Hola! This is going to be short this week!
I had a wonderful interview with President Andersen this
past week and that same day WE GOT IPADS!!!! It's crazy that the First
Presidency truly trusts our mission to not only be on Facebook but to also have
iPads now! I'm excited to think of ways I can enhance the work with an iPad! We
used it last night to show a Bible video to our friend Mark (who is doing
amazing!) and the spirit was so strong as we watched the life of our Savior.
It's such a blessing to have iPads, we missionaries just need to be careful
that they don't become distractions!
This week it's really hit be how important it is that God
restored the authority or power to act in His name- the priesthood. Someone we
were teaching compared themselves to us- because he was sharing his testimony
with another guy- and it was amazing but at the same time I realized that there
is a difference between us and him talking about Christ. We have been set apart
at this time by the literal power and authority to preach His true gospel. I
need to be more true to that privilege and my calling at this time.
We had a huge storm last night so we've been snowed in
all day! It's super weird. I didn't even bothered getting dressed and have been
in my pjs all day!
Two funny stories that happened last night: we were
leaving a member's home with an investigator after having a lesson with them.
It was nighttime and I looked down at what I thought was a stick and was about
to kick it when I realized it was.... A deer leg! I immediately let out a
squeek and ran away! Then we were walking to our car and there was ANOTHER one
in the grass- hoof and all! Our investigator laughed as I danced around
freaking out. What the heck? Did a werewolf come through or something? Or the
chupacabra??
Another night we were at our investigator's house and
they have cockroaches sometimes. Most houses do here- cockroaches are a huge
problem here! They never usually bother me but this one night as we were
reading from the Book of Mormon I looked down and I saw one on my hand! I have
an insane fear of spiders so I immediately assumed it was a spider and jumped
up freaking out dancing around Jesus' living room screaming "¡araña!"
He just laughed his head off and I was so embarrassed when I realized it was a
cockroach. Then I felt bad because I never want people to feel bad for having
bug problems! Such is the life of a missionary!
I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and this time I
have to teach others of His restored gospel- a gospel based upon love.
Hope y'all have a good week!!!
Hermanita Knight!
