Anyyyyway. We actually
had a great week! Sadly we didn’t have any baptisms but we still worked hard
and saw the Lord´s hand in His work every step of the way!
Alright. So I haven’t
given y’all a Spanish update in quite some time but here is a beautiful story
about my Spanish. It is gettin better every day! I’m still not completely
fluent but every can understand me and I understand everyone! (It’s a great
combination) but there are always some people that say "I can’t understand
her. She (my companion) speaks better" and that really discourages me. And
lots of times I get all upset and come to the conclusion that it would be
better if I just don’t talk. Yup. I just won’t say anything in the lesson. And
after 10 months, I finally learned my lesson. (Of course it took me 10 months
because sometimes I’m a little stubborn haha) but last night someone told me
that they can’t understand me. So I got discouraged so I said a prayer to ask
God to give me patience and love and all that good stuff. Then the craziest
thought came into my little brain - who is really telling you that you don’t
speak well? Who is telling you that you don’t need to talk? Or you don’t need
to share your testimony of Jesus Christ? SATAN! Satan is trying to make me
think that what the spirit guides me to say is not worth anything. So JUST TO
SPITE SATAN, I talked in that lesson. And I bore sincere testimony. And the
lady understood me. I know that this happens in the real world too. You don’t
have to be speaking a different language for Satan to make you think that you aren’t
good enough. So don’t let him win! Good try Satan.
The latest excuse to
not let us come into a house and teach: my bones are swollen. Alrighty ciao.
We had a crazy storm
here in Argentina and in the middle of lunch with obispo and his family, the
tree in front of their house fell over and landed on their only car! Poor
things already have a lot of stress and didn´t need anything else but they
really kept it cool and trusted in God. Luckily, everyone is safe and their car
doesn’t have a lot of damage!
And with all the rain,
almost everyone in the town has lost their jobs. Everyone works in the field
and the fields got flooded so now everyone is selling more bread and empanadas
and things like that to provide for their families! Pray for Argentina!
Life is too good
friends! And the best peace comes from Jesus Christ
John 16:33 reads,
“These things I have spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace. In the
world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the
world.”
True happiness, hope
and peace comes from His atoning sacrifice! Find peace through Him!
Love you all! Thanks
for everything!
