So great to hear from you. I can´t remember too much of what happened this week ! But one day I remember Miguel was walking with us and we were saying hello to every one but then Miguel reminded us of a line in our mission song and he said " Sisteres sem deixar passar ninguém! " (I think this must mean that we should let no one pass by without inviting them) so then we started full on talking with EVERYONE. Pretty sure we didn´t get to anywhere we had planned on going but we met some cool people with some great potential!
As a district we are trying to really get the members involved in our work so we had the opportunity to do a special 3rd hour lesson yesterday. We prepared a lot for it. On Saturday Sister Griffin and I decided to make cookies for everyone and attach them to a cool quote so during our lunch hour we made the dough but then we were busy the rest of the day SO when we got home we started poundin' out the cookies and gluing quotes. It was a mess but the members LOVED them. During our lesson, we asked the members to share some ways their lives were better because of the gospel and it was so sweet to hear! All the time on the mission I realize the gospel IS the answer to everything in life. It helps us with every aspect of our lives. I am so blessed to have it! But we also must share it because God´s plan doesn´t function without missionary work.
We started teaching this awesome lady named Fatima. We had a super spiritual lesson with her and she has a real desire to learn. Right as we were giving a baptismal invite her doorbell rang and her sister came in so she didn´t agree to baptism yet but we talked more with her sister and she said one day they will all come to church !
We had a bunch of people promise to come to church this week and NONE of them came. Was a bummer but we will get them next time.
I have been studying a lot about faith this week. Every time I read more about faith I realize how much I don´t know about it (you don´t know all that you know, so keep trying....name that quote hahahah) But I know that miracles do not produce faith. But faith is believing and trusting so much in God that our wills are exactly aligned with His and then we ask for things and it is given, but because our desire are pure and righteous.
I love our savior and am so happy to representing Him!
Love you all!
