I got to go on an exchange this week with Hermana Homer in Canyon Lakes! My very first ward in the mission. It was great and I had so many flashbacks! I got to see two of the families that reactivated while I served there a year ago.
M our most recent convert made us a Cuban feast! Platanos, meat, rice, beans, etc. it was so good! Her grandson M is excited to be baptized and is making a lot of changes so he can attend church and read the Book of Mormon!
We teach English class at an elementary school and this Friday was the graduation. The students were so excited! Many of the students had very impressive professions in their countries but now have been forced to do other jobs because they don't know English. It has been a very humbling and amazing experience for me to help them learn and in turn, be able to improve their lives.
Our investigators didn't show up to church today and we were pretty discouraged. We had tried our best to have members invite them as well as greet them at church to make their church experience a positive one. We were a little down the rest of the day. No one was opening the door, people were canceling appointments, not many people would talk to us while we were tracting, etc. We were driving down the street and I was praying for a miracle to lift our spirits. We saw a driveway full of cars with Mexico license plates. We decided to get out and knock. The family ended up being related to Mormons! They were very kind and invited us back for dinner.
God wants us to be happy and see miracles, but he can only give us those things if we have faith and act.
And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I
would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and
not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no
witness until after the trial of your faith.
-Ether 12:6
