Hola Mamacita!
Things are going great!
Yes, we are having a baptism this week on Wednesday! His name is Jose Ivarra
and the special thing is that President Jardine is coming to baptize him! He said
he's going to memorize the baptism pray in Spanish! We are super excited!
Well, it turns out that
we weren't allowed to go to the event on Wednesday, so we just went about our
normal day.
Things with Hna Stout
are great! Her first name is Krista. We've been having lots of fun! Our miles
this month have been cut down a lot, so we've been biking a bit more! It's lots
of fun!
I am fine with money, I
am being honest! Don't worry about money or food, because I am doing great with
what I have been given.
We had a temple tour
with one of our investigators, Jennifer. It was great! We also went to her baby
shower since her due date is in 2 weeks. She is super great, but We're going to
stop teaching her because she won't come to church!!!
It finally rained this
week! Not a bunch, but we were still excited. We were with one of our members
coming out of a lesson and it was raining, some we started dancing in the rain.
:) it was fun.
Hna Fly came to visit on
exchanges with the STLs! It was so good to see her!
We've been trying to
visit more members this week, and one house we went to was a less active named
Jonathan. He is probably in his 20s and he lives with his mom, who is very
active. We talked with him about why he doesn't read the scriptures and he said
it was because he had some doubts. We asked a few more questions and he said he
didn't agree with our stance about gay people. We tried to explain our beliefs
and that God still loves all of his children, but he wouldn't listen. Then I
asked him how he felt his relationship was with Heavenly Father and if he ever
prays. He said no, he doesn't. Then we bore testimony about God's love for us
as our Father in Heaven. We asked him if he would pray to feel God's love and
he refused. Hna Stout, the active member, and I started crying, but Jonathan
remained hardened and uncomfortable. The spirit was so strong, but he wasn't
ready and Satan just had such a strong grasp on him. It was devastating! It is
so sad to see people that just refuse to feel the spirit and be healed. God's
love is there, but they just refuse to see it. I have such a strong testimony
that God loves each and everyone of his children so unconditionally, knowing
that some of them will never love him back. I know that he reaches out to all
of his children, but some of them are so blinded that they don't even see it. I
am so thankful to have this amazing and perfect gospel in my life! I am so
thankful for the family that I have on this earth and for the true love that
never ceases!
Para Siempre Dios esté
con Vos,
Con Amor,
Hermana Twitchell
