Guess What Tomorrow Brings...

Hey!

How are you all doing?!? I am really sorry but I don´t really have a
lot of time this week to write to you all because we had to go to
Capital to renew our visas and our documents for being here... Can you
believe that I got here 1 year ago tomorrow!!!!! Time goes by soooo
quickly! I renewed my paperwork today so I can stay here until January
2013... ¿Esta bien no? :)

I remembered a story this week that I forgot to tell you. The other
week we were walking down the road and we had to stop to talk about
where we were going to go next so my companion and I were talking with
the member that we were with and then I noticed that there was a
police officer stopped on the side of the road and he was motioning to
us to go over and talk to him. This really isn´t anything that is
abnormal so I went over to talk to the man and the woman cop that were
in the car. Ha ha when I got over there he asked me, "Hey are you the
chica that talked to us the other day on the side of the road?" (There
had been a bunch of cops on the side of the road a few days earlier
that I had given invitations to go to church on Sunday as we had
walked by). I replied that indeed I was the very same and he asked me,
"so what is this church about?". Then the lady that was sitting next
to him chimed in, "hey I´m a member of this church! My brother is the
stake president!" I was shocked. So we then had a nice discussion and
she shared her testimony about the church although she is inactive. I
then left a pamphlet with the officer to read and we headed on our
way. This really left me with a testimony that God works in very
mysterious ways because I have been praying for more opportunities to
have lessons with members of the church to help our investigators
progress. I didn´t think that I would find a member and an
investigator ready to talk about the church in a police car on the
side of the road but that is exactly what happend! I guess we need to
remember that we never need to be afraid to open our mouths!!! it
reminds me of the scripture in Romans 8:16. If we are willing and
ready, there are always people prepared to hear our message!

Also THANKS FOR YOUR PACKAGES!!!! I got the packages from Mom and Dad,
Beth, and Kyle and Carolyn! I love them all so much and it was such a
treat! Mom and Dad I do have to confess that I gave half of the
package to my comp because she didn´t get a package from her parents
and was pretty bummed so I told her that in fact you had sent this for
her as a Christmas present. So in photos etc if you see that one of
the skirts she is wearing was one you sent to me don´t feel bad ok!!!
I felt a super extra hug from home this week and it was deeply
appreciated. Like I said the Lord works in mysterious ways and ALWAYS
answers our prayers!

Hey has anything happened with my mission plaque for the wall? I want
to use the scripture in Alma 26: 12, 16, 36-37.

Did you email Hna Tucker´s family about housing? We need to get going on that!

Well I have to go! I think about you often, I pray for you always, and
I love you forever!
