¡Hola!
We had splits this week and I went into the Spanish area so I have been in a very Spanish mood lately! (If there was an emoji of a man with a mustache and a sombrero, it would go here.) 'Twas a fun split, Sister Coen taught me Spanish! Well, basically the only thing I can say is, "Here, this pamphlet is for you. Come to church. Can I have your phone number?" Haha, slightly more expressive- but that is the gist:) Splits shenanigans include: a fancy bakery with DELICIOUS cake, inviting the Hermana's investigator to be baptized (she said yes!), being allowed in to literally every house we went to (seriously, even the people who weren't interested! Such the hospitality!). I'd call it a success:)
A couple miracles from this week!
We have an investigator who the Spanish Elders referred to us a few months ago. We had lost contact for awhile because we thought she wasn't interested. But a few weeks ago she reached out to us because her daughter was in the hospital, and the Elders were able to go and give her a blessing. And ever since then we have been in contact again, able to serve her in a lot of ways (even helped her paint her kitchen:)). And just this last week we were able to find out that our Relief Society President's daughter, and our investigator's daughter actually go to the same school- and that our RS President and our investigator are friends through their daughters! SO, our RS President invited her to come to church and she came! She even asked us about baptism on Sunday! Seriously, service combined with friendship, the best way to love anyone into the Gospel:)
And Shawna. Shawna is a lady we met on the bus the other day. We sat down next to her and all I could think was how familiar she looked! I started talking to her and mentioned how I thought we had spoken to her before, and she remembered that we had! (She remembered 2 girls wearing skirts talking about Jesus Christ... shocker;)) Anyway, we were able to teach her about living prophets and invited her to come to General Conference (loved the sneak peek we got at Women's Conference:)) and she said she would love to! I know Heavenly Father put her in our path twice for a reason, because that doesn't happen here without divine intervention!:) His hand is in the work!
I love you all and I hope you have an AMAZING Conference weekend! Don't forget to bring your questions to Conference, I promise that they will always be answered!
Love, Sister Jones
Yay, I found it! ;)
