Working Hard 7/13/15

Hola!!!!!!!!

Wow,  I dont know where this week went, its crazy to think that its already been another week. We are working hard here in Rengo. This week we had divisions and it was weird because it was the first time in seven and a half months that I was on the other end of divisions. I am so accustomed to being the one who has to lead the divisions and help the Hnas, it has been super weird not having to be the one that makes sure the hnas are alright and that the work is going well in their sectors. Hna Hellbusch came to Rengo with me and it was so great! Mom, she knows Jill Walton. Also she is friends with Mason Merrill. Small world. But it was great to work with her because she is such a great missionary and I learned a lot.

 

We also had a really neat experience last night. We had a referral for a family of less actives and we passed by last night and the Hna told us her story. Two weeks ago she felt the need to go back to church and she didnt know where to start to begin the process of coming back. But she decided to go to the house of her mom that day and after she arrived the bishop and his first councilor arrived at the house and they started talking and the bishop invited her to come back to church. She told us how real she felt the atonement was. She said that she had always been on the end telling others about the atonement, that it was real and that he always had His arms open to accept them but she said that it has been the best experience to feel it in her own life. She decided that she is going to go back to the temple and that she is going to receive all of the blessings that God has for her. It was such a powerful testimony to me of the reality of the atonement. What she said touched me. Even more, I love that because our leaders were fulfilling with their callings in visiting those who are in need of aid, they were able to answer a prayer of a women who didnt know how to come back. It is so important that we magnify our callings, not because other people are going to see if we dont do things wel rather because God needs us in his work and if we dont work, He has children that He wont be able to touch in the moment that they need it.

 

I love you all!
con amor
