We have received Sister Baker's flight arrangements from Dallas to Salt Lake City. As of now she arrives on Wednesday, November 25, at 2:15 in the afternoon.
Hola!
I'm not going to lie when I say that Spanish is both easy and
confusing to understand. It's easy to read but hard to hear. THEY
SPEAK SO FAST. My companions are helping me learn to conjugate Estar
and Ser and it has helped quite a lot.
I also learned and experienced some miracles towards obedience. When we
were heading over to a potential appointment there was a group of not
friendly looking guys near the passage we would have to use to get
into our recent convert Ivan's apartment. With it being kinda...
extremely sketchy we turned around. Then we contacted a lady on our
way to our car, like we have been taught to do as missionaries. While in the middle of contacting the lady, I heard the sound of the Ivan's daughter talking very loudly near their apartment.
Ivan had come out of his apartment and was waiting for us and once we
walked back to the apartments the group of guys was gone. If we had
just gone straight back into the car we would have missed our chance to have a
lesson with Ivan. Obedience works.
Something else that was awesome was that we got a new investigator
named Phillip. He had called the mission office and referred himself!
He is awesome. He's done a lot of research about the church and is
very open and understanding especially about the odd things about the
church and the not so nice things others say about us. When we first
got to his house there was a package on his doorstep, we didn't think
much of it until the end of the lesson. At the end he opens it and it
was Mormonism for Dummies.
He came to church yesterday and we know he may have been a little over
whelmed but that he liked it. Everything at church that day was about
trials and spiritual gifts and we know that was just what he needed.
God works in miraculous ways and when I take time to look at my own
work I see His work enveloped completely in it.
Love y'all so much and hope your week goes well.
Love, Sister Baker
