Hola familia y amigos!
Wow another great week has gone by and
time just seems to be picking up pace. I can't believe it's already time
for school to start up again!
this week we got to do a really fun
service project. We helped a hispanic family make mexican food for a
fundraiser and so i learned how to make gorditas, tacos sudor, horchata,
and salsa. The fundraiser was for another family in our ward who's dad
got deported and needed bail money. I was in charge of the gorditas
(they're like thick corn flour tortillas) and we had a huge turnout and
it was a big success. ill have to make you gorditas some day cause
they're way easy.
i had a neat experience this week teaching at an investigator's
house when his friend, Mr. Garcia, came over in the middle of our lesson
of the Plan of Salvation. He obviously wasn't understanding it because
he was asking far fetched questions so I was prompted to start teaching
him the Restauration while Hermana Kimball continued teaching the Plan
of Salvation. Half way through I was kind of frustrated because he just
wasn't listening and still asking far fetched questions. But then I was
prompted to just testify and be patient. And i don't know really how it
happened but he softened up and changed, and I changed too- my blood
pressure went down and I was able to testify of the truth. And then he
asked the golden question: "but how can i know for myself this is true?"
and it was really a big change because before he was asking where we
were getting all of this information.
I am so grateful for the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I know that
if we listen to our promptings we will receive more and that we can make
a difference in others' lives if we just follow them. I am so grateful
to be serving full time. Like Ammon in the Book of Mormon, I know that I
am nothing without our Heavenly Father and 'with His strength, I can do
all things' (Alma 26:12).
