MISSION, WEEK 9

Cold is Gone......

What was that about your leg?

So one thing I have realized is that the mission brings about many great experiences. And with that, a lot of very humorous ones as well.

The other day we had some missionaries from a different church knock on our door. They don´t prepare you for situations like that in the MTC! haha. I made Hermana Lopez talk to them because one, I dont know spanish, and two, because I can´t ever say no. Knowing me, I probably would have agreed to attend some church meeting just because I would have felt bad to say no!!! haha. 

I am finally over my cold, thank goodness. But yesterday clumsy me tripped down a flight of stairs and banged up my leg pretty dang good! It is a pretty nice battle wound. Satan hates me. haha. 

There are SO many stray dogs here. It might be safe to say there are more dogs than people. We were trying to contact a less active member at one of the really scary areas, and all of the sudden this dog comes out of nowhere and starts growling and chasing us. Needless to say we ended up not contacting that person. Maybe in the future!

We had family home evening as a ward, and it was amazing. I am so blessed to be part of such an amazing ward, who loves me even when I can only comunicate a little with them. They are so loving!

I have such a strong testimony of the power of prayer. This week we met with a woman who was very depressed. For those of you who dont know, I want to go into social work, and so talking to these people and helping these people is what I love. I really wanted to help her. I could understand her, I just couldnt find the words I wanted to say to help her. I said a little prayer in my heart and asked Heavenly Father to help me reach out to her. In that moment, I started to speak, and she stopped me to tell me that she understands english. She cant speak it, but she understands all of it. So she asked if I would talk to her in English. What are the chances? The Lord really blessed me, and I was able to help her, and help her know that she has a loving Father in Heaven, who was aware of her, and a Savior, who knows exactly what she is going through. It was a powerful moment, and I know that prayer works, and it is SO powerful.

I am grateful for this opportunity. The church is true!!!

Love, Hermana Watt
