Wow the transfer is over. It is crazy how fast time flies out here. I get to stay here in Dos Vientos with Sis X for 6 more weeks!! Which means that I will be with her over her Birthday which means that I GET TO GO TO THE TEMPLE!!!!!!! I am so excited!
Okay so the work here is picking up so much it is amazing! Brother Thayne, a less active we have been working with, received the priesthood yesterday which means that he is now ready to bapitze his daughter Jojo! We have been teaching them for the last 6 weeks and they are both ready now! We are so exceited to meet with them tonight and figure out a date and all the other details! This is a miracle because Bro Thayne is a pro tennis player and so he has to work most sundays. Not only that but he has been very nervous beucase he understands how important all of this is. We have been praying specifially for him and our prayers have been answered!!
There is a quote I say this week that said, "Faith makes things possible, not easy". Wow how true that is. As a missionary I see this closely everyday. But because of that faith I also know that the Lord knows what is best and what is needed. Through our faith we are able to do all things... No it is through faith in Christ we can do all things. We are nothing with out our heavenly Father and Christ. They have given us literally everything we have and are. They know all things and are able to do all things. So who is better to trust and have faith in? No one.
"IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO FAIL WHEN WE DO OUR BEST WHEN WE ARE ON THE LORD'S ERRAND." -Elder Ballard.
"BELIEVE AND ACT AS IF IT WERE IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL"
"THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO SUCCEED AT ANYTHING AND THAT IS TO GIVE EVERYTHING."
These are some of the quotes that President Castro sent to us. They are so ture and so amazing. I have learned this week how important it is to have a positive and loving mind set. To have goals and work everyday on those goals.
This week we, as a zone, set a goal of declaring to 20 people. This means that we have to share a restored truth and invite them to do something. Sis X and I knock on a lot of doors but not a lot of them answer and sometimes we are not bold enough to get both of those things done. So on tues. we decided that we were going to get 8 decs. We prayed that people would be put in our paths. We went out and worked HARD, talking to everyone we could. We saw miracles. By lunch we had met our Goal and so we decided that we were going to continue and see how many we could get.... we got 15 that day. not only that but we met a man named Stan.
So Stan lives in one of the houses that we knocked. We talked to him but he didn't seem very interested. So we left him with a Resto pamphlet. We headed to the neighborhood right next to his and about 15 minutes latere we are being flagged down by someone in a white jeep. It was him. He came and apologised for being what he thought was so rude. He explaned that he is a huge soccer player and his big game was on and so he was very distranced. He felt really bad and asked if he could have a card so that if he has any questions that he can call. So we gave him our number and low and behold about 2 or 3 hours later he called! And we set up a tiem to go back and see him. What a miracle! Sadly is YSA (young single adult) which 2 other missionaries are over, but they are able to go and teach him now!
"ONE MUST WANT THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHAT ONE WANTS."
I am doing so good. I am sad that I dont get to go to transfer meeting because now I dont get to see my Sister Snow. That was hard at first but I am so excited to see how the work continues to grow here!
I love you all and pray for you! I am so grateful that I get to serve a mission for my Heavnly Father and give him the one thing that he does not already have and that is my will.
Keep on keeping on!
Sister Kate Draney
