This week was great! I will just talk about the highlights because I don't have that much time today!
Monday
night we went over to see Eva, one of our progressing investigators,
and she was glowing! One of the ward members had called her and talked to her
and it made her sooooo excited for her baptism! It is so great seeing
the happiness the Gospel has brought into her life and it was so cool seeing
how much a ward member can effect an investigator positively. The
Gospel has brought her so much joy and she is getting baptized tomorrow! We are so excited for her!
Christmas
Eve the Pinto family was moving from their house to their Grandparents
house and we were helping them. They don't have a lot, but this lady
walked by and asked for food and without hesitation Irma Pinto went and
filled a bag full of all of the food she had in her pantry! It was
incredible to watch her give when she doesn't even have a lot.
Then
Irma Pinto came with us to teach an investigator and on the way there
she told me her conversion story. She told me about how she saw two
Sister's and two Elder's on a bus and she saw that they had a light and
she said to herself that she wanted to be like them, but she was too
scared to talk to them. That really hit me. Sometimes I am too scared to
talk to people because I don´t know the language that well, but some
people might be just as scared to talk to me and that helped me realize
the importance of forgetting myself and my fears and just talking to
everyone because there might be that one person that sees the light that
we have and is too scared to talk to us and if I don't open my mouth I
might miss them! In the end she told us that the next day on the train
the Sister sat by her and gave her a Book of Mormon. I loved hearing
that story! It gave me that little push that I needed to remind myself
to forget my fears!
Well, Christmas was
amazing! We went Christmas caroling and got a lot of doors closed in our
faces, but it was still so great to be sharing and teaching this Gospel
and remembering our Savior on Christmas! I love you all and have a
happy new year!:)
Love,
Sister Sampson
