Mom and Dad!
Hi, Happy P-Day!
Nope, I have not
adjusted to the weather yet, it just adjusted back to me and it's chilly again
:) Glad to hear that all is well on the home front, enjoying the temple and the
calm of post AP testing.
For me this week had a
lot of ups and downs, a lot of hard things but lots of obvious miracles as
well. Opposition.
For example, We had a
lesson scheduled with Mr V which was first pushed back two hours, then fell out
and we felt like we had wasted so much time driving to and from places, then we
got out of the street car at the planned place where we were going to meet Mr V
and I made eye contact with another man from Nigeria, Mr D. We talked to him about
his story and his faith and we walked to church together from there. He met the
missionaries and was getting to know the church a little bit in Italy before he
was transferred to Germany. He had been praying and fasting on the day that we
met for guidance from the Lord and had felt prompted to come to the place where
we found each other. Prays, answered.
On another day, we had
another lesson fall out and didn't know what to do with our time so we went
public transportation chatting, on the way we realized that we were near a friend
with whom we haven't had contact for more than a month, he doesn't answer his
phone and isn't home when we come by, I had kind of given up on visiting and
trying there, thinking that he was no longer interested, but we arrived and he
was home, excited to see us, and we set up an appointment together. Last night
Elder Clemente and I had had a long day after 3 fallen out appointments and
crazy changes to plans. Tiredness. Usually I really enjoy chatting with people
on the street but no one wanted to talk and Elder Clemente and I were both a
bit bummed, we endured and sacrificed more time than what we had planned and
met Mr A, a man from Mexico studying to be a doctor here. We're meeting this
week. Also, our apartment heater isn't working, nor is our water heater. Cold
showers after running are refreshing!
Life is good, it was
really a week full of miracles, answered prayers, and fun.
Love you!
Un abrazo!
