Feeling good.....

Hola Friends and Family,

How is everyone doing? I hope you all had a good week. Mine was pretty good, a lot better than last week that is. Well it’s pretty hot over here still. But it’s cooling down little by little. I’ve begun to put on the pounds again due to the car share we have here. We have the car half the week and they have the car the other half. But what’s happening is that on the days we have the car we go out to all the farther appointments we have and when we are on bikes we go to all the close ones so that we don’t have to bike too far. So that’s how I started to put on the weight.

Anyway I had 2 quick experiences that I wanted to share about this week in particular. Well, we were looking for new people to teach and we had already done the knocking we were going to do on Friday without much success.  After seeing a less active we were going on the way to dinner at 5 o’clock when we got a phone call that the dinner had been changed to 6 o’clock.  So we decided to just go back to the street to go knock.  On the way back to the street I looked down a particular street and without thinking, turned.  So we started to knock the street and we found this family that let us right in. She is a single mom of 2 and is taking care of her very sick mother. Her eldest son was diagnosed with cancer about a year ago and since then she has been pretty heart broken and couldn’t find out why God allows bad things to happen to kids. Even though her son was above the age of 8 I shared chapter 8 heading in Moroni.  She started to cry and said that she goes and helps out in a child’s hospital and sees little kids every day die of some disease and just has hated God for it. But we invited her to read the chapter and pray about it and that we would come back next week. She will do it and I’m excited to see her next week.

The other experience is a member in the ward has a granddaughter who is about to have a baby who's arteries to her heart are mixed up; she is not a member of the church. And this little old lady is so cute. She told her that if the Elders gave her a blessing and if she had the faith; her baby would come out healed. So we had a member there, who has really strong faith, and we helped him with the blessing and he blessed her with the healing of her baby. And I know that it will come out fine. It was the same feeling I got when I received an answer that this church is true. I can’t wait to hear the doctor's reactions when they see that there is nothing wrong.

Anyway I love you all.
