Wow though what a week. The work continues to progress here in Queen Creek and there is no place I'd rather be. Our car keeps breaking down, my shoes have turned brown permanently (lol at dirt roads) and my lack of sleep and lack of desire to do my hair keeps growing!
The Lord in His many tender mercies has seen it fit to bless us abundantly in this area. It's a gold mine just waiting to get worked and worked and thankfully that's what Hermana Fuimaono and I are here to do.
Sadly a few of our really awesome investigators went out of town for a few weeks and I was really bummed about it...but then TECH MIRACLES! Our investigator, Ramiro, totally made my day yesterday when he created a group chat on Facebook called " Mis Dos Grandes Amigas" because he missed us so much! He has literally read every pamphlet we have given him and is always asking us for more. We are starting to run out!!! But it was amazing because through messenger he started bearing his testimony on tithing and fasting of all things! I am so excited as he continues to progress towards his baptismal date and am so grateful for the technology that has been put in our mission.
ALSO WE HAD 7 INVESTIGATORS AT CHURCH AGAIN. It was amazing. We also had 3 gangstas there so that was cool. It was fun seeing them try to figure out the whole church thing and the members faces when they walked in. Just goes to show you that the church is for everyone.
I love being a missionary. Sometimes it's hard but all of the time it's amazing . I have been so blessed in the areas I have been in, the people I've met and the missionaries I've served around. I know everything happens for a reason. I know that being on a mission is the best thing I could have done for my life. This time I have dedicated to serving God has changed me and I am eternally grateful for having been given the chance to do so. I love my Heavenly Father and I love Gilbert!
To the Moon and Back!
