Week 46 - Nasville Providence D - Happy 4th of July


Hola mi familia! Happy 4th of July!


This week was awesome!


The best part of the week was definitely Sunday. Yeimi and José came to church again and absolutely loved it. They were able to stay all three hours this time. At one point I looked over at Yeimi and she looked like her eyes were watery, so I think she really felt the spirit during testimony meeting. Then we took their 3 year old daughter to primary, and they were a little nervous because she is really shy and hasn't been around other kids before. But it turns out she loved it too! They tried to leave third hour because they thought their daughter would be hungry, but when they went to get her from primary, the daughter wouldn't leave. She was actually avoiding eye contact so she wouldn't have to leave. It was super cute. So they stayed for third hour. And it was great because José had the chance to have an interview with bishop and talk about his situation with the divorce/marriage. It was all around a great day of church. And I counted and there were 17 investigators/less actives that were able to attend today. Some of them were brought by member friends. It was the fullest gospel principles I've ever been in. It was just awesome. 


We also were able to meet with an investigator that we found last week. Her name is ilda. She is from Honduras, la lima. Which I'm pretty sure was one of Emilie areas. But while she was in Honduras, she was going to church for about a year and a half, and she wanted to get baptized but she couldn't because her husband was here in the states and they weren't married yet. So fast forward 6 years and she is now here. We only met with her for a few minutes, but she told us how she wants to get baptized, but it would just take time because her husband doesn't really like Mormons and they still aren't married. But we told her that we would love to start teaching her the lessons again to work with her to be baptized. We also found out that her sister, who was baptized 6 years ago, lived with ilda and wanted us to visit her as well.


 It was a super cool blessing to find them, because I've been feeling like we are finding a lot of people here, but no one was really sticking out as "coming forth"(d+c 20:37) but now after this week's progress with José and Yeimi and with this new investigator, I feel like I've found one of the reasons I'm serving here at this time. 

I love elder black and he is really determined to work his hardest to the end. There is a lot we can still do in the next two weeks.
