Lluvia, Lluvia, Lluvia!
This week has been
extremely wet and cold but Heavenly Father is definitely blessing Claypole with
our faith. We received a reference from the Hermanas of Burzaco. So the day
when there was a storm outside and it was raining, windy and freezing cold we
decided to visit Sabrina. We shouted her name because it was raining so hard, It’d
be impossible to hear us if we clapped. She then opened her door and let us in!
We taught her the Restoration and during the lesson she was asking like
"There’s a church that exists with the authority of God?" And
totally understood the apostasy and the reasoning why there’s a lot of
different churches. She, Let me repeat Sabrina, asked us when she can be
baptized. Haha. We then told her the date and she wants us to teach her daughter
that is 9 years old also. She said that she is looking for a church to attend
but doesn’t know exactly what she’s searching for. Ending our lesson, she asked
us if she can buy a white dress for her baptism. Sabrina is such a blessing and
answer to our prayers. With this experience it helps me have a testimony that
when we work hard and have faith, he will help us, we just need to have faith
and endure in Gods time. Yes, the life and the mission is hard, but i know that
God is preparing people’s hearts right now that are ready to hear the gospel,
and just need us to share something simple with these people to help them
remember the light of Christ in their lives. Always take the time to share the
gospel with someone and be patient with Our Heavenly Father. When we show our
faith and act on it, we will always receive the blessings we’re looking
for.
Some fun things that
happened this week is that, in a lesson with an investigator, we were giving
her a tour of the church with nephew. And just the primary was practicing for
their primary program. The primary president invited them to church and participate
in the program. Then, a little girl that’s in the primary whispered to the
primary president that she wants Las Hermanas, hear them sing their song. I don’t
know why but in this moment, I just felt like a missionary and the love of the
ward. I have never felt the amount of love the people have for missionaries.
Sitting in the sacrament room, watching them sing, it was like I don’t know. I
just love the mission so much and all the people in Claypole.
Carnival! Every third
weekend in Claypole, they have a carnival. So my companion and I decided to
contact people about the gospel in this event. We talked to a lady that was
selling cotton candy, we then bought cotton candy and it was the weirdest thing
in my life. Because it’s so humid in Argentina the cotton candy was like eating
itself, and dissolving because it was so humid! And it’s the messiest thing
ever to eat with humidity. Pobrecita mi companera, she had sugar all over her
jacket. Haha.
And lastly, teaching English.
I never knew that teaching English is actually really hard. I am so happy I’m
learning English to Spanish because Spanish to English is so complicated. Haha.
But that’s fun, we have classes of English every Tuesday and Friday. Oh yeah,
by the way, I think I’m a pro now at leading music. I’ve led the music in all
three hours in church for the whole time I’ve been in Claypole. It’s like I’m
the only person that knows how. Haha. But it’s fun, I love serving the El
Barrio de Claypole.
I love you guys so much
and enjoy this week! First week of August. Woohoo! Choy!
Love,
Hermana Davis
