First things first- last night when we were in a trio with
Sister Daines and she was driving, a deer ran full on into our car. Poor thing.
Don't worry, it was okay and ran away perfectly fine. Also, the car is okay
too. Now it's just a funny story!
Best news ever- JOSE GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!!! But the best part
is that Domingo baptized him!! It has been such a blessing to see that
happening! To see someone that I love and was just baptized 3 months ago
baptizing another person that I love! Being a missionary is such a
blessing! Being able to help others come to our Savior is the greatest thing.
Domingo and Santa are super nervous but super excited
because their son Jose who's 15 just left Guatemala on Friday to start the trek
up here to Paducah! He will travel on foot, truck or bus the entire way. We
were watching pioneer videos yesterday with them and it just hit me so hard
that Santa and Domingo and their family have done the same thing- they travel
countless miles to have a better life together. We talked about how part of the
reason they were led to come here was not only to provide better for their
family but also to receive the blessings of the gospel. I know that Heavenly
Father led them here to hear the message of the Restoration of the gospel and
to learn how they can be with their family forever.
Ana and Jose are best friends- it's so cute! He had us put
this picture of the two of them on his baptismal program
I know that we can look back in our lives and see that
Heavenly Father has truly guided us. I know that in my life especially, I
had to travel through some pretty difficult things to get to where I am but I
know that it is all part of the plan that Heavenly Father has for me. I know
that in the end His plan is for me to return to Him and live with my
family forever. We just need to continue with faith and trust in our God.
I found out Saturday that I will be staying in Paducah for another transfer. I
love this area, I LOVE the people here but for some unspoken reasons
I was just really ready to leave and so it was hard to hear that news. I know
that the Lord has need of me here whether I can see it or not. He will not
put us in places where we cannot grow. I am choosing to look at these next 6
weeks as a time to grow and I am choosing to have joy and to love every second
of it. I've already seen so many miracles here in Paducah and I can't wait to
see what else the Lord has prepared!
I love you all so much and am so grateful for your support
and encouragement.
