so this week was amazing!! actually a lot happened this week! haha let me tell ya!
About a week or 2 ago 2 missionaries left and we didn't get replacements so now theres only 6, and this week it got a little to me, and i really felt the pressure! but no matter! oh my gosh also, fun facts really fast actually scary facts for people like my mom, I BURNED MY HANDS THIS WEEK!! ok well we got sunburnt thursday and then i drive the car and the tips of my fingers got like second degree burns! on 3 fingers!! its so gross!! hahahah i tell people that snakes bit me or that theres bugs in my skin. or that im turning into a lizard. haha or last night we saw a SLOTH IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD!! funniest experience ever!! haha so anyways this morning i told people the sloth grabbed my fingers and made them all deformed.. i hope i dont have scars! moral of the story i need to take care of my body more. I'm going to the pharmacy today, but a really nice lady in the ward bought me some cream and i put it on at night. But man being sunburnt WIPED ME OUT!! i was exhausted from it!! hahaha
Anyways in more fun news! so I havent told you about this beautiful family that loves soeur winter and I :) its Reginale and Venante! So Reginale was of course a right before 9 oclock miracle when we were about to go home, but Soeur winter and I just kinda walked down the street and a scooter drove up and, we flagged it down and it was reginale!! he was stoked!! he gave us his number. We came over and taught him and hes got 3 kids! The first time we came the wife prayed and said 'I dont know why these girls are here but thank you' now she loves us! ever since! this week! or maybe it was last week and maybe i already shared this experience, but she was like 'ever since you've came, things have gone better in our house' and then they're just so perfect! the kids are stoked to be baptized we just have to work on the parents. Reginale was like 'were not ready!' so we said, 'ok what would help you feel ready?' and he said, well i should probably need to read this book and we said 'ok we invtie you to do that!' teaching through questions. its the best way.
anyways! they have a 3 month baby and one scooter, so the mom and daughter came to church for the first time yestserday and the dad and son 2 weeks ago. it was his birthday saturday and they offerred us chicken, but we were fasting. haha this family is amazing. venante the mom said, 'i just felt like we were really in the house of the Lord' at church. so ya. theyre amazing.
Richard!! he didnt come to church this week so we have to follow up with him this week. we taught him law of chastity and hes prayng about it. hes the best!!
Fernando and Samule!! we kinda backed off fernando because his parents werent really into it but we would still teach them like once a week and this week his DAD woke him up and said 'fernando! were going to church!!!' so they came! what a miracle! hes in a weird mood but not stoked about baptism right now; but SOON!! i know it!!
so our investigators are SO CLOSE and donig SO GOOD!! just praying for miracles and commitment and keeping teaching with boldness and LOVE!!!!
so ya. i wanna tell you about Elena now. She came uip to the elders and said 'i wanna know about you church!!' the elders lost her number but as they cleaned the apartment about 5 weeks ago they found it and invited her to church. she came to church and read the book of mormon super fast and yesterday was her baptism!! AMAZING! this church is true! i did not give that story justice but she LOVES all the missionaries. she brought us lunch at the church one day and wrote us all notes because she loves and admires us and yesterday we went to eat at her house after her confirmation and it was so tranquil. it was amazing. TRES it was like literally anthropology she had an orange kitchen and ^plants hangning all randomly and spices and shes a vegetarian and her kids are so cute. she had fish tanks!! anyways! it was a neat experience for me cuz missionaries had never been to her home ( they always taught her at the church) and i felt how she feels the spirit and has felt the spirit her whole life but we missionaries just litearlly filled ever corner of her house with the Spirit. We left her house with the Spirit. That is a neat thing I will never forget. Walking into homes and being able to feel the spirit(or lack of and need to bring it). Its crazy. I am very close to the spirit right now.
Well, that was pretty much my week! amazing! baptisms are coming for my friends im really excited :) love you all and see you pretty dang soon!
Love,
soeur tenney
Baptism of Elena
