gorditias

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).
