Week 27
This week was a lot of crazyness. Conference was SO good!
It's like Christmas on the mission...but better because it doesn't make you
trunky. We are continuing to have more lessons with members which makes for
more excited members to share their testimonies with their nonmember friends
and family.Win Win. Sister Pajo pointed out to me that I hit 8 months today!
There is a little time monster hiding in my apartment. I saw President like
twice this week. YES. So great. He met our completed family that is being
baptized this coming Sunday on Easter Sunday. (: SO excited and happy for them.
They cannot wait to be baptized.
This week we totally had a scare. We were walking home at
about 8 pm and the husband of one of our investigators staggers over to us. I
could tell he was drunk and so we started walking away. Then he calls out to
us: Sisters! That message you shared with me last week was so beautiful. I felt
like I want to change. So we kinda looked at him surprised as he got closer to
us. Then he started walking faster and yelled: But why are we fighting?! Me and
my wife are always fighting since you started coming. And He totally raised his
hand to hit me! What the heck. So then we just took off. Walked as fast as I
could. I felt so sad for him, he was so confused.
There is a sister in my apartment who has only been out for
4 weeks. She barely had her new missionary melt down last night.I was so
impressed! Anyway- I read with her some pages in my journal to help her see how
I got used to being a missionary. It was so cool looking back and thinking of
all the things I overcame. I told her she could do it, but it's going to take a
lot of patience with herself.
I finished The Book of Mormon this last week only focusing
on The Atonement. What a great experience it has been. Especially to learn that
everything we do as members of this church is to access that power of the
Atonement and help others access that power too. I started reading Jesus The
Christ last week. I really wanted to read it after studying The Atonement for
the last few months. I feel like I am really coming to understand who my Savior
is and why he did what he did while he was on the earth. I know He lives, I
love him and am so grateful to Him.
Have a good week all!
Love
Sister Gaspar de Alba
