This week was great. we got to teach a lot. it was way better than last week thats for sure! everything seems to be going well. I getting a new companion this week. so that means we are going to be in a trio! YAY! three is a crowd, but its really fun. I'm still going to be seinor comp. and i will be training elder Hurst until he gets his Visa to Brazil. but yeah things are going great.
We started teaching a family that was referred to us by a member, the Beverly family. I'm so excited to see how the Gospel is going to bless them in their lives.
Helen Beverly is the mother of three girls, her girls are ten, five, and a little baby I think about 8 months. Their family is so special. They've had a really hard life.
Rayeal Beverly (the daughter that is five) was diagnosed with Leukemia. She is such an amazing little girl. Helen and her family have such a great spirit and love even tho they have such a huge trail in their life. because of medical bills from the daughters leukemia, the Beverly family was force to move out of their home. Right now they live in a shelter.
I feel the Saviors love so much when I serve and teach them. We had a lesson in a members home with Helen and the girls on saturday. We tought them about the Plan of Salvation, the Spirit was so strong! at the end of the lesson we asked Helen if she would like to pray, she said she didnt know how. So Elder Barria (the missionary I was with during the lesson) asked if he prayed if she would follow his prayer and repeat what he said. she agreed. shortly after the prayer started all three little girls joined in the prayer. it was such a special moment to her their little voices praying along with Elder Barria. Helen excepted the lesson and said she believes it to be true, she commited to come to church the following sunday. Elder Hurst and I waited for the Beverly family at the doors the next sunday, it came time for church to start and she didnt show. I thought "just a little longer" We waited until the sacrament was about to start and then went in and sat down. My heart was broke, I wanted them to come to church so bad. I said a little prayer and I felt calm. Sacrament meeting was great. After the meeting someone told me there was a family that come in late on the back row, IT WAS THE BEVERLYS!! they all went to primary and we joined them as well.
We are so blessed in our life. We dont even know. We have the Gospel and we have our families.
I love everyone. have a great week
P.s. please write me back. :)
