It’s been soooo cold this week.
Monday and Tuesday just rained and rained and rained. But we just enjoyed
it.
So I would like to tell a
story about a little boy named Pedro. His mom accepted a date in a contact and
then my comp taught them in divisions and said they were great. Then I
tried to pass by when I was in divisions and the mom wasn’t that great.... so
then we kind of started to give up on them but then Sunday a member told us
that she knows a lady that’s son is always home alone. She wants him to go to
church and my comp was like “is the boy named Pedro” and she was like yes! So
we took that as a huge sign that we shouldn’t give up on this little boy. I
know that seems like a little thing, but really it was a huge milagro (miracle)
for me to see that sometimes we just give up so easily. It’s hard when we aren’t
always together when we teach, but still I’m glad God is helping us know who we
need to be patient with.
So lately we have found a pattern in
the antiguo investigadores aquí (here). They all are sooo great. We have three.
I am naming the three doughts because they are sooo great. They have been to
church, they have read, they just have doubts. They don’t know if it’s true. We
are trying hard to help them but we are really out of ideas. They are some people
we feel like God is saying “just be patient”. Our new president told us it took
him 6 months to be baptized and now he is a mission president! When he went to
Salt Lake he saw his missionary and he said after 20 years this missionary saw
the fruit of his mission. So I just realized we just have to keep going with
these three, we are going to just be patient. They could use some prayers. Their
names are Pilar, Juan, and Ivan.
We had interviews with president
this week. It was soooo great, mine went so great. I love him so much. He just
speaks with so much love. He told me a lot of things I just needed to hear. He
is really going to be a great help for the mission, I can tell!
So this Sunday, like always, we had
rocking plans to get our people to church!! We thought for sure 2 of the 3
doughters would be there, but then we got there and nope they weren’t. Then to
put it worse Pablo wasn’t either and we were soooo sad, but then he came in and
I just wanted to cry. We also had 3 less active families at church so we were
happy, but the best part is Pable received the priesthood!!!! I just was so
happy, I forgot about the fact we didn’t have anyone new. We went to their
house that night and they told us that they had been fighting and they almost
didn’t come. Pablo said I learned my lesson though, satan just didn’t want me
there because of the huge blessing I got. haha They told us they had been
fighting over who could use the oven to cook us something. haha They love us
sooo much. They always call us their daughters and angels. I love them sooo
much. He is just a convert that gets it. I’m so grateful that I got to come
there and meet him. So just learn from Pablo. If things are really hard it’s
probably for a reason. Satan knows that something great is about to happen,
just have faith to keep going. I love you all so much. My mom informed me I
never explained what Rohayhu means. It’s “I love you” in Guarani. Here, when
they want to speak more intimately they speak in Guarani. I love it. I love you
all and you’re in my prayers. Just keep looking for the daily milagros.
Love,
Hermana Ball
