Well this past week was a tough one, not going to lie, but I came to appreciate more, and grow more during those weeks. The one hard thing about a mission is you grow so much love for the people around you. NO, not at all a bad thing, its just hard when they don't want to hear about the gospel or they don't keep there commitments. It truly breaks my heart and I see a glimpse of how Heavenly Father feels when we choose right and wrong and truly use our agency.
I had a couple amazing lessons/miracles this week. The first one with with Ashley. Ashley is the very first person I contacted on my mission. We had a lesson with her this past Thursday and her heart has been more softened week by week. I love her so much and her dogs. (justice, is the one I have a picture of sitting on my lap) When I first had a lesson with her, she told us that she was never going to change from her religion, but she would like to learn more. Over time her heart has been opened, our last lesson with her, she really opened up and the way she phrased her questions and answers she truly is being taught by the spirit, you can see the spirit working in her. She also invited us to her wedding and I'm crossing my fingers, toes, and legs that President will let me go. I love her so much, this is what makes all the hard times worth it.
Next we have Stacey, I can't really say much about her lesson, but how amazing, she is asking inspired questions. The spirit totally took over and gave Stacey more confidence in herself and for her to make and keep commitments. I love her so much, she has totally done a total 360. She is amazing, again lessons and people like Ashley and Stacey makes the hard times so worth it.
We have been having a hard time keeping appointments with Marffa and Fas. We randomly went over and we finnally caught Marffa. She let us in and we shared a video with her. We showed her the video of "I stand all amazed" by vocal point, it was so powerful. After we asked Marffa how she felt and she just kept resaying "oh how it is wonderful" and then she said "I can feel it in here" as she pointed to her heart. It was a very tender moment. Marfaa I feel, is wanting to be baptized, we have even found people in our ward to help us teach her English, but Fas is dragging his feet. We are really trying to work with him. Marffa is solid, she told us since we showed her the gospel library, where you can switch the language to Chukeese. She has watched 3 hours of general conference talks!
Also President and Sister Love announced that we get to go to "MORMONNIGHT" a Royals baseball game, I'm so excited! So watch for me on TV. Sister Love said we could do the kiss cam, she told us to kiss the Book of Mormon! haha so you know I will:)
Love you all, I hope you are all doing amazing.
