Hi fam!!
This week was great! A lot of it passed a little slow. My companion got the round 2 symptoms of Chickenguya and so we had to walk a lot slower in the streets and rest a little bit more. But God has been helping us get along.
We have been putting the family home evenings in practice and they are going great!! We have already had 2 of them and people are coming!! Between this and the primary programs the asistence [attendance] went up 20 people this week!!! We're gunna see Flores blossom (heh. get it?) This Saturday was so good!! Remember that family that gave us all of their book back to us and told us that they didn't want to come back to church because of all the comments?? THEY CAME!!! We hadn't passed by for about 2 weeks but we decided to drop off an invitation to them that same morning. And later that night they made the trek all the way down to Hna Yocondas house to come!! And same with her brother and his family!! So we'll be dando un poco de seguimiento con ellos!! starting with somehow giving back their book of mormons :)
Os we have been teaching Hermanita Iris for a little over a month now. She's 17 years old and has a bunch of health problems. Everything was going great but then suddenly we weren't able to find her for a week or so. We finally found her and had a lesson with her and her primo the other day and we had found out that she was invited to a birthday party and fell into temptation. Her heart was broken and she was scared what we were going to say to her so she had been avoiding us for the last few days. But she explained the whole situation to us and at the end she just told us....
¨¨Hermanas. I just can't. Satan is so strong and I can't handle the temptations that keep coming.¨¨
¨¨Yeah I mean its true - Satan is strong. But ya wanna know who's stronger?? YOU ARE!... You are so much stronger than whatever Satan has in store for you. Because you have a body and he doesn't. His WHOLE GOAL is to bring you down!! So who is stronger??¨¨
¨¨ I AM!!¨¨
¨¨What are you?¨¨
¨¨ SOY FUERTE.!!¨¨ [I am strong]
And yes we are! (you could say all the years in Young Womens did me well!! WE chanted it for a couple more minutes just to make sure she got it ;)
But yes we are strong. With God's help we can do anything and as His children we have the divine potential to do all things.
LOVE YOU! Hermana Nelson
