Hermana Amy Geis: Week 22-A White Weekend

Hellooo everyone.
Holy cow this past week/weekend was the most stressful thing ever! I dont even want to write about the details because ill get stressed again hahaha but just know that everything worked out!!
The wedding turned out great. It was pushed back a little bit because there were two baptisms of two 8 year olds right before, and they had a dinner too. But the church was all decorated, we put on wedding music for siany to walk down the aisle, and we had a member speak about marriage before the lawyer, because we knew he doesnt talk much. And there was a lot of people there to support them so that was awesome!! Siany looked gorgeous and it was so special to see them make this step together :) Without going into detail, the baptism was changed to sunday morning. So after the wedding everyone ate all the food, and we cleaned up and went home! The next morning before church, at 8:30 am, they got baptized :) They looked so happy. After they recieved the holy ghost, their faces were just glowing. It was awesome. And guess what, Fabian recieved the priesthood that same day!! Like what! Gustavo did too, finally, and im ecstatic that gustavo got that too. Fabian and siany might go to the temple with the district on november 8th, so that would be amazing. We gave fabian and siany a big laminated picture of the temple in costa rica with the date of October 26th 2015 - the day that they can get sealed as a family for eternity. We know theyll make it, and we will still be here and will be able to go with them! :)

So remember Paola, the one we felt to go talk to in her house? She told us a little more about what happened that day. Just before, she had been talking to her mom, crying. She had said that she wasnt going to believe in God anymore because she didnt understand why bad things were happening to her. She had asked got to show her a sign, and thats when we showed up. So amazing! :) God could have answere her prayer in any way he wanted. But he LET us be an answer to our prayer. He let us feel the prompting and go and talk to her.
Today we helped paint our investigator runias hair salon! Runia has come to church a lot and everything, but has no desire to make a commitment to be baptized. We are working slowly but surely with her to help her make covenantsso that was good haha
This week we are going to work super hard to find the people that have been prepared by the lord. We know that there are people waiting to accept the gospel and we need to find them.

Well thanks for everything, until next week!!

Hermana Geis :)
