Okay, so this week I'm at a really cruddy internet place where it took 10 minutes to load my page and the space bar is broken so I have to press it a few times every other word, so this email might be short, sorry.
Oh, and we have to do some survey too for the church. Ni sé que es, pero vamos.
Anyway,
so this week was interesting. It was probably one of the hardest weeks
on my mission, and included a very difficult night for my companion and
I, but oh well.
Let's just say that one of our investigators is absolutely ready
for baptism, but her husband that she doesn't love has trapped her into
staying with him, because he has friends in the law, and if she leaves
he can take away her kids. He says he's doing all this because he loves
her, but he's trapped her and she's miserable. My comp. and I just
prayed hard one night and were crying actually as we prayed for God to
help her.
We couldn't sleep that night at all. We didn't even fall asleep
until around 12:30 and even then it was rough. Knowing that everyone
that cares about me is praying for me helped though. So things were
really hard because we also had to stop going by her because her husband
(they aren't married, but they say husband and wife here for that
anyway) has prohibited us from his house.
We said goodbye and she was crying, and we felt horrible.
Then...
Long story short, she showed up on Sunday! My comp.and I talked in
Sacrament, and two people from the stake presidency talked afterward,
and all the talks tied together somehow (the Spirit) to talk about
getting passed trials. The presidency shared many scriptures about God
and His angels being with us in our hardest times, and this investigator
cried. Afterward we had a good talk, and although we might not still be
here for her baptism, she WILL get baptized someday, and we're so happy
that she continues to do what she can to get closer to God, in spite of
her situation.
Thank you all for your prayers,so much! I'mso glad to know that
I've got help from back home, and I want you all toknow my comp.and I
mention you all in our prayers, and we say LOTS of prayers in a day,
being missionaries^^
Um...Anything funny? Let's see... Well we took lots of fun
pictures,but this internet isn't good for my SD card,so... Yeah.Pretty
much you'll allhave to wait untilnext week probably. Sorry! I'llsee what
I cando though.
I'm getting pretty sickof this spacebar, so sorry again all,but I should have some time towrite letters today,bye!
