So, we had a rollercoaster of a week! We are currently teaching a lovely family who are super awesome, but not married yet. The Spirit testified super hardf to them about the importance of fmaily, they were super down to get married, everythign was good, and then Satan happened. Just before bed time, we got a frantic call from the mother, who franticly started telling us all about the mess that Satan had caused, and that there was no way they were going to be able to get married and several other things. We went to her house the day after to help console her and figure out wht the heck was goign on with a huge prayer in our hearts, and literally all we could do was listen and then offer to call Preisethood holders to give her a blessing. She readily accepted, they gave a beasutiful blessign of comfort and strength and promised her that she would know what to do.
Two days later, we recieved a text message tellign her that she and the famther of this fmaily were fianlyl able to sit down and talk about things, and it all ended up beign a huge mnisunderstanding and everything´s totally fine again. I have never so grateful for the power of God and how much more potetn His infulence is than Satan´s. And also how petty Satan is in every single little thign. He doesn´t want ANYONE to be happy, and I know that will always attack right before the good thgins happen. He doesn´t want us to take steps toward our salvation, adn he will do everythgin in his power to stop that.
Just to illustrate how petty Satan is, in retaliation and to keep us from h}gettign thigns done, on Saturday my companion got bit by a dog. It came out of knowwhere, didn't even bark, bit her, and then took five more steps, laid down and took a nap. What the heck dog. Thankfuly, we were in front of a member´s house, so we got it washed and bandaged and then went on our merry way and honestly, we had a super epic day but hye, there was Satan just casually tryign to ruin everything. Typical.
For more on how Satan is a jerk, please read the super aweseom talk called "The War Goes On" because that is a great talk and defintely changed how I think about thigns.
I love you all, and I know that Satan only upping his game becasue the Lord is upping His. It is time for us to rise up out of the dust, shake off the chains by which we are bund, and get to work. There isn't much time left until our Savior returns, and the Lord is hastenign His work and purifyign all of us in the process. His ways are perfect, and I love Him.
Con mi amor eterno,
Hermana Rawlings
