This week was crazy. Lots of things happened! We dropped Hna Dibble off at the office on Thursday! After nine months of serving with one of the best missionaries I know, it was time for her to go to blessed Piedmont. We took lots of pictures with our favorite people and just generally had a good time. The whole ward is very concerned to know if we're doing alright because it's been such a long time! But it's all good.
This is the Spanish Equipo de Hermanas. Hna Bucknum, Hna Smith, me,
Hna Dibble, and Hna Workman. Hna Workman just went home, so now it's down to four.
Terrific Trio
This week, we went out to breakfast with Hna Cruz, Hna Vizcarra, Cindhy, Carlos David, Jefferson and Kaylin. They were soooo funny. I just about died laughing the whole time. Funny story, though - Cindhy ordered coffee, and we hadn't taught her about the word of wisdom yet. Well, Hna Vizcarra told her about it, and Cindhy told us she'd never drink it again. Well, that was way too easy. We explained the Word of Wisdom more in depth the next day, and she bore a very powerful testimony to us about the truthfulness of the Gospel. She explained that she was talking to her mom and daughter who both live in Honduras about the Gospel and about how it's changed her life and the life of her son. She sees the fruits of the Gospel. She said she particularly loves how we never tell her she HAS to believe something that we teach - we always teach her to pray to Heavenly Father to see if it is true. She said her mom questioned the Book of Mormon, and Cindhy just said "you can't say it's not true. Read it, and pray to Heavenly Father to know that it's the word of God." It was a very sweet experience to hear her testify of the truthfulness of the Gospel.
Camila and Neftali were confirmed this week which was amazing! They were both so happy to finally be full members of the Church and they know that it's true. Their simple testimonies are the best you can get.
Well, this is the best thing to be doing. I know this work is the work of Heavenly Father. He is the Master Planner. He is so detail oriented and never forgets a thing! Sometimes things get hard, and sometimes we can't see the reason that things happen, but He is 100% in control. He knows exactly what's going on, and truly desires to help us if we'll just ask Him. That's all He asks. We visited Hna Cielo this week, and her counsel for Hna Dibble was "donde este, echele ganas" which basically means, "wherever you are, do your best."
I love y'all and hope you have a great week :)
...and loving it
