On Thursday we had
our last interviews with President and Hermana Jackson!! It is already
their time to leave and for us to get a new President. They are so
incredible and we are definitely going to miss them so much! President
Jackson gave each of us a hug. It was cute because he said that it
isn't against the rules for Presidents to hug the Hermanas.. jaja. We
used Elder Lopez' selfie stick and took a cute picture with my
district. I will send the pic!
Last Monday was
a day of the holy ghost testing me. I had a lot of different kinds of
promptings throughout the day and I believe that he was testing me to
see if I would listen. Whether it was a small impression to talk to
someone or a name come to mind after praying who to visit off of the
ward list. Each time, I wasn't necessarily able to see the reason why I
had to do it. But I know that it's important to follow the holy ghost
promptings even when we don't know why.
DEATH
BY CARNE. I've been getting better at trying new foods but... the
other day I thought I was going TO DIE. We were eating a plate of
shrimp and I thought I was finished after that.. and then I had to eat a
huge plate of STEAK. I just needed to tell you guys that I am still
alive though. PHEW.
This week was filled with
few different kinds of Milagros.(Miracles) One day we felt like we
began our day with a bad start and were discouraged that we had no
planned lessons for that day. I said a prayer that we could just have 1
lesson. Just one. 2 minutes later a lady that we visit calls and says
she doesn't know why but wants us to come over. And then we ended up
have more lessons as well. AAHHH small MIRACLE.
Okay, and now for the big miracle!!! Yesterday was fast Sunday,
and I fasted for something AWESOME to happen. I prayed that I could
feel like I was a good missionary. Whether that meant me feeling more
confident, or brave or just simply finding someone who is prepared to be
baptized. Well... last night I we received a phone call from a young
lady who just moved here from Honduras and wanted to meet with us. She
had been meeting with missionaries in Honduras but had to move here to
start working to make money for her family back home. She really wants
to get baptized as soon as possible. She is all alone here so she was
so grateful for our willingness to love and support her. I prayed for
an opportunity to help someone who is prepared for the gospel. And after
days of being disappointed of failed lessons with other people, we were
literally just handed a golden investigator. I believe that we were
each other's answers to our prayers. I can't wait to get to know her
more and hopefully have a baptism soon!!!!
This
week I have learned the importance of having diligence mixed with
patience! Sometimes we have faith and pray a lot but still can't see
the answers to our prayers. Well I just want to tell you all that I
know that Heavenly Father really does answers our prayers. We need to
be diligent in being obedient but it is also important to have patience
with his perfect timing.
I love this gospel so
much and I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY. Sometimes it can be hard of course
but it is truly AMAZING. I love Hermana Whiting!! We have been having a
lot of fun together. She likes to tell cheesy jokes so that definitely
makes me stay smiling. Thanks for all of your messages and prayers!!
Hasta luego!!
Love, Hermana Berry
