Just so ya know, we didn't have transfers!!! I get to have one more change with Hermana Cordova. I am so happy, we have so much to do and Salado is just the greatest.
We had a really productive week, the Lord has blessed us with so many prepared people, and we were able to find a family that went to church on Sunday! We had contacted a house and left a card, and then we asked for referrals from a member and she gave us the name of the woman who lived in this house...we were like um yep that would be a sign. Her name is Doris, and her daughters went to the talent show that we had last week, and it was just awesome. We were kind of bumming around Saturday night, it had rained all day (it was WONDERFUL) and everyone was cooped up inside, so we decided to go and try to get in and contact the referral. We went and clapped and her daughters let us in, and we had a lesson with them and with her nieces. The next morning, we had to take a bus to go get some less actives and investigators, drop them off in the church, and then run to go get this family. It was nuts, because we were like running to their house and we saw this group of people pass by and it was Doris with her nephew, Eduardo, niece Vanessa, daughters Jessica and Johanna. I just about died of a heart attack. They had a great experience and we are going to have a FHE with them this week.
Also, we are still working with the Hermana Martinez and her son, Alejandro. He has a baptismal date for October 10th, pray for him and her, please please please. We are trying hard to activate his family so that they can get to the temple.
We are working with another lady, Victoria, who really wasn't progressing. We weren't sure what to teach her, and honestly, we were going to drop her, but we prayed during weekly planning and we both thought about the book My Family, that talks about family history. We had a lesson with her and she was so excited, she is going to talk with her sister so that she can fill it out (her sister is going to be visiting her, so that is why she can't go to church. Might as well do something productive).
Today we went to the temple with Ramona and Lucia (recent converts). My companion and I bore our testimonies and I felt the spirit so strong. I love the temple. I wish we could go more often, but that is okay. Something that I have realized is that everything we do in the church, everything that we study, learn, memorize, feel, whatever, everything points to the temple. Everything we have to endure is worth it when we understand and make eternal covenants with our Heavenly Father. I love that so much. That is the difference between the LDS church and the thousands of others: we will be together for the eternities. What a blessing.
I love you, and I hope that you all have a good week!
Hermana Farish
