A crazy week!
Dear Everyone,
Well you know
when things are all going really well and then all of the sudden there
are a few little obstacles in your path to help you grow? I feel like
that`s what happened this week. There were some challenges to get
through but everything is for our benefit!
So this
week we had a conference with the president and three different zones,
Artigas, Rivera and Tacuarembò. It was a great conference! We were able
to receive some new guidance on our weekly planning. I was also to see
some missionaries I haven`t seen for a while, it was great to catch up
with them!
Remember on Sunday
when I fell down? This week my foot started swelling and the mission
doctor told me I had sprained it, so she told me to take an anti-inflammatory pill. I took one and then had an allergic reaction! So
she sent me to the hospital here in Artigas. They gave me an injection
for the allergic reaction and looked at my foot and everything is pretty
healed up now, so don`t worry! I just got to watch my step! It was just a
really crazy day!
This week a miracle happened! On Sunday
a new couple came to church that we had never seen before, so we talked
to them. The husband is a convert from 5 years ago who used to live in
Montevideo and his wife isn`t a member. The husband, Antonio, had been
inactive but after about two years he decided to come back. He actually
stood up to give a testimony and blew everyone away. He testified that no
matter how many mistakes you make or how many times you rejected the
Lord in your life, He is always willing to take you back. Antonio said
he had fallen off the path, but that Christ was always there for him.
His testimony really touched me, we were able to have a lesson with him
and his wife after church and I really feel that Aly (his wife) will
progress and be baptized, so that she and her husband can have an
eternal family!
I testify that it doesn`t matter
to the Lord how many times we fall down or how many mistakes we make.
What matters to Him is how many times you get back up. He is always
waiting for you to come back to him. His hand is extended all day for
you!
Thank you so much for all the support!
Sorry, I won`t be able to send pictures this week because the computer
here did something to my memory card... but hopefully next week I can
send some more! I love you all!
