This week was great! It started and ended with miracles! Last pday was super hard for me, so me and Hermana Fernelius decided to fast. We fasted for many different things-comfort, peace, etc. And one specific thing we fasted for was that moms package and letters would be able to make it to me! The next day we had a district meeting and I recieved the package and 5 dear elder letters!!!!!!!! We were like whatttt!!! I wish I could send the video of me opening the package but its too big to send! Ill show you when i get home mom (: But It was such a testimony builder to me on the power of fasting! I am so grateful that our heavenly father listens to every worry and care! We are so blessed!
Also yesterday we had a very tender experience. We went to pick up an investigator for church (Gabriela) and she wasnt able to come. Hermana Fernelius mentioned that she had been thinking a lot about Adriana, Adriana, and Poula (other investigators) this past weekend. So I said lets call them! They answered and told us to come ride with them in their car to church. Keep in mind that Adriana (mom) hates being late.. she is always early for everything, If she is late she wont go! So we hurried and ran over and right as we got there, they were walking outside to their car. There car is a superrr old car and they have to put the battery in every time they use it (It got stolen one time so now they take it up to their house) So once they got the battery in, we got in the car and then found out that the car wouldnt kick over. There was absolutely NO way it was going to start. Haha and for some reason I just knew it wasnt going to start until we said a prayer. So I let her mess around with it for a little bit, and after a little I finally said "Would it be okay if we said a prayer?" She said yes, but still tried to get the car to start. After a long minute she gave in and said okay lets pray (poor thing she was shaking). I offered the prayer and prayed that the car would be able to work and funtion for us. After the prayer, on the first try, the car started right up as if it never had any problems! Her whole family was shocked. They were like No way no way! The spirit was so strong and I was almost in tears! During the second hour in church, Adriana (mom) started to cry and bore testimony to our class on the power of prayer and shared this experience. She said that she doubted before that the prayer would help, and after this experience she realized that prayer really is so powerful!! She said I now have such a strong testimony on prayer!
This was such a tender miracle for me. It was so amazing to be able to be a part of such a tender miracle! I feel so blessed to be able to have these tender moments here with these amazing people! Not only did it strengthen the testimony of Adriana and her girls, but mine too. I put all my faith on the line, and Heavenly Father didnt let me down. I didnt realize till after how big of chance I took.. but I had such a surety and I knew it would start up after we prayed! It showed me that when I take a leap of faith, Heavenly Father will always catch me.
Okay so fun fact of the week- We ran into a mariache band!! And I totally got a picture with them I was so excited! Ha it was so funny they put their arms around me and I was like uhhhh and I looked at Fern and she just started laughing as she took the picture!
Also one of the Native Hermanas thought my last name was Chipmonk so that was funny!
AND one night this week when we came home, I looked over and I had a reciet on the table. And I had a double look back cause I saw "NATHAN C" on the reciept!! no joke!! Ill send a pic nate (: look closely! It was so cool!!
Yup I also had to eat fish again.. You will die at the pic it is so funny! Lets just say it was not a pretty experience. I almost ran for the bathroom a couple different times! And there was SO much food! Heck! I was dying! I was the last person to finish hahaha so bad.
