Hola Familia y Amigos!
So the
other day our pensionista looked at me and said, “You have white hair.”
I was like, “I thought I had brown hair.” The she said, “No, look.”
Then she pulled a gray hair out of my head…WHAT? She found two more
too. I’m too young to have gray hair. My parents don’t even have gray
hair
yet. What is happening to me??
Ok this
week was awesome! This is what
happened: About a month ago we contacted
a woman named Marisol. We made an
appointment to stop by that week, but when we went she wasn’t home. We
went back a few days later and, again,
nobody was home. As these weeks passed
by I couldn’t get the name Marisol out of my head. I knew we had to go
back. Finally this week we stopped by and she was
home! She said, “I have been waiting and
waiting for you to come.” She said she
had been reading the pamphlet we gave her and it said beautiful things
and she
wanted to learn more. She called her
husband and kids in from the field and we taught all 7 of them. It was
so special! They came to church yesterday and it was the
best thing in the world! We’ve been
praying so much for this family.
Their
family is insanely poor and the parents don’t have much education nor religious
background. They can hardly read and we
have to explain things very simply, but they are super humble and have so much
faith. As I thought about this, I
remembered the story of Joseph Smith. He
could barely read, but through his faith and the power of God, he translated
the Book of Mormon. What a miracle!
The Lord
works by small and simple means to carry out his purposes. D&C 1:23 says, “The fullness of my gospel
might be proclaimed by the weak and the simple unto the ends of the earth.” I know that this is true, because I feel very
much weak right now. But I have great
confidence in the Lord. He has a plan
and His plan is perfect. How blessed are
we to have a knowledge of our Savior and to be found among those who have the fullness
of His Gospel.
Love ya'll tons and tons!
Con amor,
Hermana Harris
We went on a little hike and played some games as we ate food and looked out over the city of Andahuaylas. It's quite the view!
