Hey guys!
Man, so after Zone Conference last week we have been on a spiritual high like no ones business! We have been able to follow the spirit so much better and allow the spirit to work through us. We were tracting on Sunday, shocker, and we knocked into this lady. She's Dominican! Yay! I miss them haha. She's a young mom with a family and her husband is Mexican. We only met her youngest daughter who is 4. On Sunday we didn't get to teach her a whole lesson, just a door lesson really quick and got a return appointment! So we went back there yesterday and taught her a real lesson! The first question she asked was, "why don't you believe in Mary, Jesus' mother?" We were like, oh no here we go haha.
So we tried to answer that the best we could and then we found out that 17 years ago in the DR she played volleyball with some of the members of our church out there! And she went to church a few times as well! Jackpot!! So we basically had the most random first lesson ever. We taught little parts of every lesson and some other random scriptures and stuff haha. But we had the spirit so strong in the lesson that while I was talking she had tears in her eyes and said, "can you feel that? I can feel something in my heart." and our faces probably were like, "no way!" So then we were able to teach her about the Holy Ghost and how it speaks to us in our hearts in the feelings like she was feeling at that moment.
By the end of the lesson we were working on asking her if she would be baptized, but she jumped ahead and said, "can I get baptized again even though I was baptized in the Catholic church?" We said, "Of course!!" So long story short, she is totally prepared and ready to hear our message! On our way out of her house she said, " I feel like I'm flying!" We told her we did too and we got another appointment with her tomorrow! I am so excited to work with her to help her come unto Christ and partake of this joy!
I can't believe that we found her tracting! I know that this work is truly the work of the Lord and that without Him and the Spirit, we wouldn't be able to even pretend to do this work. I am so thankful for all of the trials and hard times that I have gone through to be able to help these people through theirs. Even though I'm just a little 21 year old, the Savior knows how we can help them individually. I am so thankful for all of your support and for this opportunity to be here in NY serving the Lord's "elect"! This wouldn't be possible without all of you so thank you for your influence on me!!
I love you all so much!
Love, Hermana Bloxham :)
