¡Hola buenos días!
I just want to preface this email with an important announcement: never get the "Deluxe" car wash at a Holiday gas station... it doesn't dry the car after the wash...... what kind of car wash doesn't dry your car at the end!? We had to bolt home and dry it off with paper towels before the water spots set in.
So I had probably the most epic exchange this week with my hijo, Elder Smith. We forgot to set goals at the beginning, but during my personal study, I was reading in Ether 12 about faith and miracles, and the Spirit slapped me in the face and was like, "You gotta set some goals, man." We looked at our day, and concluded with the expectations to get 8 lessons and 5 new people. It would truly take a miracle to hit these goals.
Most of the lessons that we had planned for at the beginning of the day had been cancelled, but that couldn't stop us. We talked.. with... EVERYONE! It really was a miracle that most people were super down to talk with us, and we had awesome encounters with some awesome people. By the end of the day, we did indeed hit our 8 lesson goal. Even better though was that for our very last lesson, we knocked the door, and we were let into a house full of 13-15 people in this one living room.... sooo I'm pretty sure we hit our goal of 5 new people ⭐⭐⭐
So we found this really cool guy named Ciro, and we have been trying so hard for the past 2 weeks to get in his home and teach him and his family. However, due to bad luck and bad planning, we have had to move this visit back 6362528 times. But this past Thursday, we had this visit set up. All was good to go. We knock his door. He let us in. It was all coming together. But not ten seconds after we sat down did we receive a call that we had a meeting with our Mission President and our Stake that we were uninformed about. We had to get up, say sorry, and walked out to book it to this meeting...... JUST to find out that it was a Stake President training meeting which we most definitely did not need to attend 😑🙃
But one of the coolest thing that I learned in my personal studies this week was that any miracle that has ever happened was the result of faith.
"And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles until after their faith; wherefore they first believed in the Son if God." (Ether 12:18)
If you would like to see more miracles in your lives, look first to see where you faith is at, and you will see wonders.
I love you all!
