This week was so fantastic! I don't
even know where to start! Everything is going to be out of order and all
over the place, but bear with me :D
On Monday
I went to Ciudad Obregón for a meeting. Laurita picked us up from the bus
station and took us to see some members in another ward. Sadly, I wasn't
able to see Maria Jesús, Bernardo, nor anyone else I knew due to a
shortage of time, but that's okay. From what some sister missionaries
told me, Maria Jesús gave her testimony for fast Sunday,
saying that the best day of her life was her baptism. It is such a
humbling experience to see how people learn to love and embrace this
gospel. Also, I found out that her father-in-law is getting baptized this Saturday!
Hallelujah! He was one of the most spiritually people I had ever met
before I left that area, and it's so amazing to know that he and Maria Jesús will be able to be together at church. Her husband will come
around sometime!

| Bowling with the other missionaries |
The meeting in Obregón was
amazing and so needed! To start off, we went bowling (!), but had to
walk in the rain to get there. So we were soaking yet, in church
clothes, bowling. And.... I'm awful at bowling. I think I got a great
score of 32.... Heavenly Father blessed me with other gifts :). The
rest of the day was amazing. We talked about how we can help the
missionaries have more ánimo and how we can have more success with the
members. We finished around 8 pm, but there were still some more things to discuss, so we'll be having another meeting next week.
It was Hna. García's birthday on Saturday!!! We had planned to do an FHE/mutual with the youth in the ward Saturday
night to help the youth and our investigators become friends. The plan
was to make pizza (Hna. García's favorite food). Little did she know, I
had been planning a surprise for her for mutual. I had been passing
notes and messages to the members, Lucila and her family, and others to
have everyone come to the mutual and throw a mini surprise party. And it
worked! We had around half the ward there! The pizza was delicious (I
love the RS president!), the elders bought a cake, and it all turned out
as planned! We were also able to have a FHE were Hna. García and I
talked about the importance of the scriptures in finding answers. All in
all, it was an edifying experience for everyone.
Miracle moment: I had accidentally left our cell phone at the church on Friday
during a ward activity. Hna. García and I were both worried that it
might have been lost, but really, I felt completely okay about not
knowing where the phone was. The Lord always provides. Saturday
morning, right after personal study, the bishop knocks on our door and
hands us our phone. I love the small miracles the Lord provides us!
Another
miracle: We are teaching a teenager, Guillermo, and he is so excited
about learning more. We found him ready to go for church, all nice and
spiffy, on Sunday morning. He had been ready an hour and a half before church started!
This
gospel is so amazing. One of my favorite parts about being a missionary
is helping us learn more and change their lives. The gospel changes
people. What a wonderful blessing to be part of the process!
2 Nefi 25:13 - the scripture we will be memorizing for this month in preparation for Easter.
I love you all!
