This week was amazing! At the beginning I was feeling a little like the Seed from Micheal McClane´s musical The Garden. Waiting for my opportunity to grow. Thinking that I wasn´t progressing. Then I read a talk in the Liahona for July. It talks about Joseph Smith but helped me realized that we don´t need to be perfect to be powerful instruments in the hands of God.
We worked really hard this week to have a lot of people go to church. The members and the investigators are all dedicated to the church. I have seen so many powerful testimonies here.
The open house was perfect. We almost couldn´t go because all of the spots were filled on the bus. But that morning a few were not able to go. It was a long bus drive to DF but I love traveling with all of my heart. At the temple I was able to see 2 missionaries from my zone in the CCM.
I had a very powerful experience in the temple. We went with our investigator Viridiana who was baptized this past Sunday. To be in the temple and feel the spirit was an experience that strengthened my testimony. As we entered the instruction room, I remembered my first time in the temple. I was going through the motions very confused but suddenly I felt that Grandma Beth was with me. In this same room here in Mexico I felt her again! As we got closer to the Celestial room I noticed that the guide in front of the door was my teacher from the CCM, Hermana Vergara! I started to cry! I can only imagine how it will feel to be reunited with our loved ones after this life but seeing her again was practically the same!
As we left the temple we asked Viridiana how she is feeling about her up coming baptism and she told us that she was even more excited. Her prayer at the end of her baptism service was a testimony of how she has always felt the spirit and the love of God but that day she felt it more. She has the strongest testimony.
This is the work of the Lord and I am so Grateful to be a part of it!
(Note from Mom: She forgot to sign her email, but just imagine her saying, "I love you Mom, you are the best mom in the whole world, I hope I can be like you someday" Of course I'm kidding, A girl can dream though, right?! )
