Last week was wonderful. It went by so fast though.
Elder Dube came to tour our mission so we got to meet with him
Wednesday and Thursday. He had so many good things to say! Also, he
was just so happy. He kept on saying,"That's GREAT!" Very
enthusiastically.
He said that when he was first called to be a general authority he had
dinner with all the brethren. He said they all ordered light meals
like salads, and he ordered a lamb chop.
The next morning Elder Holland was at breakfast alone so he decided to
seize the opportunity! He sat with Elder Holland with a glass of water
and asked him for advice. The first piece of advice was, "Just be
yourself. Don't worry about anyone else. Just be Yourself." He said
that was actually the advice Elder Packer had given him (Elder
Holland) when he was newly called! (Yea, so you're right mom and dad!
Haha) Elder Holland then proceeded to tell him (elder Dube) that he
would do well to exercise and watch what he ate. Lol Elder Dube then
said that was his advice for all of us. Note taken.
This week we made a lot of progress with our investigators from
Honduras. By a miracle she suddenly comprehends everything and was
teaching everyone the gospel of Jesus Christ in gospel principles. She
is planning on being baptized this Saturday. Our wonderful members
have even already taken her to the temple to show her! And she loved
it.
We also had a really cool experience this week with a friend of some
less actives. She was so sweet and so open. It was an amazing
spiritual experience. She was our miracle for the week. (Besides Irma.
THAT is a miracle. Pray for it to go through.)
Then she dropped us today. While we were walking into Walmart, via the phone.
So last week was great. This week...
The less active who re-started the Book of Mormon is still reading it!
We only saw him for 5 minutes but he showed us on his phone and showed
us how he listens to it. His wife was floored.
The whole family of girls also came to church!
The Lord is very merciful. Good things are still happening. There's
always good things happening honestly, and that is because of our
Savior Jesus Christ. Because of Him, everything will work out for good
for those that love Him. And if it doesn't work out here, it will
workout in the eternities. That is the promise of our loving Heavenly
Father. I know He lives and that this is His church.
I love and miss you!
Love,
Hermana Wallis
