Okay not even clickbait. I was watching safety zone (missionary training videos) and lo a behold, Hermana Shirley pops up on my screen. I have a high reputation to live up to.
Buen Dia todos! Not much to report this week that perhaps everyone would find interesting, but we had thanksgiving this past week, and theres a member who loves to cook, and knows Im from the US so she cooked me a thanksgiving feast, bless her soul and my cholesterol (yeah I definitely dont know how to spell that).
On Monday and for thanksgiving, our mission president gave us a challenge to only give gratitude in every single prayer for 3 days, at the start I was a little frustrated, I had things I really wanted to pray for, but as I came to do this, I feel like I was more grateful than ever this Thanksgiving, and felt extremely blessed. The past few days, Merida has felt like my home, and has actually reminded me of the Summers in Texas, and I have felt so happy and in my element.
A miracle this week: yesterday we were walking a ton, and we were really tired, but we didnt have many contacts by the end of the night, so we decided to kick it into gear. Not even probably a minute later, there were two people leaving their house. We contacted, but I didnt think about my words as much as I should have. At the end of contacting them, the woman started to cry, I just hugged her, and asked if she wanted to talk. She said no, not now, but when we had a lesson she did. She said she wanted to meet with us in the morning (today) but our afternoon is booked up, so we agreed on Wednesday, Im excited to see what happens, and it was a good reminder to think more about the importance of every contact, are we really trying to share the gospel/love/help everyone we come in contact with? I hope all is well
Vaya bien,
Hermana Shirley
