Hermana Amy Geis: Week 69 :Enjoy Every Moment !

Hello everyone!

So this week was pretty awesome! We really tried to use every second to work hard and find people! We had the blessing of finding 18 new investigators!!!! So that was amazing. We met up with one couple who we talked to a while ago, and we had a lesson with them in the park! So that was pretty cool. It was actually a really powerful lesson. I just love when we can testify boldly, not being afraid. Because they cant say anything about a powerful testimony. We have the privilege of testifying of truth! So there's no sense in being soft, or shy about it. That's a lesson that I've learned - to not be ashamed, and to testify boldly.

We were visiting a member whose like 80 years old named Daisy, and she was telling us about a lady that she was visiting that just had a surgery where they amputated her legs. She told us that she had been talking to her about the church. We were like, we would love to go visit her! And so Daisy said, Lets go right now! So this 80 year old lady took us to where the lady lived (and it was pretty far for an elderly lady to walk) and it was awesome. This lady, Marielos, lives with her husband and two kids and they are SO prepared for the restored gospel. We are so excited for them!

So that family that we have been visiting that has the mom who is less active and who we had a really spiritual lesson with them where she was crying, is doing really well. We visited them on Saturday and the dad Mauricio, did not want to go to church. He said that he didn't know how he felt about changing churches and all these things. So we talked a lot about prayer, and how he can only get the answer from God and the Spirit. He basically said that he wasn't going to go to church the next day. But guess what...they all came to church the next day! It was so beautiful to see them there. It was testimony meeting, and almost all the people talked about what we had taught him the day before (prophets and apostles) it was perfect. So we are going to do EVERYTHING to help them progress and keep coming to church. We already have planned to go with a ton of members to help teach them.. Oh by the way, this family lives super far away and it is like a forest. Its awesome.

Time is going by so fast! I really can't believe it. There are so many missionaries who are ending their mission in these changes, its so weird. We just have to enjoy every moment!!

Well I love you all!! Thanks for everything!

Love, hermana Geis :)
