Buenos Dias!
I hope you're all doing good! Life In NY can simply be described in one word: AMAZING.
i also want to keep things simple ( because of time ) but still share a little from how much we were blessed by the lord this past week.
Investigator for this week: Ashlee from the DR we found her looking for someone else and she ended up letting us In and we shared the he lives video with her and she cried!! We seriously love this girl!! She is 15 and she told us she was having a hard time in school. We've been meeting with her about every other day this week and she said "this week I have been so happy! And I think it's because of you guys!!" She IS THE CUTEST THING!! She is so open and willing to try anything. She has so much hope. #baptismbound
Member of the week: sister gene louis!! Holy this lady, I love her!! She is from Haiti and you can barley understand her when she talks! Jajaja BUT she was converted 2 years ago! Here are some of my favorite things she says : "do you know who's been my best bud? The Holy Ghost, he my best bud" or "I need my sistuhsss!!" She seriously is so converted I'm Christ! It's inspiring!! She's dropped and given up so many things to be obedient unto the lord. Her faith blows me away!! She loves this gospel with her WHOLE HEART #power
Fun fact of the week: Dominicans don't say their "s" so for example : instead of "como Estas" they say "como eta," instead of "escuela" they say "ecuela.".. Anyhoo, we went looking for one of our investigators this week and one lady opens the door and instead of saying "estamos buscando por " I said "etamo bucando por"
IT JUST CAME OUT! I am starting to talk with a Dominican dialect and I'm not sure I want it! Jajaja
But hey at least the Spanish Is coming , right ?
Book of Mormon chapter of the week: 2 nephi 4!! NEPHI IS MY EXAMPLE! He seriously has the best attitude and is soo humble. What I love about this chapter es que he says if he's seen all these great things and knows the Lord so...why be sad? Why be angry? Why loose strength in our afflictions? ..then my favorite part he says "Awake, my soul! No longer droop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart" He's just like WAKE UP! BE HAPPY!!!! So my invitation to you is to..BE HAPPY. 😋
ANDDDD..read 2 nephi 4 and write me back on what you liked on this chapter!
Moral of the story, BE HAPPY. BE STRONG. & BE GRATEFUL for all the the little things. It's all about your attitude ..
So keep it good and life will be good even In the hard times. ❤️
Los amo a todos
Chow!
