This week was so so good!! It flew by though.. oh man. I hope your Fourth of July was fun, ours was pretty fun actually. Big miracles to share!!
Thursday: today was pretty fun! This evening we went to YSA with Patrycja. Haha we were playing this game where we had to close our eyes, turn around a bunch of times and run to find our partner... haha and because I am me... I ran right into the piano.. I have a big bruise on my knee and everyone thought it was pretty funny, haha which it was!
Friday: we had a lesson with our friend Nadine! She is such a miracle! She has been investigating the church off and on and she messaged us a few days out of the blue, and said sisters I want to get baptized in two weeks. She said she knows it is true and she is finally ready to make the step. WOW!!! We were shocked and so excited! So Nadine is getting Baptized on July 14th!!! We are so happy for her.
Saturday: Today was a really special day. Alcina got her Patriarchal blessing today, and had us come with her. That was such a spiritual experience. She really enjoyed it... it was a bit hard for her to understand because of the language barrier. Probably one of my favorite experiences so far on my mission... then again all the experiences are great!
Sunday: Nadine came to church, and brought her cute daughter Penelope with her! She LOVED it. She was just like I can't wait to be baptized!
Monday: We had a lesson with Emilia, which was really good. She is such a smart girl. Yesterday she bore her testimony in sacrament meeting (3rd fast Sunday in a row) and she said that she want to get baptized because it is Jesus's church. She really is so ready to get baptized!
Tuesday: HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA! Today was a really good day. This morning we had a lesson with Nadine, which went really well. And later in the evening we had a lesson with Vinh's kids: Sophia and Leo. They are smarties. And this evening we had a BBQ with a small group of people. It was fun to be able to still kind of celebrate the Fourth of July.
This week was a miracle filled week. The entire time Sister Velez and I have been here it has been pretty hard to teach people, because they just don't seem to be interested. But we knew that God had a plan for us. We are so grateful we have this opportunity to teach Nadine and to help her come closer to her Savior.
I think what hit me this week was the fact that we all have Agency. Because God loves us, he has given us the ability to choose... to choose whether we follow him and his path, or whether we choose to follow our path. How amazing is it that before we came to Earth we had Agency, we then chose to come to earth, and we have the right to choose here on earth, and we will still have the right to choose after this life. I am amazed... May we all "choose the harder right, than the easier wrong". I love you all so much. Have a fabulous week. We got this.
Love,
Sister Lund
Happy Birthday, America!!
