This past week was a fun week, but also a difficult week... once again there are vacations here, so everyone leaves!!! haha!!! Vacations just make things a little bit difficult!!! But we aren´t getting our hopes down, we are just really excited to be working in the cold, rain, and with all our heart mind might and strength!!!!
We had a really.... I don´t know how you would describe it with one word... experience this week that I´d like to comment. It just goes to show that if we are doing what we should and we are trying to do our best, God will help us in HIS work and HE will use us to be instruments in HIS hands. One night this week after praying to start our planning for the next day, we felt the impression to stop by the Bishops house the next day. We had little idea as to why we needed to go to the bishops house, but we put it down in our agenda. Well, the next day passed by as normal and amazing as ever, and then when the hour came to go to the Bishop´s house, we went... The Bishop wasn´t home and neither was his wife, but his son Ricardo was home! He let us in and we started talking with us. Well, to make a long conversation short, after a bit of talking with him, he told us that he knows now that God loves him. It was a random comment, so we asked him why he knew that now.... He told us that about an hour before he was thinking about committing suicide and he was really going to go through with it... but he prayed to know if God loved him... and then we showed up and he felt the spirit testify to him why we were there sharing a message with him that God really is looking out for him. We testified of God´s love for us and he was really grateful... I´m really grateful too that we payed attention to the spirit to guide us to visit him exactly when we needed to be there. We left there saying a prayer thanking our Heavenly Father for that experience... and I´m so grateful that we payed attention to something so small... I don´t want to know what would have happened if we hadn´t of planned or not showed up....
So apart from that, we have found a new way to help the members help us in Missionary work. We are going to the houses of some members that we choose and we share a small video with them from a Conference that happened at the start of this month. We are seeing a little bit of a difference in the ward, the work is starting to grow here... we just need a few more people to teach! But that´s just how missionary work is sometimes! We just have to push forward with faith and we´ll be blessed! I hope that all of you are doing well! i´m not sure if I´ll be able to send pictures this week... my computer is freaking out a little bit! haha! I love you all!!!!
Con mucho amor,
Elder Garrétt
