This week was good! We have been working with Estella`s son Emmanuel and her mom Zulema. They are really sweet, humble, and fun people to talk to. We are teaching them about the gospel so they can join Estella by being baptized in January, so keep them in your prayers!!! Emmanuel is starting to love reading the Book of Mormon, which is awesome since normally he keeps quiet and doesn't say anything. Now he is starting to open up and be more friendly with us! And Estella is doing good. She seems more friendly and even though she gets bullied for being baptized, she seems to fight off the haters and grows her testimony along the way. She is awesome!
On Saturday it stormed and rained....like, a LOT. Most of our area was flooded and I didn `t have an umbrella so I got soaked...It definitely wasn't my favorite day. I lost my patience a lot that day, but it definitely has me thinking, What can I do better in situation like that? How can I be strong even when everything is going wrong? My companion told me to turn to God as a stress relief, not just whatever is comfortable in the moment. And he`s right, we should be turning to Him when things are going bad AND when it`s going good. I know from many times in my mission that God puts these trials in our lives to help us grow, with knowledge, skills, spirituality, repentance, etc. It has been such a blessing to see myself grow as well, becoming more reliable on God and the Savior Jesus Christ, which allows me to be independent from the carnal world and dependant on the Atonement and the power of God as His authorized representative here in Santa Fe.
Love yall!
