So this week was good! I am still trying to get to know the area
better! And it is coming slowly haha
Let's see something cool, so every Tuesday night I go to a
Spanish class that an Elder in my ward teaches, (Elder Sherwin) and we practice
pronouncing things and learning basics. It is kind of hard, I wouldn't say I am
really learning that much haha, we don't have time to practice because we
aren't Spanish speaking missionaries so that makes it kind of hard. I do know
how to introduce myself and testify of a few things, haaa but my Española isn't
great! Apparently I sound really super 'Merican! Wohooo!
But we did have a way awesome lesson with a woman this week
named Yuritza. She is a referral from
the elders and we were able to have a really awesome hand off lesson with her
last Tuesday. We taught her the message
of the restoration and it went really well, the spirit was so strong and she
just seemed so happy! We have a lesson
with her tonight and we are going to do some Book of Mormon reading I am really
excited!
We also had some wonderful miracles this week! First off my
therapy has been going great! My shoulder is slowing going back into place and
the muscle is really starting to relax, my therapist is a miracle worker, his
name is Dr. MacGregor and he really is getting me better so quickly! If you can
imagine, my spine has been bumped and the muscle damage made my shoulder
completely out of place like I was so off looking, but he has been working on
all those muscles to correct them and my shoulder is looking a lot straighter.
Apparently from what he says my C-5 and C-6 are pinching together and the
nerves that are in between there are really pinched, hence all the terrible
pain that shoots down my arm, but he said with the therapy it should help to
release all of that and so there wont be so much numbness, unfortunately if the
nerve is too damaged I could have some permanate problems such as numbness
pains and things through my life, but I really don't think that will happen and
he is sure that we can get a handle on it before it sits too long pinched up,
so that's GOOD!!!! And like I said the spinal specialist I will see on Thursday
is going to X-ray everything and really get a good look at what all is going on
in there, so I know it all sounds bad, but I just keep getting a good feeling
that everything is A-ok!
Also another miracle is that we have been trying to get in
contact with these two potential investigators forever, literally and they kept
being flaky, but yesterday we were able to see them both and teach them both!
One of them is a 15-year-old boy named Jesus, and we were able to read the Book
of Mormon with him and talk about the importance of coming closer to our
Heavenly Father, he really liked reading with us and looks forward to seeing us
this week! Then we were able to see a 13-year-old boy named Sammy, and read the
Book of Mormon with him too. Sammy is so
great and wants to be baptized but he still does not have permission from his
brother who watches him, (Omar) but it is nice because Omar sit in on the
lesson and asked a lot of great questions, and we know that as he sits in and we
can teach them both that it will really soften his heart! So great!
And last but not least there is this family that we found, and
the father - Jeff, isn't really open to learning the gospel, but because his
son who is 9 -Anthony has been asking so many questions lately about God and
where do we come from kind of thing, Jeff allowed us to come over and teach
them about the gospel! WHoO! That is so great, so we felt the impression that
we needed to start off with the Plan of Salvation, and man was that right. We
talked all about the Plan Heavenly Father has for us and how we are His
precious children and He loves us and wants us to be happy, and Jeff opened
right up and was asking so many great questions! And at the end we talked about
the amazing blessing of eternal families, and that totally hit home with Jeff.
He loved the idea of eternal families and expressed how he wants to be with his
family forever. We told him that because of a loving Heavenly Father we have
the option to be a family forever, and how special it is that we can be bonded
for eternity. It was so great! and what is even better is that at the end of
the lesson Jeff said I don't know how this happened, but Anthony
has extreme ADD and he is slightly autistic ,and he sat through the whole
lesson and didn't fidget at all! Just paid attention and asked questions and
listened so well. It was so cool! Well that's the excitement for the week! I
wish I had time to write more! I love my new area and Hermana Baker is so
awesome! I hope you all are doing very well! Remember CPR! Love from
Florida!
