Hey all!
So last week if you all remember, we had te privledge of
having a branxh activity with Presidente Myers about the iron rodand it was
super epic and super spiritual. This week we saw so many miracles that came
from the spirit that touched the hearts of those who attended.
One is named Sergio. He started comign to church becasue of
one the memebers saw him, though of her son who's serving a mission, and
decided to more or less insist that he come to church. Well, he's come three
times now and he came to the activity as well and absouluely LOVED it.when we
wentt to visit him, he wasn't there, because he has foundtemporary work for
that day and doesn't have a phone so he couldn't tell us, but we had the chance
to meet the rest of his family amd his mom was very impressed with her son's
determination to tgo to church. In fact, Sergio turned down a job offer and is
looking for somethign that has sundays off so that he can continue to come. I
know the only reason he would do that is because the hrch and in particular the
Reuinion Sacramental is so important and you can feel something special every
singe week. It's somethign that I have sometimes taken for graned - the
sanctity of the Santa Cena, but I have watched the spirit work touch people so
strongly that Ioften have to remind myself just how sacred it is.
Another is a fmaily of inactive members. They've been
inactive for a long time, but their very active mom died of old age revcently
and her dying wish is that her family, already sealedtogether, can live up to
that sealing ordinance. As we were going out to give invitations of the
activity to the memebers, we passed by the house where Hermana Sofia had lives,
and I noticed that there were people there again. Out of curiosity and what
wasdefinitely the spirit, I hit the breaks and decided to see if one fo the
kids had started to live in the house and was happy to find two of the children
of hermana Sofia, with their children, several who's fmaily went inactive
before they had the chance to be baptized and a few of their grandchildren. We
decided tojust sing a hymn adn say a´rayer, leave the invitacion and hurry on
our way becasue we had to pass by four or five more houses in the next hour,
but as my copanin prayed, both of the children began to cry. One of them
explained that it was her birthday and no one had remembered and she had been
missiong her mother alot that day. She told us that durign the prayer, she had
felt her mother alongside her and it was all she had wished for for her
birthday. They came to the activity, adn this week at chruch, all of them came
and also brough along several other fmaily memebers. I never thought soemthign
that seems as simple as sayign a prayer could brign such a strogn miracle, but
I knwo that all of that, literally all of it is thanks to the spirit of the
Lord who testifies to the hearts of all men and I am so grateful that the Lord
trusts me enough to let me be a tool in his hand. I know that I can do nothign
of myself and that the Lord does it all because I may be smart, I might be ble
to be eloquent and intellectual in my speach, but there is nothign short than
the sprit of the Lord that can tough the hearts of the children of men.
I love you all and sorry if this letter is slightly short,
we had another miracle ths past swaturday. I got fed up with fruitlessly
searchign for houses here in Huatabampo and finally in companinship prayer asked
Heavely Father if He could help us find a house that very day.We called two
more numbers that hadn't answered us before.One of them answered and it was
exactly what we were looking for and it's almost evern better becasue its literally
two blocks from the church! I'm really glad I finally truned to the Lord for
this matter because we couldn't have foudn this house without Him.
I love you all and I'm sending prayers your way
Con mi amor eterno,
Hermana Rawlings
