Coming up with a good way to start my weekly emails is almost as hard as coming up with the perfect caption for an Instagram picture. My mind has been running through so many different things I could share with you this week.
Not much went on this week except for meetings and guys telling us that we were "in the hood and going to get shot in the head"...comforting right? Need not fear the angels are near!
On Tuesday we got to hear from an absolutely amazing guy! I'm not sure if many of you have heard of the Riccardi letter...but the author came and spoke with us! If you haven't read the letter I HIGHLY recommend it..In one part of this amazing letter it talks about prayer. And boy oh boy if only there were words enough for me to describe my most deepest feelings on prayer!! When we pray we are literally talking to our father in heaven.. AND HE HEARS US!! I can testify of that. It's amazing to see..especially as a missionary what a most simple and humble prayer can do in someone's life!!
Investigator of the week: or should I say investigator(s)! A Dominican couple! Vanessa and Salvador! They are so prepared!! This week we went and shared the restoration with them and Vanessa cried!! She said she felt so good! And then!! at the end we gave them each their own Book of Mormon and when we gave it to Salvador he held it like it was the most amazing thing he had ever held!! His eyes were open and he held it like it gold was handed to him! We walked out of their house skipping and crying the spirit was so strong!
THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!
fact: my companion and I are basically taking care of the area right now...Taking care of both Spanish and English! I was telling my dad Spanish words out of my mouth when I'm trying to speak English and when I'm trying to speak Spanish all I can think is English...WHAT A STRUGGLE. But. Yea. I forgot what I was going to say....
Goodness. I hope you're all doing good! Hope you all had a good Halloween. Halloween here is sketch town.
My pondering scripture of the week is: Proverbs 15:13 A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. So stay positive!!! :)
