So, we have had 3 weeks of nonstop clouds and rain. Since I
have arrived here in Posadas we have had cold weather! Yesterday was the first
time it had cleared up and been nice. We were so happy! We were hoping that the
sunshine would last, but we woke up to a nice thunderstorm this morning. Oh
well.
Yesterday we passed by a less active sister to walk with her
to church. We clapped her house, but she couldn't come outside! They have two
doors on their house- one normal door and one that has a lot of bars and
padlock to keep the robbers out. She opened up her normal door and we saw that
she was all dressed and ready to go to church. Unfortunately, her younger
sister had gone out to a party the night before and had taken the other key! We
felt as if we were talking to an inmate. She wanted to go to church so badly
but couldn't! That was kind of a bummer. But we are going to have a Family
Night with them today, so we are excited for that.
Last week, again, we had a lot of investigators fall
through. And, due to the rain, we had troubles finding new people to teach.
When Sunday rolled around, we were worried that nobody would be at church. But
they came! An entire less active family was there, and a young man that we had
invited to church two weeks ago came! His name is Claudio, and we had only
spoken to him once (literally, we handed him a card and said he was welcome at
our Sunday services). Woohoo! Miracles happen when we work and show our faith.
God blessed us with a lovely Sunday.
Doctrine and Covenants 35:8
"For I am God, and mine arm is not shortened; and I
will show miracles, signs, and wonders, unto all those whobelieve on my name."
Love you all! Have a lovely week!
