Its been another great week and I feel like my work here in the mission will just take a different turn as I study and apply the council of the apostles and the prophet we recieved in General Conference. Both Medium and Norma came to General Conference and absolutely loved it. It was actually Norma´s first time to actually come to church... no better way to start than with the Prophet!
I dont even know where to start...
Aquilina has still been in the hospital this past week off and on (and when I say off and on it is every day she goes back to the hospital... nothing is working to help her get better). She loves to be sung to so we went to the hospital to sing to her, but later found out that we cannot go in the hospital to visit or give blessings if we are not family. So we doing what we can right now to remind Laureano to read in the Book of Mormon and to just take care of Aquilina. They and we are really worried, but Hermano Miguel keeps in contact with them too. As for this week to help them progress, we are just praying a lot and will try and find a time to have a lesson with Laureano and Hermano Miguel...we just need to find a time that Laureano is not in the hospital.
Norma loved General Conference and also came to her first baptism the other day. All she had to say afterwards was, "That was so exciting!". She is slowly progressing, step by step and fully recognizes and admits when she doesnt come to church and hasnt read her scriptures, it is because Satan doesnt want her to do it. She really desires to change for her sons and as a Mom. This week we have a focus on helping her to get to know more members with the ward activitiy this friday.
Midium is doing great! She is good friends with Hna. Lopez now and she is still reading in her book of mormon and taking notes. We finally had our first lesson with her marido Christian and it was short adn sweet, but we were just able to bear testimony of our purpose and why we are here to help people change and be baptized. We are going back tonight to teach him the first lesson and with the help of Midium, he will want to be baptized also! He is a very happy person and a good dad.
I accidently deleted my email, so this one is short, but I lvoe you all and I love this Gospel. And we have a Father in Heaven. How great that is to say :)
te amo a todos,
su Hermana Jones
