Hola! This is going to be a quick one!
We had a strange week, I think the adversary is really
working on us, especially as we get really close to the end!
We had a really cool experience where we completely threw
our plans aside one day and decided to just follow the promptings from the
Spirit. We ended up downtime then we both felt like we should be in Vanderbilt
even though there are zero Hispanics there! Well we got off the buss at a
random stop in Vanderbilt and I felt like we just needed to walk up this hill,
turn, cross the street and wall back down on the other side. We had no idea why
but we did it and the second we crossed the street and started to walk back we
ran into one of our friends from the pantry who just walked out of a building
and were able to get to know her better and get her info! We walked away with
our minds blown! It is unreal how much the Spirit can guide you if you just
trust in Heavenly Father!
We had some really good lessons with Victor and Elvin!
Found out our friend Lorena who had a baptismal date really isn't interested anymore- bummer! But we met some new people who we are
excited to visit this week!
Saturday we had exchanges and Hermana Schmit went to a
baptism in McMinneville and I got to hang out with my bestie Hermana Knecht in
Madison! We just sat and talked in her apartment bc she was recovering from
food poisoning! It was so nice to have time to just talk, catch up and help one
another with our struggles.
Sunday was a miracle! Our investigator Elvin, who had a
bad experience at church last month, came back! And he brought a friend! And
towards the end of sacrament I looked back and almost fell out of my seat when
I saw Adriana, Sergio, Itahy and little Melody! It was awesome! We had 5 amazing investigators at church!
I was able to skype into a baptism for my friend Humberto
in Paducah!
It was so awesome to be a part of it and it was soooo
amazing seeing all of my loved ones there! My heart kept as I talked to the
Pastors, McCradys and Luis! I am so excited that Humberto had enough faith to
change jobs so he could start coming to church and get baptized! He is
incredible and he was just glowing after his baptism!
I had a beautiful dinner with the Donaldsons last night
and then we skyped our families! It was so rejuvenating to talk to the people I love- to see their faces and hear their voices! I was so
thrilled to see my sweet mom and wish her a happy Mother's Day! She is the best
mom ever and I could never have asked for a better woman to raise me and be
apart of my life forever! It was so fun seeing lil Gwen as she made lil baby
noises and watching Connor and Porter tumbling around on their couch! I love my
family and I am so grateful I got to talk to all of them and feel their love!!!
I feel like I have new energy for the next two months! I
feel so lucky to still have sometime to serve and learn from my calling and
those I teach and love!
We went downtown today and it was boring...
I love being a missionary!! The gospel changes lives!
Hermana Knight

She cracks me up, always up to something crazy.
