Heeeeellllllloooooo!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We had splits with Sisters Beck from Colorado and Román from Aerporte, Peru on New years eve and it was super fun celebrating with them! We went to our investigators apartment, Silvia, that day and read 3 Nephi 11 with her and invited her to imagine what she would have felt being in His presence in that situation. Then we said she can feel that same way through baptism and coming to church. We felt the Spirit testify that Jesus Christ lives and that He ministers to all of God´s children.
We had lunch with Irmã Vilma and Irmão David and they showed us a few ward videos that the youth did 15 years ago doing theater activities. It was so funny seeing how some of the members now look exactly the same!
At night, we watched the fireworks from our balcony and it was awesome! The whole sky was lite up with fireworks for 20 minutes. Yay New year!!
We got new pass-along cards and they are BEAUTIFUL! We were clapping at doors on Saturday and one lady answered. We gave her a card and she looked at the picture and said that she had never seen a picture of Christ like this one. All the images of Christ she has seen are of Him in pain or sorrow, but the one we shared with her is of Him in peace and with a smile. She was so amazed at this and she said we could return another day. Christ suffered for our sins, but He did so that we could have peace and joy in this life and for eternity. He is the Prince of Peace!
Only a few mosquito bites this week, they are returning (crying), but no other bugs. Only a dog that became our buddy for the afternoon. Zuko spirit. It rained almost every afternoon this week and Saturday we saw the storm coming and starting running to get to a members house for shelter. We didn't get there fast enough and got caught in the pouring rain. The streets were like rivers and my companion´s shoe got taken in the street river and she was chasing after it, oh it was so hilarious! We both laughed so hard that she almost lost her shoe.
Remember that Christ brings peace into our hearts when we let Him in. And He heals others through us a lot of the time, so look for those in need! D&C 19:23
love, Sister Giles
