hola hola hola! How's the whole kit'n'ka'boodle over in the little world of Middlefork and parts around there? Loved all of the updates and concern and love and prayers and strength and support that you give to me! Thank you so much for everything that you all do for me. I have been so blessed for all the family and friends that nourished my testimony and continually do all they can to ask Heavenly Father to help me. I KNOW HE'S DOING IT! I feel everyday, truly amazed, how I was able to do what I did throughout the day...and that I'm still alive when I wake up...and that I get to do it all over again! I know it's because all of your fasts and prayers and thoughts and encouragement...Heavenly Father really does hear and answer them. Even in the simplest, smallest ways; whether it's through one more person that let's us in their doors, or whether someone comes to church, or someone accepts to be baptized, or the opportunity to find someone prepared to hear the message of the restored gospel. All of these MIRACLES! help me realize that I am NOT alone in this. This is not my work, or the work of some human being here on this earth. It is definitely the work of God. It's not going to ever end.
This week, once again, was full of miracles and opportunities to work hard and feel like I'm being an instrument in the Lord's hands. We're still working on the wedding of Marcelo (the man that needs to get married then baptized) and we've found a lot of other people that are keeping their commitments, that desire a change in their lives and that are repenting...through thoughts, words, and actions.
Today for P-day we went to a waterfall with our zone and the neighboring zone...Santa de Itata...south of our sectors. It was so beautiful! We got to walk along the top of it as well as have lunch down below by it; Hna. Kemp and I bought a large watermelon (not knowing that we'd have to hike it in to where we were having lunch) that weighed a good hefty 38 pounds by the scale we've got in our house. Our investigator Juan Carlos (who keeps saying in English "my name is John Charlie") drove us in his vans.
Let's let the pics speak more about the week than I can.
I love you all with all of my heart, more than you'll ever know! I know that this gospel is true. I know that families can be together forever and that the Book of Mormon is true. It's truly interesting to see that when your testimony is challenged against the basic things that I've believed all of my life, how much it helps you realize what you really believe. Let's just say I had more than a few tender moments when I realized how precious and valuable my beliefs and testimony are.
