HELLO
FAMILIA CANTY!!!!!! :)))))
how are you all
doing!? great i hope!!! you all sound great in your emails! thank you for the
birthday wishes..even though im not quite 20 yet, i still feel like a child!!!
:)
anywho! my week was
GREAT!!!!! :) it started with a great surprise tuesday!!! normally on the
tuesday before changes during out district meetings we find out who has
changes! well presidente didnt have them ready so they didnt tell us! and we
didnt find out until 7:45 that night!!! well hna mendoza had changes!! she is
in Reu now! i seriously love that girl!!!!! she is so amazing!!!!
but we also received
some other news!!!! IM A MOM!!!!! yep thats right! i am training a new
missionary!!!! her name is hermana leon and she is from el salvador!!!!! she is
a convert to the church of 1 year and 7 months!!!! and wow is her testimony
strong! training is fun..but different! you forget that the new missionaries
dont know the schedule very well yet! but its getting there! and she has a lot
of desire to learn!!! i am seeing the words of hermana hernandez come to pass!
she told when our change ended that the lord would give us the gifts we need to
do the work he has for us! and how true that is!!!! :))))
also i want to share
with you all about our most recent convert, MARIA INES!!!! :)
she is 12 years old!
and is one of the smartest people i have met! we have been teaching her since i
got here!! :) and last monday we went to make sure she was still set for the 18
to be baptized...and she said she had to pray about it! well this little KNOWS
how important prayer is!!!!! long story short..she prayed 3 times! and EVERY
SINGLE TIME she received the same answer! we went on wednesday to see what her
answer was (the second time she prayed) and she said, "hermanas i want to
be SURE, and i know that god will answer! this is the last time i am going to
pray! and when i receive the answer...im getting baptized!" we sure
enough! we went on friday to visit her and she said she had received her
answer! and that saturday at 6 pm she was getting baptized!!!!! i almost cried
when she said that!!!!!
this week i have had a
little bit of a cold and less of a voice and some problems with my stomach! but
when i saw this little girl walk into the baptismal font...none of that
mattered!!!! NONE!! another soul was saved this weekend! and the lord used me
and my companion to help save it!!! :) she is a huge witness to me that GOD
ANSWERS PRAYERS!!! she said that she felt a peace wash over her and a joy in
her heart! THAT IS THE SPIRIT!!!!! we wont always see visiones, 99.999% of the
time we dont see them, we wont always have huge dreams, or life changing
moments. but we WILL feel peace, joy, HAPPINESS, calmness! i know we will!!! i
have not only seen it in the lives of SO many investigators, but in my own
life!
we are children of
god! this life has no purpose if we dont return to his presence, bettered!!!!!
that is why we are here! to be tried and tested, and to prepare ourselves to
RETURN TO LIVE WITH GOD!!!! i love you all so much and am so grateful that i
have such an amazing family like you all!! please be safe and eats lots of food
for me on wednesday!! I LOVE YOU!!!
con mucho mucho amor,
Hermana Canty
