Well, OK I'm not psychic, BUT the Holy Spirit is revealing the future to me, Ha ha. I was like telling Hermana Szerdi (old comp)" it would be so funny if we were comps for the last part of my mission! You'd kill me! Ha ha" Three days later..... president calls at 6;40 AM. "Hermana Tangedal... I have some news for you. Hermana Szerdi's companion got reaaaaallly sick and had to go home. I need you guys to be in a trio for the next three weeks and work in Santa Anita and San Carlos."
....cricket cricket...
"....ok president......"
Annnnndd, so now, we are back to San Carlos and Santa Anita!!! But it was really cool. That night before president called, I prayed to the Lord that He could help me love Him more than anything. Then, that call happened, and so many more things. Like He is truly helping me sooooo much!!! I have a gnarly cold that everyone has right now, but Heavenly Father is helping me have more patience with myself. I was a little bummed about the news because we have been finding a lot of people in Santa Anita, but it's OK. Now that I have done it one before, I know how to do it efficiently now :) Annndddd I think that He is like letting the sector grow, and then, cutting it back, and then it grow more, and then He cuts it back again. MAN. This next cambio when Hna Relmuan and her new companion are there, there is going to be a LOT of success!!! This sector is growing like a bush that gets cut back to let grow fruits! :) im happy about it!
Douglas. His fecha fell because he hasnt got married yet,m but he is working on it. His wife doesnt want to get married because now she thinks he just wants to get married because he wants to get baptized. but its not true. now he understands the law of chastity and wants to keep the commandments! :D He is the best. really. he always says how gratefuyl he is that we found him, he told us that he has felt peace now, before.... he had plans to take his life because he didnt know how to get out of all the problems that hes in. but man. wow. i dont care how many baptisms i get. as long as i can help at least one person come to the gospel...that is enough. :) everytime that i think about his situation, and how we found him and how happy he is now and how he has totally changed... i just feel so happy that i start to tear up. :) I am happy.
That Gospel is true.
This week was all over the place! Tuesday, we had divisions. Wednesday, we had to go to the terminal to pick up a sister. Thursday, we had our new cambios and are in trio now. Friday, we had divisions. Saturday...I don't even know. Sunday... 6 hours of church and me super sick, that I was falling asleep in the ... well in my defense...the 6th hour of church. Ha ha ha oh yeah.---- I contacted some Cuban guy that that was a mistake, but at least I get compliments. Ha ha ha, he sends messages telling me that my eyes are beautiful. Ha ha, and inviting us to parties. We have to explain to him that we are missionaries...... -_- ha ha ha, but what's new right?
Small world. My friend who is serving in Guayaquil, is companions with my other friend's brother. My friend who is serving in CO springs is in the same district with an elder from my MTC district. So cray, and to top it off, I met my twin. Hermana Ettinger. Ha ha ha, we are the SAME PERSON.
I know that the Lord is helping me love Him more than anything. That's all I want, because if we love God more than anything, we will love everyone else :) Really cool story.- I wrote a letter to a member back in October... but the sisters didn't give the member the card . I was in there house in January and I was like, what the heck! So, I gave it to someone else to give it to her. She just e*mailed me and told me that she was so surprised. Her husband just had a gnarly surgery and she has been passing through some HARD trials... and in the middle of all this when she didn't know how she was going to keep going forward.... MY CARD GOT TO HER!!! Three months late.... but at the perfect time... and the card was all about finding the strength to move forward. Just in time.
Wow, she was so grateful. She said that if it weren't for my card... she would have just stopped right there. It made me cry out of happiness. I know that the Lord knows exactly what He is doing :)
I know the Gospel, the Church... is true. It really is. I am so happy to be a part of it and I want to love God more than anything, so I can just talk to anyone and not fear anything. Just invite everyone to come. I am the happiest that I have ever been...and it is because of this gospel. :) I love life. I love Heavenly Father.
Love,
Hermana Leah Tangedal
keep on moving forward!!!
