Amazing week!

I haven’t learned so much in my life and I think we all needed this experience this week. This week we were with Hermana Mattos and Hermana Hernandez, they were having some trouble working together good and working and visiting people when they have time. Being with them was amazing. We started the week a little interesting because where the sisters are living they’re living with two other sisters so we were six girls in a little itty bitty apartment, with one bathroom and hardly any space for our air mattresses. Haha. But it was super fun because every night we were able to talk about how our day went and just talk.

The sisters are so amazing and love to learn. This week my companion and I were helping them to do street contacting and literally talk to every single person and when were tired we don’t go home until its night time. So that we can end the day feeling happy and that we gave all we could. This week I also learned about Christs love for his children. I read a story in the liahona that talks about a mother telling her daughter to not touch the hot stove. When the mom left her daughter touched the hot stove and ran and hid when her mom came back. When the mom came looking for her daughter she was thinking why is my daughter hiding and she knew that she was ashamed and sad for being disobedient and thinks that her mom will get mad. The mom thought a little, then found her daughter crying. She didn’t yell nor do anything rude. All she did was heal her burned finger and told her that its important that we elarn from our mistakes. In the talk it then explained that this is how our heavenly father looks at us. At times when we make mistakes and want to run and we are ashamed and don’t want to repent, but all our father in heaven wants to do is heal us and sometimes we don’t permit him. One of the hardest things for me is forgiving myself but when I read this talk, I really then did understand the amount of love our Heavenly Father has for every single one of us.

Talking with the sisters every week, getting to know every single one of them and their conversion is so beautiful. I know that every person that we get to know or talk to has an impact in our lives. we may not know it or notice it in that exact moment, but that is why it’s important we learn something new every day. So that’s my invitation to you all. To try to notice and take time at the end of your day to meditate and be grateful for the things that you learned and understand now.

I love you all and hope you have an awesome week. And enjoy the sun because its super cold here¡ Chau¡
