Hello President H!
My core experience with God this week is one that relates to the
weather! It really has been such nice warm week, so unusual for it being
Winter! However on one particular it started to pour down with rain.
Sister C and I had planned to visit some potentials which meant
getting out of the car and run in the rain towards their front door.
Remembering President Uchtdorf's talk last general conference, the
thought of being grateful in any circumstance came to mind so before we
left the car I prayed in gratitude for the rain no matter if we were
going to get wet. In closing the prayer and getting out of the car the
rain slowed down to a little drizzle allowing both of us to quickly walk
over to M's door without getting too wet. As we reached the covers
of her door, the rain rain then started to pour down harder again! at
first i thought that was pretty neat that we just missed getting
drenched but for a fact i know there is no such thing as coincidences!
because again, as we then began to head back to our car the rain turned
into a drizzle and as we stepped into the car the rain started to pour
down hard again! During this time we tried to visit a couple of
potentials and we weren't having too much success in finding them home
yet i knew that heavenly father was looking out for us that whole time
protecting us from the rain and then lifting up our spirits later with
providing us with a beautiful rainbow to admire!
My best practice for the week in teaching as Jesus taught was
through a miracle we had in visiting a lady named J! We first had
contact with her a couple of weeks ago during tracting and thought to
drop by and see how she was doing. The miracle was that she remembered
us and she invited us inside with such joy!! She later told us that,
that the first time we met her we caught her on a day that she just had a
surgery and she was quite in pain and feeling sad for herself being in
her situation. At the moment she is currently fighting breast cancer and
the good news is that she is doing well! However by just showing up on
her doorstep with smiling faces and giving her the message of the plan
of salvation really had made her day! hearing this touched my heart and i
knew that she felt the spirit with us! So in teaching as Jesus taught i
felt that in our second visit with her i was able to testify and teach
certain principles all throughout the conversation we had with her! That
no matter what topic we talked about, I knew the spirit directed me to
know what little thing i could testify about that related to that topic.
She wants to have us back soon so i'm really praying that she'll
continue to progress towards baptism!!
In regards to how i'm feeling about my mission so far, well I'm
really loving it! I get so much joy out of finding people and teaching
them the gospel and I have seen that i am changing from once a sister
who got nervous thinking about going to our next appointment to now
someone who get's excited and can't wait to teach in following
appointments! Even though it does get hard sometimes, especially this
week where we have had our ups and really hard lows, i always feel
heavenly father is near by and encouraging me to keep pressing forward
and to not lose hope in what the future can bring if i move forward with
faith.
Nothing confidential to share
Lots of love,
Sister Valdes
