This week was a little different. We
were doing swell working with all of our investigators and recent
converts... then BAM! We lost almost all of our investigators. It was
pretty rough to have appointment after appointment fall through. However,
whenever an appointment falls through, Heavenly Father seems to have
something better in store. We just have to follow the Spirit and find out
what it is. The other day almost all of our appointments
fell through so we were just walking trying to find opportunities to
talk to people. We passed a house pretty far back in our area and there
were 2 sisters washing clothes. We asked if we could help and they said
yes. We told them to take a seat as we washed their clothes and began to
talk to them. It turns out they are inactive members of the church for 5
years and a family of 6! We were able to build confidence with them and
made appointments to teach them. I know that we were suppose to meet
them for a reason and that the Lord is aware of His lost sheep.
We had a couple of the youth go out and work with
us. It amazes me how prepared these youth are! They are so excited to do
missionary work and arent scared or ashamed to share the Gospel with
their friends. They are so strong in their circumstances and such good
examples to me. Alma 37.35
All of the mosquito eggs hatched, so now there are
literally clouds of mosquitos. We are learning to bathe in repellent
which helps a little. Im trying to admire and love ALL of the creations
of God, but Im having a little harder time figuring out the purpose of
mosquitos.
Hondurans or catrachos are hilarious. Im learning
the differences when the Latin women are mad and yelling and when they
are just talking loud. When there is a lot of women in a room and want
to talk, they just talk louder so everyone can hear them until
eventually everyone is yelling. I cant help but laugh sometimes. The
women are so strong here due to their difficult circumstances. They are
great Mothers and Daughters of Heavenly Father.
One of the greatest parts of being a missionary, is
that we can feel the love Heavenly Father has for His children. I know
that Heavenly Father knows each and everyone of us personally. I also
know that He will never get sick of us praying or asking Him questions.
He will always answer our prayers in His own time and by His own will
because He knows whats best for us, and sees the whole picture. Never
doubt His love for you. It´s there even if you dont want it.
Hope you all have a fantastic week!
Love,
Hermana Sherman
