I hope Cathy is ok. I
am praying for her. (This is in
reference to her sister Catherine who may have to have her gall bladder out).
This week we had
intercambios with the Hermanas de Cojutepeque. Hna. Tumax, the previous Hna
leader, (she came home to our house), and Hna. Hernandez,(she came with me from
the CCM)(the Missionary Training Centre
in Guatemala?). It was so fun. We celebrated the birthday of Hna. Hernandz
by making baleadas, her favorite dish from Hondurus where she lives. They were
really good.
I love it when I
recognize the spirit in my life. We were visiting a less active sister who
lives a little far away. We were behind schedule too so I was thinking about
the people that we had to visit that lived abajo (down). But I got the impression that we needed to visit a family
that lives near her. I didn´t want to at first but then I thought, "where
did this thought come from?" and I realized that it came out of the blue
and that it wasn´t my personal thought but that the spirit was directing
me.
So after that I told Hna.Tumax
that we would visit one more family before we went to the other part of our
area. We arrived at the house and everything was normal so we entered and there
sat the mom and her son in law who we have passed in the street several
times. Hna. Evans and I. Hna.Tumax and I
sat down, sang a hymn, and then we shared a scripture. Then we asked the son- in- law if he was
baptized and he said no and so we invited him and he said yes he would prepare
himself for a baptismal date. Then when we left, Hna. Tumax said "Wow! I
always wanted to talk to him. He always passed by us before, but this time he
was in the house, and is the son- in- law of a member!"
It was pretty cool
that I could recognize the spirit telling us to go visit him.
We also got burritos
and they were super delicious.
I love you all!
