Dear Family and Friends,
How has everyone's week been! This week was a tad bit rocky, but we keep going. The phrase that has been on my mind the most this week has been, "after all we can do!" Because that is one thing that I have learned in my time as a missionary is at times we literally have to do all we can and exhaust ourselves to the end and then the Lord steps in and takes care of the rest. And at times this is super frustrating, but I have also seen the growth and progress I have made because my Father in Heaven loves me enough to not give me everything I need when I want it, but he still answers me. In times when he knows I Need it.
This past week contact with Javier has been a little frustrating, we messaged him every single day and he would text back occasionally, but we could never set a lesson with him. And we felt like we were bothering him, but we had a goal of daily contact. But as Sunday rolled around we were very little on faith, but decided to send him a text and because we did he tuned into online church!!! And then today we sent him another text and finally have a lesson set up for tonight!
We finally had a in person lesson in the house of a memeber this past week! After 7 months it was super weird, but it went super well! We had lesson with Hasey and we talked about church, because she works on Sundays. And she expressed her frustration with us, she has being doing everything she could and nothing has happened. She reads in the Book of Mormon, prays everyday, asked her boss 10 times for Sundays off, and even fasted with us! So she literally did everyting in her power, and nothing was happening. So we came home that night and got a random text from a returning member that we've talked to maybe 2 or 3 times, and she said she had a job open and it was perfect for Hasey and she was going to be able to come to church! So she got an interview all lined up and ready to go, and on her way to the interview she got in a car accident and couldn't go to the interview.... yeah, we were pretty frustrated
But it turns out that they had another day of interviews this morning, and we haven't heard how it went but we are hoping for the best! But it all is going well and trusting in God that he knows best!
I love you all and hope it is a great week for everyone
Love,
Elder Jorge
