Hola everyone! How are
you all doing? Ah it is so good to hear from you each week. I love you all so
very much. Can you believe that Octubre is half way over?! So crazy. This week
was so much better than last week. The work is going well for my companion and
I. We are working so hard and be as obedient as ever haha. We were blessed with
finding so many new people to teach this week. And guess how we found them?
Haha we talked to and contacted so many people on the street. It was great
times. And my companion´s spanish is improving so much and I´m so proud of her.
I am sad to think that I will most likely only have 6 more weeks here in San
Sebastian with her. I love the people here so much! I know that as we continue
to demonstrate our faith that the Lord will bless us and we will see many
miracles.
There is one miracle
story that I want to share with you all. The other day we had about 1 and half
of time where we didn´t have a cita or anything so we decided we were just
going to go find someone on the street to teach. We walked over to a park and
we spotted these to latino ladies sitting on a bench, so of course we went to
go talk with them. We just went up and introduced our selves and started to get
to know them and then we asked them if we could sit down and share a message
with them and they actually said yes haha! We whipped out the libro de mormon
and explained a little bit about it and shared a scripture with them. I can´t
remember all that we said but I know the spirit was strong. After we finished
with a prayer one of the women, Gloria, told us that it was inspired that we
came. She told us that she had been searching for something spiritual in her
life. I know that the Lord puts prepared people in our path who are ready to
hear and accept the gosple. I am so excited to continue teaching these two
wonderful women!
Hmm I am trying to
think of what else to tell you... Oh! I know! This Sunday the Paces came up to
San Sebastian for church. And it was so great to have them here with us. And
all week Hermana Reid and I have been working so hard to get our investigators to
come to church. So Sunday morning we picked up a less active woman named
Milagros and then we quickly dropped her off at the church and said hola to the
Paces and then ran to pick up our investigator Samuel (18 yr old from
Columbia). Haha and we barely made it to church on time! And then to make
things better just after the hymn started our dear investigators Angelica and
Onome walked in. It was a miracle. And it was a wonderful meeting for them to
come to because it was fast and testimony meeting! After church we had a ward
cousel meeting with the Paces and the stake president to discuss the need for a
new chapel. We are so packed in our little building. The talked about the
option of splitting the ward into two branches or just having 2 sacrament
meetings instead of one. I´m not sure what they will do but I hope they do
something so we will have room for everyone!
Well that´s about it
for this week! I hope I have not bored you haha. I know the gospel of Jesus
Christ is true. And that it blesses our lives! I am so grateful to be a
missionary. I love this work and I love my Savior. I hope you all have a
wonderful week! I want you to know that I love you and I think and pray for you
often. Un besaso!
xoxo,
Hermana Benson
