Pamela came to church on Sunday which was a
miracle! I think I told you guys about her last week, how she was the
less active member we found who lived in our building and who said she
would come back this week?? yeah her haha. And she did! She came back
this week! So that was amazing to see.
Jorge
and Jessica from Ñuñoa also came to our ward this week so it was super
fun to see them! They told me they had a surprise for me outside so told
me to close my eyes. When we got outside I opened my eyes and standing
there was Jorge Vilches and Jaime!!! Two of the recent converts from
Ñuñoa I got to teach. It was sooooo good to see them again. It brought
back so many memories of miracles and gave me so much hope for these
weeks we have ahead of us.
We're still looking
for new investigators which is always a challenge over here but we
started an English class and Fabiola (recent convert from last month) is
putting it all over Facebook and is inviting all the people from her
work so we're really excited about that! Hopefully we'll be able to meet
lots of new people through that. :D
Our
mission also just called two sister missionaries to be the Sister
Training Leaders over all the Sisters in the mission so they'll be kind
of like the Sister APs! So that's cool :D Hermana Maxfield and I were
watching the district yesterday and I actually totally called that that
was gonna happen in our mission too and I even guessed which sisters
they would be haha. So basically I'm psychic.
So
right now we're also teaching a man named Roberto. Maybe I mentioned
him before not sure though. But he is married to a member and so all of
his in-laws are members and his daughters. We've been visiting him off
and on during the whole time I've been in this ward and the missionaries
before us too. He started off having a lot of doubts and things but
we've seen a lot of progress in him that we're really excited about. The
lesson last time got a little of track last time and kind of turned
into something more philosophical. So then we read some of Christ's
words from 3 Nephi 11 and it was amazing how that brought the spirit
back and put us on track again. Another experience to show me the power
of the scriptures. We testified of the simplicity of the gospel and
everything seemed to clarify. It was beautiful.
I'm
realizing more and more everyday how important is to be rooted in
Christ. That's pretty much all I was thinking about during personal
study this morning. It's crazy how different I feel when I'm rooted in
Christ versus in something or someone else. We might even be focusing on
something good, but its just not the same as focusing on Christ.
There's a spirit that goes along with that that I felt during my prayer
afterwards that just felt eternal. There's no other way to describe it. I
knew it would always be there. When we don't feel it, its always
because we were the ones to leave it for a while. And when we come back
we realize that. We feel it and its undeniable.
Love you guys so so so much :D
Sending allllll my love,
Hermana Cannon II
