Welp. This is the first week of the new transfer! It is really fun to be with my new comp. and its weird to be the short one now. but she is a workie workie with lots of good ideas, and its neat to see how she works. Im grateful to get to know her and learn how to be better.
This week was relatively uneventful, we just did a lot of contacts. One lesson that we had was this woman let us in and so we taught her and her granddaughter. She had contracted cancer and was a punto a morirse cuando [about to die when] an evangelical minister came and healed her. she has been super faithful in her church since then. we explained the whole authority thing though, and she understood really well. Unfortunately she wasn´t there when we went to get her for church. But i have just been thinking about that a lot lately. i have met many people recently that have changed there lives either through spiritual or physical healing, because of these evangelical people that heal or teach about Christ. and then there is what Dallin H Oaks says, that we aren´t trying to help people change their lives or be happier just for the moment, but that we have the ultimate goal of eternal life. I truly know that the only way to get this greatest blessing of God is through His church which is the only one that has the authority. I am grateful for the people that listen about Christ and learn of Him to be better people, but we just have to help them understand there is more. And they can understand that through sincere prayer and the answer from the Holy Ghost.
This week i got a little sick, nothing serious, but my voice has gone a little weak sauce. every time I talk in Spanish my voice is like a 13 yr old boy who hit puberty. it sounds a little ridiculous but it's funny.
welp. thats all i have for this week. I love you all with the heart of a daughter of God. I dont know what that is supposed to mean.
Love Sister Carmen Dunford.
i can't wait for carmen to get home and teach me spanish
