Today we went to the temple! It was awesome! I learned so much and really felt the Lord teaching me! It has also been great to go to the temple right after General Conference! These last 2 weeks have been kind of jam packed with the Spirit! I really needed the temple too. We have been working hard and it was a nice little break from everything that we had going on. It was a chance just to relax and feel the Spirit a little bit!
This week we also saw a really great miracle! So a couple of months ago we were really close to baptizing a lady named Sandra. A lot of stuff happened and in the end she didn´t get baptized. She just seemed to give up after that. She started smoking again and it didn´t look like her "living partner" was willing to get married. She also started avoiding us a little and just wasn´t really trying to do the little things (go to church, read the scriptures or pray). We had decided to stop teaching her. We went by for the last time this week and we told her that if she didn´t start working towards the things God asks we could not pass by anymore. This Sunday we invited her to church, but I didn´t have much faith that she would come. She did end up coming and she also brought "living partner" and her little daughter! It was awesome! She just seemed to have a new light in her eyes and her partner seemed to enjoy church! She seems a lot more hopeful now that she will be able to overcome some challenges and get baptized and we are also feeling a lot more excited to see if we can really keep helping her come unto Christ!
Love y'all!
