hello
hello my beautiful family!
this week was a good
week and also a crazy week!
so i just have to
say...guatemala is amazing! we have so many opportunities to share the
gospel!!! on wednesday we went to this school in the area of teh elders of our
ward (long story but lets just say we had to do a presentation for them bc they
werent there lol) it was just supposed to be about the states (like they ask
questions about the culture and we answer) but almost all of the questions were
about the church! the teacher that set it all up is a member! :) it was really
cool!! we went around the different classrooms and answered the questions they
had baout the church and everything! it was so great to be able to share our
testimonies of the gosple with them!!! it was also really cool to see how the
teacher was not afraid to share HER TESTIMONY!!!! (if only we could do that in
our schools lol)
ALSO!! on friday our
entire zone (18 missionaries) went to this school! (the owners of the school
are members also) and we watched "to this end was i born" with the
entire school!! we did it in 3 different sessions! (background: this week in
guatemala is semana santa! i dont really know what happens but its like easter
lol and they have their "spring break" right now) we introduced
ourselves before the video and passed out little papers that they could right
their information on so we can visit them!!!! I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY
HERE!!!!! it was also really great to see how these members shared the gospel!
they were not afraid to say that they are members and even less afraid to have us
come!!! :) it was a really really cool experience that we had!!!
also, we had to chance
to go to the general womens meeting on saturday!!! :) it was in spanish and i
could understand!!! :) so thats really cool! #gift of tongues!!! :) we have
such a great opportunity as members of the church to be able to listen to our
prophet! i hope that you all will make the time to watch at least one of the
sessions this weekend!!! I PROMISE YOU, YOU WILL RECEIVE THE BLESSINGS!!!!!!!!
i love the general conference!! :) but i also remeber when i was in the CCM
watching it and was like, "wow, at the next conference i will have 6
months...." welp..here we are!! how fast the time goes! i know that this
work is the work of the lord, and i have the chance to be apart of it!
president ruiz wrote me this today, (in spanish so i used google translate..)
"Elder Holland
said he has the feeling that the first apostles, prophets, priests and
kings-the missionaries of the antiquity "knew that they would not succeed
in his time, but could continue working because they knew that we make it. In
that sense they could sing and prophesy and take heart, not his age, but for
ours. "
He added: "This
is the generation in which the work will not fail. This is the dispensation to
receive the Son of God as the Lamb of God, and we will deliver to him the
Church of the Lamb. "
Follow with courage
Sister Canty, this work will not fail."
HOW TRUE THAT IS!!!!
:) this work will not fail! but it also needs our help!!! :) how blessed we are
to be members of the CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS!!!!!! i love
you all so much and hope that this week goes great for all of you!! thank you
for your love and support!!! :)
CON AMOR,
Hermana Canty
