Missionary life haha is not easy, And each week presents its own challenges, but also each week I have the privilege of learning a new lesson!
Miracle: So the other day while we were proselytizing we met this very Very Tiny cute little old lady. She literally ran up to us and she gave us the biggest hug. My first impression was like woah this Hermana is def. a member. So we asked her and to both of our surprise she told us she wasn't, but she just wanted to read about the prophet Moroni. So without really asking she took the B.O.M from our hands and started flipping through the pages to find the book of Moroni. But long story short we set up an appointment and it looked like things were going go pretty great!
But, the next day we could not for the life of us find the short tiny lady. But instead we found this venezuelan family that lived in the same neighborhood. They seemed fairly interested in the message we set up an appointment, but did not really think much about it. BUT WOAH THEIR APPOINTMENT WAS AMAZING. We taught them lesson 1 and when we finished we asked them if they believed that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. When she started to reply she started tearing up and told us she thought that we were an answer to her prayers. Because when she had first come to Peru, she had a hard time finding her purpose because of how hard finding a job was. And she had been praying to God to find her purpose. And she told us that our message was an answer to her prayers. WOAHHH so amazing.
So on Thursday we were meeting with our pensionista for lunch and honestly I felt like crap that day so I wasn't able to eat anything. ( Pensionista or in other words a cook for the missionaries) Anyways yea she told me she had cream she used to rub on the stomachs of her kids when they felt sick.. So she brought the cream out and placed them on the table. And like wow thank you so much! Yeah, so I was walking out the door and she stopped me and told me to sit on the couch.And of course not understanding that much Spanish I did as she said. So when I sat down she told me to lay down and then told me to lift up my shirt. I lifted it up an inch okay that s it. BUT NO SHE LIFTED UP ALL OF MY SHIRT AND STARTED RUBBING MY STOMACH FOR A SOLID 10 MINUTES WITH THE cream AND I HAD NEVER FELT MORE UNCOMFORTABLE IN MY LIFE: but it's okay haha it was an act of love.
Well I hope you all have an AMAZING CHRISTMAS.
Love you all!!
