris
