Hola familia. I am loving my new comp, she is SO great. We get along so well and we have been finding lots of great people to teach. It is the first time that I have been the better speaker of the two. She is so positive and eager and is a great motivator and helper for me in this area. I didn´t start working with her either until Thursday and we reached our goals of the standards again. It feels good! :) And we had five in the chapel! It was so great to see. A miracle that happened this week is that on Wednesday I was comps with Hermana Redfern, my good friend from, well, the mission, haha. Anyway we found this family and shared with them prayer and set an appt for the next day. The next day Hermana Hansen and I went and I went to clap at their door and right as I clapped I realized that it was the wrong house. And I was like oh crap oops (which is dumb because we should talk with everyone anyways) But the lady came out and was like come in! I was like hi ok! So we went in and turns out the woman, Celia,had been an investigator before but decided to not get baptized. Anyway the fact that we passed by to her is because God is trying to tell her something. We agreed whole heartedly. Anyway, we are now going for her and her son´s, Mauro, baptism. They are the greatest people. I really love them. They have agreed to be baptized if they feel it´s true and they are definitely on the right track. It was truly a testament to my Companion and me that the Lord is truly on our side and wants us to have success in helping save God´s other children.
I have never felt so much love for the people here. And it is so cool to see that I actually have an impact on their lives too. Like in the way more than the gospel. Like we are really good friends! It was so sweet, Mauro and Celia made for us this sweetened squash dessert, and it was so delicious! They did it because we told them we had never tried it. Then Micaela the recent convert is always making us cards to tell us she loves us. Then this other member (SO great I love her) gave me some lipstick because she noticed I ¨like the pinturas¨. Ah. The mission is so wonderful.
I testify that God helps us when we show our faith first. I testify that miracles are real and still happen. I know that if we don´t have the desires to be righteous, we can get on our knees and then beg God until we do. And then He will continually help us to stay on the path back to the Celestial Kingdom.
I love you all, and I especially love my Saviour Jesus Christ.
Thanks for your support and love. I feel it every day.
La Hermana Dunford
