Rain Rain Rain and more Rain!

This week was great!! And this week was wet! It rained a TON! I didn't know it could rain this much haha! Okay maybe I am exaggerating a little bit, but they weren't kidding when they told me it rained a lot here! Also, I am understanding a lot more now! I love being able to know what people are saying!:)

This week we had a lot of people over in Darque to go see and so we had to cross the bridge, but it was raining like crazy and soo windy! We had to hold on to the railing to walk straight and so we wouldn't get blown off the bridge;) My umbrella broke and Sister Gilbert's umbrella broke because of the wind.  It is crazy!

We are still working with Jose.  He chose another day to be baptized.  He wants to be baptized the 24th! We are trying our hardest to help him.  He has been to church 5 times and I know he knows this is the true church I just think he has a hard time seeing how much faith he really has.  He is awesome! 

We had a zone conference on Thursday. It was very inspiring! It made me want to keep trying to be better and strive to be the best missionary I can be. They kept calling on Sister Gilbert and I to do things.  They made us do the practice in front of everyone.  It was fun and we learned a lot! 

There are always miracles everyday.  One day it was pouring and Sister Gilbert and I were wet and cold and we decided to take our dinner break and change into dry clothes. Then we went back out into the rain to knock doors and no one was letting us in. I remember thinking... don't they know what we are going through to be here! Why don't they just let us in?!?!?!  We are cold and wet and we have the greatest message ever! Then after it was getting close for us to head home this one girl opened the door and let us in and we were able to teach her the whole first lesson.  She was so excited to read the book and pray! It was awesome:) It made the whole night worth it! Her name is Daniela and we are going to try to go teach her more this week.  And then the rest of this week as we have been working hard and been soaking wet and had a lot of doors slammed in our faces I couldn't help but smile because this work is awesome.  This church is the true church.  And these people need to hear this message!:) A line from PMG kept coming to my head, "More happiness awaits you than you have ever experienced as you labor among His children." I really just felt so happy. Have a great week.  I love you all!:) Keep smiling! Remember that God loves you:)

Com amor,

Sister Sampson
