Ok ok I dont even know where to begin! This week was another amazing week that absolutely flew by!
We
were planning on a baptism next week with a 25 year old Mom named
Carolina. She had a baptismal date for 2 weeks ago, but two days before
her baptism, she had her baby. We pushed her date back 2 weeks so she
could recover and physically be ready for her baptism. We visited her on
thursday and she told us that her husband just left her and her 3 year
old son and newborn baby. We shared a scripture with her and said that
the Lord is always by her side. She started to cry then said,¨I want to
be baptized...today.¨ An 8 year old girl in the ward was having her
baptism that day in 2 hours, so we immediately called the Bishop for an
interview to help her out with her husband and a baptismal interview at
the same time. Carolina was baptized that day and now on her road to the
temple. Carolina is an example of strength to me. I know that through
Christ, all of our unwanted feelings of sorrow, pain or guilt can be
swept away.
We had talked to Santos about missionary work and
asked him if he knew anyone that would like to hear our message. He said
he would have to think about it. The next day we went to his house and
he said,¨ I have a family I want to introduce you guys to, lets go
right now!¨ We taught this new family and invited them to church. They
said they would see if they had time and Santos said,¨Theres always time
for God! We are all going Sunday.¨ Santos hasnt even been a
member for 2 weeks and has joined the excitement and understands the
importance of missionary work.
I love my calling! I love this perfect gospel. I
love the people here and I love serving the Lord. I know that the Savior
lives and loves us.
Love,
Hermana Sherman
