There is a saying among horse
people. When you fall of a horse you have to get back on. Two weeks ago it was
one of those falling moments. On Feb 21st my companions and I got into a car
accident. I was crossing a street and broadsided a car on the driver's side.
Now don't worry. Everything and everyone is okay. About three hours later after
things had calmed down I was slammed with emotions. I was sad, embarrassed,
probably all the emotions in between. It was hard to go out in the morning only
because I would see the car (whos front bumper is entirely off) which was a
reminder that the accident really happened. Then of course there are all the
missionaries that see it, let a lone our investigators, less-actives and
members. Bleh! To say the least! But as missionaries one of our best medicines
is to go out and work. So I go.
Not only was the accident a falling
moment but the family that I had just told you about and those pictures I
sent... We got a text from the mom on Monday during our zone p-day... She told
us she didn't want us to ever come back. We are not sure what happened. And of
course we were sad. Especially Hermana Freeman. I've been dropped so many times
that I can't even count so though I was sad I knew that I needed to move on and
focus on the people who want to listen. But since this was Hermana Freeman's
first drop... It was hard on her. She still talks about them. But there are
other prepared people the Lord needs us to find. So off we go!
There are two specific people that
we are focusing on. One is Justino Garcia. He is amazing. He was on date for
baptism however he works on Sundays so he hasn't come to church yet. He really
wants to but isn't quite ready to make the sacrifice of not working so he can
come. He always has great questions and reads 2-3 chapters from the Book of
Mormon each week. He really wants this to be true and he's working on try to
know. The next person is Jose Castillo. He been taught everything and even
passed the baptism interview questions. The only reason he hasn't been baptized
is because his mother-in-law says he wasn't ready. I am here to say he is sooo
ready. He told us that the Book of Mormon was very dear to him. He's finished
reading it! and is now reading the index/dictionary part. Before we went into
the lesson we told Hermana Freeman that she needs to ask him to be baptized. As
she started asking him (before she even finished) he interrupted and said,
"Si!" and we were like... ahh... what? hahaha. He said that he wants
to come to church 3 more times before he is baptized. He really is
amazing.
Well(: This is it! I hope all of you
are enjoying the cold weather in Missouri. If you are experiencing the nice
weather of 57 degrees we can enjoy it together!
I love you guys! Stay Sweet and
Don't do Drugs!
Hermana Durfee
