Set a baptismal date :)

January 7th, 2019

This week we had an awesome lesson with one of our investigators, Antonio. He is from Venezuela and we taught him about the gospel of Jesus Christ, faith, repentance, baptism, the holy ghost, and enduring to the end. We focused in Repentance and how great a gift it is that we have the opportunity to use it in this life thanks to the Atonement of Jesus Christ! It was so great and helped him a lot because he told us how he feels about stuff he has done in his past and really wants to change his life! We were able to give him a baptismal date for 26 of January! Woohoo!

I love you soooooo much!! Have a miracle filled week!!

Love always,

Hermana Roe, Lyssa

Christmas miracle!

Hello All! I hope you all had a great Christmas! I am doing good! I had a good Christmas with my companion before she ended her mission and I sent her home. I want to tell you about the experience I had for Christmas. We went with the elders to one of their converts houses and they had told us that they were going to cook and have Christmas dinner there but it ended up that the family hadn't even arrived and weren't ready so we waited for like an hour. Then we had to leave cause we had to get back to our rooms by 9 and they lived like 20 mins in the mountain... so we ended up calling our President and asking if we could buy chicken. We ended up buying pollo a la brasa (it's like chicken that is cooked over coals I think) soooooo good) and then we left to our rooms. I was feeling a little bit down cause I wasn't really feeling the spirit of Christmas and then the Lord gave me an opportunity to feel it. We were walking to our apartment and there was a lady outside picking through the trash. We said good night and Merry Christmas to her, but when we passed I felt like we just said it in vane. So we went up to our room and had to take out our trash. I told my comp that I wanted to give the lady my chicken and fries. We went down and I walked up to the lady and gave her the food, helped her with her bags and wished her a Merry Christmas. This was my Christmas miracle because in that moment and the rest of the night, my void was filled and I wasn't hungry. I know that God always makes a way for us to be His hands and to feel His love when we need it! 

I love you all so much!! Have the happiest of New Years! Set goals and stick to them!! You can do it!!

Alssoooo Christmas here is like the 4th of July! They shoot off a bunch of fireworks, everyone from their streets at 12am! It was such a cool experience! And I hear that they do the same for New Years so we will see tonight! haha 

Oh yeah I also wanted to share a quote that I found in my personal study about the holy ghost:

¨We need the Holy spirit as our guide in calm waters so his voice will be unmistakable to us in the fiercest storm.¨ - Elder Larry Y. Wilson

 

Something to think of, love you all!
