Over the river and through the banana trees, to Bananal we gooooo!
We've hardly been in our area this week... we've traveled to Yuto,
Bananal, and Oran this week. All to help out our Elders....
Literally we took a bus for two hours to get to Yuto.. We worked a
little bit there and then my comp and I with some members went with
the elders in a other bus and they dropped us off on the side of the
road and we literally started walking through banana trees, and had to
cross a river to get to the other town... bananal. which im in love
with. hahaha We found a lady that a first didnt want anything to do
with us, but then the girl that was with us, started to cry and give
her testimony, and then this lady started to cry and told us that her
mom had passed away last night.. and she was praying for someone to
come. I love how God hears every pray, every plea. Hes always
listening and when we let him, he sends help. It was a blessing to be
able to testify to this lady that she will see her mom again. We were
a little room shoved together, we were dying of heat, and a puppy was
trying to climb into my skirt... and yet, the spirit doesnt need alot
of room, or the perfect situation to testify. love it!
we also saw where the elders are having the church in Bananal. Its a
little wooden house without light or nothing... and yet this sunday
after our efforts to help them, they had 25 people in the church.
Before it was 6. I love progress!!!
We here in Ledesma had 6 investigadores in the church!!! I cant even
explain the miracles we saw this week.
Claudia was baptized. In the midst of a storm and earthquake... she
got baptized. Her nephew baptized her... and she got out of the water
just crying her heart out happy. She even gave her testimony. Shes a
miracle.. this is what happens when members bring their families and
their friends to church. Miracles!
ANd well so many crazy stuff that was just awesome happened this week,
but seeing as im having mas and mas of a hard time writing in
english.. sorry. hahaha
but we had our sacrament mtg planned in our other little town... and
well it got canceled. but the work goes on!! and well we weren't sure
if we wanted to travel there if we weren't going to have the mtg...
but we felt like we needed to. and im not going to lie... i was
wondering why we were there... like seriously.. because im not even
joking, EVERYONE was rejecting us... and it was like oh geez... we
traveled half an hour... but for what?! So we said a pray... and
BAM!!! Jairo fell from the sky!!! or from his motor...but its the
same thing.. hahah we found this guy who has like 27 years I think...
well... his dad was the last president of the branch before it
closed... and hes went since hes a child... and NEVER WAS BAPTIZED!!!
and he just told us, hey, i want to be baptized... shutting our jaws
we just nodded our heads.. yeah.. he needs to get married, but he'll
get married next month... I dont know if ill be here for his
baptism... but I cant deny that God really is awesome. he guides us so
much!! Jairo was the reason we went to this town...
Oh and pray for Marcelo.. hes going to get baptized this saturday...
if he drop his coca.... hes awesome.. also another dry member...
waiting for his baptism...
I LOVE LEDESMA JUJUY!!! And also I love you guys.. and llamas.. and of
course God... I love that God knows each and every one of us, and he
guides us to where we need to be. sometimes we doubt that, sometimes
we think that its of our own decisions that guide us, but do you
really not see his hand in your life? Guiding you to where he needs
you to be. I know that he loves us. And just like our new friend
Matias that arrived at church crying and wanting to change his life
and thanking God for guiding him there, I know that God loves you and
he's here. Let him steer your life for a bit... its alot better.
This week was the bomb.. everyone was crying... and i dont know if
thats good or bad.. but my comp and I are so excited... its raining
investigators, mangos, and baptisms here in Jujuy!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
