Well
we did exchanges with the STL's again this week.... And I stayed here
in Columbia... Me and all my little Spanish. BUT it went great. I was so
nervous and I don't think I have ever prayed so hard on my life before.
And my prayers were totally answered!! So me and sister carpenter went
to our night appointments. We couldn't get in anywhere because the
families were leaving or weren't home. We decided to stop by at one of
our potential investigators, Jacinta's. And I just have this love for
her. She is just this amazing lady and is so close to the spirit. Well
we have taught her before, we taught her the restoration about a month
or so ago but haven't been able to see her again because she is always
working and busy. But we drove past her house and her car was there and
all her lights too!! I was kind of nervous but just so happy to see her.
We went in and starts talking and recapped the restoration. She had a
lot of questions about the apostasy and Jose smith. So it was really
good to go over it. Over all it went really good!!! And I could
understand all she was saying. Seriously. It's such an amazing blessing
and tender mercy from the lord. After we had missionary correlation and
then we went to stop by and see Felipe. Well usually he is like "come in
come in" and we never can because Olivia isn't there but it was so
cool! He just grabbed his jacket, turned a movie on for max and came
outside. It was incredible! We talked a lot about the temple and life
and the scriptures and baptism. Usually Felipe just kind of messes with
me because I can't speak Spanish all too well but he was serious the
whole night. It was such a tender mercy! He is such a cool guy.
On
Friday we had zone conference so that was way fun too! Elder Rundlund
from the seventy came with his wife. He is way cool!! Overall it was a
really good zone conference and I got to see Hermana Levao so that's
always fun :) she is a cutie! Let's just say her companion and I are a
little different so I think she is struggling a bit. But it's good for
her :)
On
Saturday it was sister nobles son, Alex's baptism. It was really and
cool. He is such a sweet cute boy! That night was sister nobles daughter
quincera! We stopped by for a bit to grab some food, talk to some less
actives and find a few new potentials. That was really fun too! Also we
went and visited one of our progressing investigator family in spring
hill and earlier the mom was telling us that her son just really wanted a
Christmas tree but they just didn't know if they good be getting one
this year or not. Well there was a tree at our apartment with lights and
ornaments and we decided to go and take it to them and decorate with
them. It was so much fun and they kids were so cute!! I don't think I
have just been filled with so much love and happiness. I'm so grateful
for the chance I get to have to be a missionary right now at this time.
Let alone a member of this church. I also just love this Christmas time
when the whole world can truly focus on the Savior and his birth and
life.
Also
miracle!!! We had an amazing lesson with Felipe!! We decided to have it
at the church and wow that really brought the spirit. We read 1 Nefi 8
all about the tree of life and everything and it was great. He was just
eating it all up :) we even asked him to say the closing prayer and
usually we will argue it and Hermana Torres and I will end up saying it
after about 10 minutes, and this time he just said it. And it was a real
sincere heartfelt prayer. It was so amazing. I can't believe how crazy
it's been at home, but busy is always fun I think :) I'm sad to say I
missed the Santa party... But it looked like it was fun like always. I
am stoked to hear about Murray basketball and the Utes!!! Thanks for all
your love and support and like Brandon would say, keep it crunk. Haha
Love always,
Hermana Brown :)
