There was a young guy who yelled out to me from his car, "I will wait for you!"... So if all else fails, I have him to fall back on... hahahah!
This week was HOT! We were outside a lot, contacting, and looking for new people to teach. While my family is looking forward to snow, I am here waiting for the rain to come and save us from the heat! But I love it=)
We went to a wedding this week! It was for two investigators who are ready to get baptized, all they needed is to get married. It was really cool to see how they get married here in South America. The Lawyer came and not only recited what she had to to make it official, but she explained the responsibilities of being married. She explained that they would have to make decisions together and support each other in life until death. It was a beautiful thing to see, and they were so happy=) It also made me a little trunky (aka homesick) because I wanted to dance at the party after so bad!! Haha!
Something I learned this week is the importance of humility. When we are humble, we are willing. We are ready to do whatever the Lord might tell us to do. When we accept His help we are blessed. He understands perfectly what our weaknesses are and what we can do to overcome them. 2 Corinthians 12:10 says, "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong". When we take on the pressures of the world for Christ's sake we are strong.
Take on your struggles one at a time and trust in God=)
