Hahaha! This week was tons of fun and miracles! Miami Christmas hits different. Let me just tell ya! The people go crazy with their lights and I LOVE IT!!! ❤️ I am missing the snow though! ❄️ We got to sing in the stake choir and they went all out for it! They had stage lights and decorations and even little costumes and Santa came! It was so much fun and brought a lot of miracles, which I will write in the miracle section of my email.
As for the title though... I'm going to
be famous in Bolivia!! We were sitting in sacrament meeting when these 2
ladies walked in in super fancy hot pink matching dresses! We went and
talked to them after, and they told us they were from Bolivia! It was a
mom and her daughter. They asked where we were from and when it got to
me, I expected the usual reaction of "la fábrica" saying I'm from the
factory of Utah. 😂 But instead they FREAKED OUT!! I was so confused
until they told me that one of "their Elders" that taught them was from Utah!! After that
they took TONS of pictures with me and said they were going to show them
to that Elder hahaha. They wanted to see if we knew each other. I think
Utah is a little bigger than they think... 😂 We taught relief society
and they filmed the ENTIRE lesson!!! It was an hour long!!!! When the
daughter's arm got tired, she handed the phone to her mom. And let me
just tell you, she got ALL the angles. After relief
society they took a whole photo shoot. It was pretty funny. They asked
us to share a message with them at their hotel this Wednesday and we
said we would. They kept bringing up Utah and how they wanted to visit
and told me I was always welcome in Bolivia because they were going to
show the pictures of me to everyone there. 😂 Later, we called their
Elders in Bolivia to see what they wanted us to teach because it was so
close to her baptism. They didn't know who they were at first... then
one of them said, "oh!! We have her contact! My old companion taught
her, but he got emergency transferred out because she declared her love
for him..." 😳 SO AWKWARD!!!! Little does she know, he won't be there
when she gets back... Anyways, that was the most interesting part of my
week. Hope you all enjoyed haha!
Miracles: One
of the people that we taught this week spoke some English and it was the
most freeing experience of my life to be able to teach again!!! I can
say my testimony and half a prayer in Spanish and that's about it, lol!
SO
COOL!! We were practicing for the choir and this lady walked in and
started crying as she listened! We talked to her and it turns out she
was driving past and something told her to walk in. She talked about how
she's been missing God so much in her life and the singing was exactly
what she needed and that it was a gift from God.
I
can testify that God knows exactly what we need, even when we don't.
It's NEVER too late to go to Him. He is there waiting with open arms. He
understands and He loves us. You've never gone too far. The spirit will
help you know what you need to do. Just like the spirit told her that
she should come in, the spirit will guide you to know what you need to
do! God is waiting, but we have to reach out to Him sometimes too!
I love you all!! ❤️❤️❤️
