As you may have noticed... the skirts are coming back and the struggle is real. But hey that's okay because obedience is necessary to see some miracles!
Hermana Ruiz and I are still in that weird limbo where we are trying to get more familiar with our area. The church is true because of revelation. And revelation is definitely necessary in our planning. I feel like we are being stretched with our faith and trust in the Lord.
I'll explain... there are a couple of pueblos that are a bit far. Usually missionaries don't really focus on these places because it would be hard for investigators to go to church. But we felt a strong impression to visit one that's about 30 minutes away. We have no records of missionaries working there in the past. While we were there we didn't have much luck with our contacts until we saw an older woman taking a rest before a really steep hill. We asked to help her with her bags and off we went! We walked for about a good 40 minutes. I think those hills almost hit the heavens they were so steep. When we got to her house, we were able to meet her kids. They expressed the lack of God in their lives and we invited them to church and they came!
Then an older couple in our ward accompanied us in one of our charlas and turns out they are cousins that haven't seen each other since their childhood! This was super special to me because it reminded me of my cousin Ryan and his conversion. He is on a mission in Japan now. Love you Ryan!
Basically, we trusted in the Lord, acted and He blessed us with more investigators to teach. In the Book of Mormon in Alma 37:11-12 it talks about our need to trust in the Lord even when we don't understand everything because His ways are not like our ways. There are 3 specific reasons why we need to trust in God found in verse 12. I invite you guys to read it.
Best of all Esme got baptized which is a miracle in itself!
Love you all,
Hermana Herrera
