Hey
fam!!! How are all of you this week? It always sounds like you are doing
AMAZING! And so are we here in Peru. We
have seen so many miracles and mini tender mercies along our path this week and
I can’t tell you everything because we don’t have too much time on the internet
today but I will tell you just a few.
This week we
have been activating a family of five.
When we started this change the husband of this family wouldn’t even let
us in the door but little by little as we have been praying and working with
the rest of the family. He has changed
COMPLETELY. The other night we were at their house talking about the temple and
the covenants that we need to make there in order to have an eternal family and
receive the blessing that come from that. And the dad said, "We know, we
have talked and prayed about it and we have set a goal to go in OCTOBER to the
temple to be sealed as a family!" This was unbelievable to hear for me
because just a few weeks ago he had just slammed the door in our face and told
us not to come back. Persistence and the power of prayer are the keys . . . and
smiling haha so that they will let us in! But this is truly a miracle that was
given to us by the hand of Heavenly Father!
Also the other
day we went to visit a family of members but little did we know that the
husband was not a member. As we talked about the plan of salvation we asked him
if he had heard this plan before and he said, "Yes. Millions.
The missionaries have taught me for 15 years but I still haven’t FELT my
answer." We continued to talk,
talking about his divine responsibility as a father and his son, who is 10
years old, turned to him and said, "I want an eternal family. Please help us." He looked him straight into the eye and
began to cry and after a long time of silence he said, "That is the first
time I have ever felt that in my life. Now,
I feel I am on the right path." We
all got down on our knees and HE offered the prayer. I had never heard a prayer with so much faith
and true intention in my life, hearing him thank his Heavenly Father for his
ANSWER after 15 years of waiting! UNREAL.
The holy spirit is amazing!
Sorry, I don’t
have too much time! I love you all and thank you for your prayers!
Love, Jess
