Hi Everyone,
So as predicted, I have learned somethign fascinating this
week, that is completely possible to be on your feet all day, without sitting
for basically any reason. I'm kidding, we were able to sit down and teach, but
yes, it's been a lot of contacting and learnign the area. I have become a
master at usign our six page map to figure out where the hec we are and how to
get to the next place, which has been good for me be able to visualize and
memorize the area.
As we've been meeting lots of new peopel this past week,
it's been interstign to ask the Lord for help in findign the peopel that HE is
preparing here in this area, and we had a super cool experience with that on
Friday. We had been looking more than anythgin, for families to teach, and so
we had been praying all week for a family of 5, with 2 sons, and 1 daughter who
were ready to hear the Gospel, who want to go to chuirch and were ready to make
covenants with God, but we stil hadn't found anyone, and it was Friday about
midday (which is often not the best hour to meet peopel because all of them are
cooking the midday meal or gettign kidas form school) and all our appointments
had fallen through for the next hour or so, so we did the obvious and decided
to start meetign people, but started with a prayer, asking that Heavenly Father
would guide us. Rught befoer we prayed, A conversation I had recently had iwth
Hermana Rubio and Hermana Gonzalez came to my mind, as we had discussed
miracles and rightous desires in the mission field where, in companionship exchanges
with a new misionery, she had asked not jsut for the specific family she wanted
to find, but also the house they would be in. So, we decide to try it out. I
had never asked specifically for the kidn of house or antyghin like that
before, jsut the family, and so we decided to ask for a yellow house with a
black fence and a white door where thsi fmaily of 5 lived. We ended to prayer,
rounded to corner, adn the secodn house on the bloxk was yellow. With a balck
fence. with a with door. And we met the fmaily who was inside and it was the
faily that we had been prayign for the entire wek, 2 soins, 1 daughter, a need
for the Gospel, desirous to go to church, it was such a powerful and yet so
simple testimony to me that when I alighj my will with God's if it's a
righteuos desire, He will bless and answer me. I think more than anything what
I've learned recently in the mssion is jsut how much the Lord is wil to answer
and bless me when when I am specific and listening.
I love this work, and I love my Heavenly Father.
Con mi amor eterno,
Hermana Rawlings
