This week was great, but it was so HOT!
Oh my. It was like 110 all week and super humid, but it just made me
really grateful for when it isn't as hot. haha. This week was so awesome
though. So it makes up for the hot weather.
On Wednesday
I got to go on divisions with Sister Sivertson. It was so great. She
came and worked in Leiria with me. She is in her third transfer and so
she is still pretty new. I loved working with her. We saw so many
miracles and found a lot of new people to teach!
Friday
Sister Foote and I were walking past P- (the lady that stopped
us in the street last week or so) house and so we decided to call her
because all the appointments we set up with her kept falling through. We
called her and she answered and told us that she can't meet with us because
she is about to leave for work. So we were about to leave when she
called us again and told us that she can meet with us and go into work
late. We were so excited. We taught her the first lesson, which was
strange to do in English. I realized now that I was translating Portuguese to English. But besides that the spirit was soooo strong in
that lesson. We were all crying the whole time. She told us about how
she had seen us and then talked to her friend about us and her friend
told her to not talk to us. But she told us that she prayed and
felt like she really needed to talk to us and give a try and she thinks
that is was God telling her that she really needs to talk to us because we
called her after she cancelled on us like three times. We invited her to
baptism and she excepted! Then we talked all about church and she told
us she was so excited. Well Sunday
came and we called her and called her and she didn't answer:( and
didn't come to church, bummer, but she answered after church and told us
that she got home from work really late and was asleep, but she did tell us
that she wants to meet with us this week. So we will see how it goes:)
She is super awesome!
This week we kept trying
to meet with L- and her family, but everything kept falling through.
We kept calling her to invite her to church too, but she didn't answer
so we sent her a text and when we got to church they were there:) I
love this family! They are awesome and we have an appointment with them
today.
So yeah! This week was great! Super hot,
but worth it. I learned a lot about how sometimes we feel like we
aren´t good enough or we can't do what the Lord wants us to do, but the
scripture 1 Nephi 3:7 kept coming to my head. And I have a strong
testimony that the Lord qualifies who He calls. As long as we try our
hardest to do His will, He will help us do what He needs. Those thoughts
of inadequacy
never come from the Lord. So don't let them win:)
never come from the Lord. So don't let them win:)
Anyways, I love you all! Have a great week! Talk to you later gater!
Tchau for now!
com amor,
Sister Sampson
