Hola a todos! ¿Cómo están? Ustedes siempre están en mis oraciones! Well how goes life for ya'll? I heard there have been some things happening! Drake, Post Malone, and Kendrick Lamar came out with new albums?? WHAT?! That is crazy!!
Well life just continues to roll on here in Catamarca! We are working really hard with our baptismal dates and they are doing so good! Cami changed her baptismal date to the next day which is a Sunday because her mom is changing her work schedule so she can start coming to church! That is definitely a big miracle for us! Alejandra's date is a week earlier than what we planned because she is just progressing so fast it is incredible! That girl is ready to get on the covenant path and follow her Savior!
Well to explain this title a little bit of this email, Elder Scott and I had a miracle that was a big tender mercy for us. 2 days ago we went out on the street after call after call. No luck at all, very discouraging. When we would talk to the people on the street they would always say no, and others wouldn't help us with directions to get to places. I was feeling horrible! Absolutely horrible! We went to knock on some doors of people we had contact with in the past, but none of them answered. The discouragement definitely kicked in. We decided to walk back to the church and still continued to grind and nobody was giving us the time of day, until the last people we talked to. It was a man with his wife and baby and I stopped them and asked them if they wanted to hear a message, they said how they were on the way to go do something. So Elder Scott asked if they wanted to hear the message another time, so we tried getting an address from them. They told us how they lived farther away, but later to find out they aren't too far. The husband looked at me and said you know what, tell me your message. I showed him the book of mormon, and read him the introduction where it invites all to read the book. I told him God loves all of His children, He doesn't care about your choices, your situation, nothing. He loves you perfectly, and invites you to read this book. After I explained that his wife looked at me and asked me to explain more what missionaries were. I told her we leave our homes and families for 2 years, to spread the gospel. She immediately started to cry when I told her how I have a family waiting for me at home. She asked me why I would want to leave them, and that is when it hit me of why I was there. I told her how important this message was to me, and how I know that the book I was showing them can change your life, I offered it to the husband and he was shocked that I would give him such an incredible book. After that contact they texted us and said that they knew that God put us in their path that night.
I share that story for you all, to show that God is mindful of us. We are in His thoughts always, and He genuinely cares about us and our happiness. God knew that Elder Scott and I needed that contact. He knew the discouragement was weighing me down immensely, so He helped us find those people. God also knew that that family needed that message. He knew that they needed that book and I am grateful that He put me in their path.
Well I love ya'll! I know I speak Spanish everyday but I will always say, "Ya'll" to ya'll hahah. Do me a favor, and never miss a study in the book of mormon. Whenever you feel life weighing you down, whenever you feel like you are stuck, whatever it may be, grab that book. I promise you it will take away the sadness and replace it with joy. Your hearts will be filled.
I will see you all next week! Don't forget to email me if you ever need anything!
Love, Elder Weese
