Hey family!!
It was another week of crazy blessings. To
start off, we have been teaching this lady named Hayde. She is a little lost
soul. She has had a lot, i mean a lot, of problems in her life. She has been
seeing spirits or shadows for the past few years. Which for me, is the first
sign that she needed help from someone with the authority of God. We needed
some priesthood miracles! It has been amazing to just see her progress through
teaching her! She has smiled more, let more joy into her life, and left a
little more of the crazy to the calle (street). I have seen her desire grow and
grow. If God thinks that she is ready, then we are going to try to prepare for
her baptism at the end of this month. Keep her in your prayers if you can! :)
One amazing thing that happened this week is
that we had a reactivation!! Her name is Lucy. We have been working with her and her
granddaughter for a couple of weeks to get them back to church. It was amazing
to see her face when she was greeted and loved by every member. Especially when
they expressed how much they loved and missed her. The amazing thing that we
are trying to do now is get her son-in-law and daughter to bring their family
to church. They aren't members but practically know everything because one of
their daughters was baptized. Hopefully, she will be the next one we get to
come back to church!
My companion cooked enchiladas this week! Monday,
we spent the day in our favorite member’s house, Wanda! We decided that we were
going to help her for once, apart from cleaning her dishes, and cooking
for her. So I have learned that enchiladas in Honduras are like hard shell
tacos. Hahaha! She fries corn tortillas and has all the good taco stuff on top of
them. Then like traditional Mexican enchiladas, she covers them in sauce. And
can I say it tasted like heaven!!! :) Hahahaha! As always, we eat a ton of rice
and beans with pork chops. Then some more rice, beans and pork chops. But, I
have now learned how to cook it all so I hope you all are ready to eat like a
Boricua (Puerto Rican) when I get there!!!
We have had exchanges with the Sister trainers
with week. I was with our new Sister trainer. She is very intense and
spiritual. I really learned a lot from her on how to call upon the Spirit while
we are walking in the street. I truly gained a greater love for my
companion during the exchange, which I know is part of the idea. We really have
gained quite a connection when we teach and how we act with one another! I love
this girl and can't wait to see where she goes in her mission. I did learn to
focus more on not only being a robot missionary but missionaries need to bring
themselves into the lessons. I feel like some forget that personality and love
is what draws the people to you so you can draw them to Christ. My companion is
a spunky chick and she brings such love to the investigators that we leave with
them knowing and feeling the love that the Savior has for them!!
I hope you all have a great week! My new Ponderize
scripture is 2 Nephi 28:30:
“For behold, thus saith the Lord God: I will
give unto the children of men line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little; and blessed are those who
hearken unto my precepts, and lend an ear unto my counsel, for they shall learn
wisdom; for unto him that receiveth I will give more; and
from them that shall say, We have enough, from them shall be taken away even
that which they have.”
Whats your verse?!?
Con Amor Siempre,
Hermana Harris
