It´s been two weeks of soooooo many miracles. I won´t be able to tell you everything that has
So the reason that I didn´t write last week (I was never even going to say anything because I didn´t want you to worry mom....but it´s kind of a cool story) is because we had a zone activity in La Romana last monday and as we walked out of the church into the road a motorcycle that was driving on the wrong side of the road and going super fast so I didn´t even see it....hit me. It was a hit-and-run, so I actually never saw anything. I hit my head on the ground pretty hard and the wind got knocked out of me, so it was hard to breathe. Luckily there were still other missionaries inside the church and they came out
and helped me into the chapel and gave me a blessing. They called the bishop of the ward we were at and he took us to the Emergency room. Really nothing happened, which is a miracle. My leg got cut up and my head got cut up, but nothing other than that. We went back to Higuey after and we proselyted like normal...just a little slower! I know that the priesthood blessing that I recieved was the key point. But the interesting part now: on tuesday, so the day after the accident, we had zone conference in the chapel of La Romana. When we arrived, there was a man there talking to a couple of other missionaries. They called me over. The man who hit me and had driven off, came back the next day. He said he didn´t sleep that night and felt terrible, so he came willing to cover whatever costs he damaged. I told him I was fine and the only thing I
wanted from him was for him to go to church and to listen to the missionaries. He accepted and now the missionaries are teaching him! If it took him crashing into a sister missionary on his motorcycle to find the gospel, so be it! I´m glad I could be the means of him finding the truth! We have also met a lot of people recently that have gotten hit by motorcycles and had a LOT worse things happen. The picture I attatched is a woman and her niece that both got hit by motors but one broke their femur and the other her ankle.....and then me with my cut haha But I know that Heavenly Father was watching over me and I know that he hears the prayers that you always say for the missionaries safety!
Campusano got baptized on Saturday! He was so happy and so excited! Hermana Jacinta (his girlfriend) was
SO happy too! They´re the greatest! We´re also seeing a lot of help from members right now, which is great.
There are a lot of people that are willing to listen to us right now and have the desire to be baptized. We have made a goal to talk about and invite everyone to be baptized we have really seen the results! We ended the week with 17 people that committed to make a covenant with God and be baptized! Now Hna Aleixo and I have to continue to be the instruments in God´s hand to help them and even more people come unto Christ.
We have also been focusing on the spirit. We are telling people that maybe they won´t remember everything they listen from us, but we want them to realize
the feelings they feel and to reconocer the spirit when it´s talking to them. This is the change we´ve been seeing. people are starting to understand the spirit more.
We were walking in the street one day and a girl stopped us and said Ï always see you in the street are you Testigos?¨ (Jehovas witness) We said no and then we contacted her. We gave her a pamphlet of The gospel of Jesus christ and she jumped up and down and huged us so hard and said ¨no one has ever given me a gift so great in my life!¨ then she told us where she lived and we put a cita to visit her. But then the next day, we were walking way far away from where I understood she lived, and we found her house by miracle! She had read the pamplet two times and so we gave her a book of Mormon to
read. When we went the next day she was already reading in 1 Nefi chapter 20! Her name is Noelia and she´s 15 years old and the cutest most energetic thing!
I was reading the talk given in General Conference called ¨By divine Design¨and I have been trying to see the ¨conincidences¨in my live....which really aren´t conincidences. There are so many!
LES QUIERO MUCHO! Have the greatest weeeeek evvvverrrr!
