It´s been another good week! I don´t have much time but I´d
like to share the highlight of the week.
On Saturday morning I was looking through the area book
trying to find an old investigator that a member had talked about when I came
across the record of a women named Francinete. It said that this women had come
running after the missionaries one day to talk to them. So I called her to see
if we could visit her but no one answered. Later that day all of our
appointments had fallen through. We didn´t know what to do but they the phone
rang and it was Francinete asking if someone called. I told her that we are the
missionaries and before I said anything she asked ´´Can you come visit us
now?´´. And I told her that we were on the other side of the city so it would
take a little bit but didn´t want them to wait, so she sent her husband to pick
us up. When he pulled up he was just driving the cab of a semi truck hahaha. We
climbed the ladder to get in and met him.
Anyway, Francinete told us that she´s been wanting to be baptized for 20
years but she can´t because she isn´t able to get a divorce from her
ex-husband, therefore she can´t get legally married to her current husband. She
said that after all this time she got discouraged and gave up, but the fact that we showed up testified to
her that God still loves her and that she needs to come back. This lady
straight up loves the Church more than any member in this ward. She is so
incredible. And her husband also loves the Church and really wants to be
baptized. I had always heard cool
stories with the area book and thought I would never have one haha. But this
Thursday we are going to take the Relief Society President and the first counselor to have a Family Home Evening
and try to get this divorce thing figured out as well.
Sorry for the short letter but I love you all! Have a great
week! Transfer calls will be coming in this week so we will see what happens.
