Wow, what a crazy week. Hna Beeston left this morning to go home and it was so sad to say goodbye. I wish I could have had more time with her. We seriously were instant best friends. Even better we both wanted to work really hard. I am so grateful that I got to be with her because she taught me a lot about consecration.
Our time here in the mission really is short and it is so important to give it our all even when times get hard. This week we found an amazing investigator. She was walking in the street and she had a face like she wanted to talk to us so we stopped and talked to her and supposedly Hna Novoa and Buttler had taught her one time, but then she moved houses and couldn't get a hold of them. We put a cita with her and returned to her house and she is super interested in the gospel. Her husband was killed in Ecuador in April and she is now living alone with her son of 4. She has just been so sad but she called Hna Novoa and Buttler after our lesson and told them that she just feels so much peace when were in her house. She also came to church on Sunday. I know that we are going to be able to help her find the peace and comfort in her life that she is looking for. I´m so grateful that Hna Beeston and I were paying attention when we saw her in the street because I know God put us in her path for a reason. She really is so prepared to hear the message of the gospel. I am so excited to keep teaching her and have the ability to see the healing powers of the atonement take place in her life.
I know that God knows us personally and is always there for us if we but only go to him. He lets us go through trials because He wants us to become like Him and we can only do that if we go through these trials and learn from them and improve. And even more we start to understand what true happiness is.
I love you all and hope you all have a great week!
