Week 22

Haupei Yall!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: HUGE shoutout to the Activity Day Girls from Byrd Springs and Monte Sano! I was SO happy to get your card! I am so proud of yall for being a part of Activity Day Girls! I wish you all the best and send all my love!

Happy Things!

1. We had divisions! like 3! With awesome returned missionaries from the ward and the Hermana Lideres! I love our little family we have created here in Mariano. We also got together with the Hermana Lideres AGAIN for lunch today :)

2. That beautiful yellow dress is from my beautiful friend Johanna! She has completely reactivated and she is so strong she is working on reactivating her mom and wants us to teach her best friend! Member missionary to the max. We are so so proud of her! 

3. We had a super fun Noche De Hogar with Familia Pavon this week! We focused on the importance of reading the Book of Mormon everyday as family. It is so so important and really brings us closer together. So much so that Hermana Montaño and I read together every night! Each family, little or huge, needs the unity and strength that brings a daily study of the scriptures TOGETHER!

4. YALL Leis is getting baptized this weekend! AND even better! HER DAD IS GOING TO BAPTIZE HER! thats right. they are all active! and they are working so so hard to be getting to church earlier so that the girls can even go to Primary! Their situation is really hard, but they truly are getting back on their feet and we can see and feel their joy in their eyes and in their home. Big prayers for this family this week! 

Quick thought :)

Today, justamente, I was reading in Alma chapters 13 to 15. There is this really awful guy, Zeezrom, who what do you know is just bashing on the church and on these really awesome missionaries, Alma and Amulek. But the power of God is incredible and Zeezrom recognizes his mistakes and feels horrible. But even though he basically got a whole pueblo killed, Alma and Amulek rush to his side when Zeezrom asks them too, and Zeezrom it says was "healed according to his faith in Christ" and he turned around and went out to teach the gospel of Christ. I love this story. Too often we make the judgement about who is ready for Christ or who can make changes in their lives. We cannot hold people hostage to their pasts! We never know who a person can become if we never invite. So get out there and invite my friends! This world surely needs the light of Christ more than ever before. 

XOXOXO,

Hermana Vergara
