Sickness and a mouse

This week we brought a member to a lesson with Angelica and it couldn’t have gone any better. She was having tons of problems with money. Because she had loaned out a bunch of her money in the form of credit and the people haven’t given her back the money and so she needs the money now to pay. And the person came to pick up her money and she didn’t have it, and so the guy was telling her that he’s going to start taking things away from her house and possibly her kids too, and so she was just in tears for about 30 minutes straight, explaining this problem to the member, an ex-missionary that served in this same mission about 3 years ago. So he was able to understand everything and comfort her that he can’t take away anything from the house legally, because the house isn’t hers, it’s her dads. So after realizing that, she then turned her tears into tears of joy, and he also told her that he is going to continue working with her and her family until they get the problem is fixed. But this experience really strengthen her trust in the church because of this support and help that the member was giving her.  So that helped me see the power of working with the members. 

February 13 was a very memorable day for me. It started with waking up sick again out of nowhere, turns out there’s another mouse in the house, and also that day I was trying to light the boiler to shower with warm water, and I got my faced blown up with gas and had my eyebrows and some hairs fried, and lastly I didn’t sleep from 10:30 until 2:30am that night because I had food poisoning and felt like throwing up.  However, let’s just say I suffered a wide variety of other issues but I am feeling now.  

Then today at Church, The Mission President and his wife came to our branch and got to see how tiny it is, and sadly no one could come to church this week, so we are really disappointed and not sure what more we can do for the people that we have been working a lot with, so it's time to find more new people, and give other people the opportunity to hear and accept the restored gospel.
