A sprained ankle and the widow's mite



I DEFINITELY want to share a room with KATE! I´ve been looking forward to that for 2 and a half years when I left for college! For sure with my SIS! Don't give me my own room! 


And thank you for that thought. Made me cry. I needed that. I sprained my ankle on Tuesday and I´ve been pretty out of commision this whole week. I feel like a kid in time out. EVERYONE telling me that I have to take it easy, I can´t walk, even the things that I feel I can do, no one lets me. I know it´s good bc I´m known for doing more than I should bc I think I can and want to, but it´s been frustrating. I´ve learned a lot this week about working with members BC I CAN`T STAND STAYING IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don´t know how to stop, so basically we´ve been marking with members to go out at night by car, do exchanges with the sisters of the ward for me to stay with one and my comp go out, do FHE, stay in one place and do a million contacts with everyone who passes by. We met almost all of our goals, but I became discouraged bc we didn´t complete all of them. But it was amazing bc on Saturday, I stayed the afternoon in a member's house while my comp got to go out to work with another member, so I sat reading the scriptures and my patrirchal blessing and all the whole day. While reading the New Testament, I read the story of the widow´s mite. While everyone was giving grand offerings, she gave two little coins that added up to 1/2 cent. But the Lord stopped to show His apostles the example that she was. She gave everything she had. It wasn´t much in the eyes of those who gave much, but it was what she had. And THAT was what the Lord wanted. I felt the Spirit so strongly confirmng to me that the Lord had accepted gratefully and happily my offering. This week, I wasn´t able to give what I normally give, but I gave my all and twisted myself into a pretzel trying to find creative ways to get our work done. 


CASAMENTO DO PEDRO E JENNIFER!!!!!!! Jaqueline and Bruno helped us (Jennifer is Jaqueline´s cousin, and we found them and started teaching and then found out that they were cousins-Jaque cried when we told her, and after that moment, they´ve helped make every thing possible!) The wedding was BEAUTIFUL!!! 


BAPTISM!!!! I cried it was amazing!!!!! Pedro was the most changed person that I´ve ever taught.  They are an amazing couple. They will lead the church in the future. I´ma amazed at their faith and love and sureness of the gospel!


Thank you for loving me. I feel your prayers. God told me at night this week (it was Thursday I think...)  that my mom loved me . He sends the messages! Telepathy-it´s real! It´s called the Holy Ghost!!!
