Helloooo everybody!!!!! I hope it's been a good week for you all!!!
It's been an eventful one here in Largo! I'm excited to share some highlights!!
-we got to have a lesson with our new friend, Carolina!! She was one of the miracles I talked about last week! She is so great and so ready for the gospel! We had the best lesson with her and we're excited to keep teaching her!!
-Monday night we had a feeling to go visit this lady we had run into a few weeks earlier. Her name is Maria and she is veryyyyy Catholic but we had the feeling to go, so of course we went!! She came outside when we knocked on her door and she was SO HAPPY to see us! What!! We talked to her for a long time and she is just the sweetest lady!
-on Tuesday we got a call from Magaly, Mia's mom saying she wanted to take us out for dinner so we got to eat with the WHOLE family. Mia's dad isn't a member and we've been trying for weeks to get in contact with the whole family to do something! We got to talk to him at dinner and he said he'd want to start talking more!! Miracle, no??
-we had ZONE CONFERENCE this past week and oh my it was amazing to say the least. It was the first all day zone conference that we've had since the beginning of Corona! We even got to have it with another zone too!! Every training that was given just solidified every reason I need to be here. I feel so grateful to be in this mission with the other missionaries that are here! Especially President and Sister Hollingsworth! THEY ARE THE CUTEST! We really have so many opportunities to make missionary work bigger and better than ever!!!! Don't be surprised if I talk about zone conference for WEEKS to come Haha!!
-alrightyyyyy we had another miracle happen with Patricia!! But first, I'll start from the beginning with Victor. Victor got the assignment from our branch President to help administer the sacrament every Sunday to PATRICIA with another member. Okay WHAT! We had the best lesson with Victor and Hermano James (his buddy he gets to administer the sacrament with) and man, HE IS SO GREAT. He was so excited! Now bringing it back to Patricia! She called us on Saturday and told us that she had told her parents about her baptism! She didn't tell them because she was nervous about how they would react and she had so much confidence that they would see the change in her and then ask. She got the call from Hermano James to figure out the sacrament and BOOM she decided then and there was the perfect chance to finally tell her parents...THEY WERE HAPPY FOR HER! Patricia was so surprised and started freaking out talking to us about it! Her sweet mom even asked to take the sacrament and see how our church does it. WOW RIGHT?? So yesterday, Victor and Hermano James administered the sacrament to Patricia! It was so fun to see 2 of our recent converts get to know each other!!! From what Hermano James told us, Victor did amazing blessing the sacrament for the first time! So so SO HAPPY FOR THEM!!!
-we met some new friends this week!! We are now teaching the CUTEST couple, Maximo and Rosalida and wow are they sweet. We taught them outside under their carport and they had read a little in the Book of Mormon and were SO EXCITED about Jesus coming to the Americas. We spent the majority of that lesson in 3rd Nephi and they LOVED IT! We read 2 or 3 verses with them and we started talking about them and Rosalida had gotten a bit quiet but about 30 seconds later, Rosalida interrupted our conversation with saying "OH! It gets better! Maximo keep reading the next few verses!!" Haha! We are so excited about them and feel VERY BLESSED to be able to teach them:) they made Ceviche and so we got to eat some GOOD FOOD with some of the sweetest people on the planet!!!!
-last but not least, we got a call this morning from President Hollingsworth and he asked both of us if we would be willing to TRAIN STARTING THIS WEEK!!! There is a surprise mid transfer transfer and he said he knew this sister that is coming in is supposed to be with us!!! She is from the online MTC and is orginally assigned out of the states! We get her on Thursday and we COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED!!!!!!!
This week was definitely one to remember. Something I want to share with you all today is this:
"The Savior provided the perfect example of how to live in an imperfect and unfair world. “We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). His love for us is immeasurable. He is our truest friend. He sweat “as it were great drops of blood” for you and also for me (Luke 22:44). He forgave the seemingly unforgivable. He loved the unlovable. He did what no mortal could do: He provided an Atonement to overcome the transgressions, pains, and sicknesses of all mankind."
How powerful is this!!!!! Wow. I read this during one of my personal studies and it really hit me. How many times do we feel like the unlovable, the unforgivable, the helpless. The Atonement covers ALL of that. We are divine children of a loving Heavenly Father and we have a Savior who gave everything so you and I could have everything. I know without a doubt that Christ loves each and every one of us. I am so grateful for my Savior and His patience. I am not perfect and sometimes I feel like I'm not worth it but oh wow am I wrong. None of us are worthless. We ARE the lovable, we ARE the forgivable, and we are not helpless!!
I hope you all have the best week and I hope you know that I love each of you so much and SO DOES YOUR FATHER IN HEAVEN!
Love you all:)
Love,
Hermana King :)
