3 Dec 2019: Tamales and Miracles
Hello everyone!
This week was great! Well more like the past 5 days were great! I don't have a ton of time, but the highlight BY FAR of the week, was when Elder Palmer and I were translating in Alta Vista's sacrament meeting into english (for the spouses and family members who dont speak spanish) and then, Alma walks in with her daughters, late like usual, but then, José walks in with them!!! He is her soon to be husband, who is a less active that we have been working with for a while, since I got here! I literally was so excited, I forgot I was translating for about 30 seconds, and when I started translating again, my voice was super shaky, I could barely hold it together. And they stayed for sunday school, AND they are meeting with the branch president (leader of the congregation) tomorrow, AND he is coming out to a lesson with us tonight!! It was such a miracle. I felt physically exhausted afterwards because of how excited I was, and how much love I have for that family. I could not imagine my mission without them, or any of the other families I have interacted with on my mission.
After church José and Alma invited us to have dinner with them that evening, and they made tamales! They were so good, and they were Central American style, so they were made with a banana peel instead of a corn husk, and they were AWESOME!
So Sunday was a great day.
I know that repentance is real, and it literally brings unimaginable joy to you and those around you!
Have a great week!
