Hola familia!
It's gonna be a short email today because we don't have much time. This week was full of DRIVING. We had to go all the way to Omaha for trainer trainee and then we had exchanges. It is always amazing to me how God seems to consecrate our times and efforts though.
A cool story about Jose and Annette. Hermana Iverson and I had met Jose a few weeks ago but nothing really came of it. He is the less active member we ran into in the trailer park last week and he invited us in to meet his wife Annette, who isn't a member. So Annette is from Minnesota, English is her first language but she knows a little Spanish. And Jose doesn't speak a word of English so not really sure how that works. We had a lesson with them again last week. Jose really opened up to us. He told us about the day we ran into him, he was just on a ladder fixing his roof, when a thought ran through his mind of me. He thought to himself, "La hermana? That's random." 2 seconds later, he turns around and there we were. Standing right behind him saying "Hola Jose!" He told us he knew that thought was a sign from God, and that he needed to come to church again. He told us he knew that his wife needs the gospel and the Book of Mormon in her life, because she is so so sick, and she needs the gospel to give her peace and fill her soul. Annette has kidney cancer and has to go to dialysis 3 times a week, and both of them have diabetes. They came to church for the second time this week, and they both got Priesthood blessings. The spirit was soooo strong. All of this was just a reminder and testimony to me that God knows us and loves us individually. He knows His children need His gospel. When you live the gospel, you can be happy despite the trials you are facing. What a beautiful promise.
Have a great week! Love ya!
