WOW what a
week!! God has been soooooo good to us! This has been such a good
transfer. Not gonna lie.. the hardest.. but Ive learned sooooo much. How
sad would it be if we lived our lives without any challenges??!
Wednesday I got suuper sick. My stomach has been
hurting me for a while but Ive just kept trying to ignore it.. but Wednesday came around and I couldnt get out of my bed. :( I spent the
whole day throwing up. haha. But ya know its all good. I feel like it
needed to happen cause I was forced to lie down and had some time to just
breathe. BABY V is the cutest, sweetest daughter. She took
care of me and told jokes the whole day.HAHA! Little Columbian Comedian she is!
BUT NO SE PREOCUPEN MIS AMIGOS cause Saturday was a
beautiful day. ERICA GOT BAPTIZED.(insert angelic choirs singing right here) That little girl has the strongest
spirit. But before everything I want to tell you guys something.
ON Friday we were walking around alllllll over tarnation.. trying
to find escogidos.. but didnt have ANY luck. We just dont stop. Looking
for people that are already prepared is super hard. We invite like 5
people to be baptized in a day but none of them are really escogidos. So
ya.Anyways out of nowhere I belted out.. HERMANA VARGAS why arent we
having any success?? President Ayre called me the night before and
changed us to Juncal for a reason... but FOR WHAT? Haha I was just
feeling soo mad. And then the angel Hermana Vargas.. stopped me and put
her hands on my shoulders and told me, Hermana... Dios already had this
planned . Dios already knew that we were gonna find
his daughter Erica and bring her unto him. God needed two girls who were
humble enough to go through these trials to eventually find a little 13
year old girl who doesnt know who she is. And you know what? WE found
Erica we told her we loved her, we told her she has a heavenly father
that adores her. We told her even if she couldnt feel the love of
her father here on this earth, she has a father in heaven who adores
her. And thats WHY we found her. Cause God wanted Erica to know that he
has been listening to her prayers. And now her prayers are answered.
. Hermana Vargas is such an incredible example to me. Her faith
in God has definatly helped me trust more in God also. I know now that
everything happened for a reason.
And Saturday she made coventants with the father who knows us and loves us best.. our
Heavenly Father. Our padre celestial.
When we came to her house we had planned for her mom
and her brother to come. But her mom straight out told us she didnt
want to come. It literally felt like somebody had punched me in the
heart. Erica was trying so hard to hold back the tears. I said a quick
prayer asking heavenly father to please help Erica have a good baptism..
without her family:(
And then an image came to my head. It was so vivid. I could see my
mom doing my hair for me for my baptism and then putting my little sparkly headpiece
on top of my head. I just felt so grateful for the amazing life I had.
For a mommy that understood what I was going to do that beautiful
baptism day and she made it so special for me. So when Erica came out in
her white dress I asked her if I could do her hair. It was my way of doting on her and trying to make her day as special as mine.
Oh my family.. the love I felt for this sweet little girl as I was
brushing her hair.. words cannot describe. Me and Hermana Vargas did
everything we could to help her feel special and loved that day. When
she came out of the water she put both her hands over her face and
started to cry.She told us she felt something strong in her chest and
felt the need to cry. We explained that what she was feeling was the
spirit! And that Heavenly Father was happy for her decision.
Ahh. Erica is someone so special. Shes gotta great personality. IN a
way shes a lot like Hermana Vargas and I.:) NOW its time for the ward
to take her in their arms and take care of her. :) Please pray for her to continue and grow in this ward, and that she will have the inner strength to continue to come to church.
I testify with all of my heart that the success on the
mission isnt the numbers.. but its the pure love of Christ we feel for
others. God is pleased with his missionaries. We have another transfer
here in Juncal and I know there are plenty of other miracles that God
has in store for us. I know God hears and answers every one of our
prayers. Never stop praying. NEVER!!
:)
Im sooo happy. I love Juncal. I love
the portenos. I love the big streets. I love the people. I love the rude people and I love the nice people.. so many
different kinds of people.. but i love em all. I love the Jews cuz we have this strange energy between us ;) (YA WE
GAVE A BOOK OF MORMON TO A JEW. SUCCESS) I love the peruvians (90
percent of BUENOS AIRES. JAJAJA) I love my amazing daughter Hermana
Maricarmen Vargas. I love myself. I love Erica. I love God. :)
THATS ALL FOR NOW!!! :)
Hermana Terryblemente GRATEFUL!!! CARRY ON CARRY ON CARRY ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
