Hola familia!
Wow lots of ups and down moments for y'all this week! I'll be keeping you all in my prayers! Continue finding in faith and all will be ok :) I'm sure you already are... I love hearing of all the wonderful things y'all are doing. My family is daa BEST! Haha Love you all :) Keep your head up!
Hmm so this week I don't recall too many specific stories I have... but it was a wonderful week! The Elders came to give one of our investigators a blessing, and they really appreciated that. It was AWESOME! What a blessing it is to have the priesthood so near to us in our lives. It is SOO powerful! It was amazing the spirit it brought into the home of this investigator. Immediately after her blessing she wanted her husband to receive one as well. The spirit was SOO strong. Then after that we had the best lesson ever because of that! :) It's really amazing how much the gospel blesses families. I have surely gained a testimony of that being on the mission. This family already seems to be so much happier just by listening to our message. Every time we come they are just so excited to learn more! We just need to get them coming to church. That has been rough... but today I think we found the real reason of what's holding them back. They have a mentally slower child that's 26 and for some reason will not let them bring the kids to church. The problem is that she is not willing to baby sit them either, so then the parents can't ever come. We told them we wanted to talk with her our next lesson, so hopefully we can say something to help. They're set for the 19th of October so they have to come these next 3 weeks! I really think they can do it, they seem to be getting more and more excited every time... so if they really want it they're going to work for it!
IT'S A MIRACLE!!! GABRIEL came to church! In the pictures I sent home this is the cute little old guy. He is HILARIOUS! I love him! Anyway, he's a less active that we have been teaching since I got here and Hermana Wallis had even been working on them before that. He is so stinkin STUBBORN! Ha but he's so knowledgable, so once things click with him again he'll be the strongest member ever. Well, that's just what is happening! He came to church yesterday!! It was the best thing ever to see him walk in those doors! We had a lesson with him last night and he was talking about how he can feel the spirit as soon as he walks in the church doors. He was basically bearing testimony to us instead of us bearing testimony to him! Within no time he'll be reactivated :) He already committed to coming next week as well. And I think he's even going to stay for all 3 hours!! I really have such a strong desire to help the less actives.. our ward mission leader doesn't focus too much on them, but I sure feel like they are just as important as our investigators. It has been a blessing to watch the growth of them. :) He's going to the temple in a year!! That's our goal we've set for them at least, and I know it'll happen He even admitted his biggest problem. He needs to be humbled. He's so funny. He's COMIN BACK!
Well, those were the most exciting things that happened this week... but of course we had plenty of other great things! We have so many people that are SO close. The work in Woodbridge is just going to explode anytime now! Se que esta iglesia es verdadera. Estoy bien agradecida por esta oppounidad a estar aqui en Virginia. El Senor sabia que necesitaba venir aqui porque en verdad he aprendido bastante lecciones. El senor vive. El es nuestra salvador y redentor. A traves el podemos ser limpiados y disfrutaremos las bendiciones de la vida eterna. Les amo mucho. Gracias por sus ejemplos a mi. Estoy bien bendicido a ser nacido de buenas padres. Les prometo que si ustedes sigan en fe, recibiremos las muchas bendiciones. Tenga buena Semana! Con amor, -Hermana Wright
Kim can practice her spanish ;) Haha love you! Have a wonderful week! :) And I found a happy little scripture that made me think of Grandma and Grandpa this week. Alma 46: 39, 41. What a blessing it is to have this knowledge that can bring us so much joy. The gospel brings us joy, and I know that to be true with all my heart! Love you all and have a fantastic week!
