80's songs have a way of saying exactly what I'm thinking.
Often, as we are walking in the street, or after something strange
happens, lyrics to 80's songs come popping into my head and I can't help but
sing them. My companions have no idea what I'm saying, but it certainly
helps me express myself.
Lately... actually, all of these past two transfers,
I have found my self singing the chorus to one of my personal favorites
"All I need is a miracle, all I need is you."
We've been struggling a little bit out here in the desert
of Las Fuentes. It's been quite dry literally and spiritually and I've
been praying that this "drought" could end soon. After 2 months of
waiting, this past week we had a little drizzle.
Clementina & Fabiola: Hace 2 semanas Sonia, our
recent convert came up to us during Relief Society and told us that she had a
friend that she wanted to take us to. That Wednesday we followed her to the
house of Clementina, without questions she and her daughter Fabiola let us in,
we taught lesson 1, and they accepted a baptismal date.
Pedro: As well, two weeks ago he showed up at church
with another recent convert, Cipriano. We made an appointment to visit
him Thursday, lesson 1, another accepted baptismal date.
Claudia: After a failed attempt to visit a contact, we
were walking, trying to think of where else we could go when a man who had
casually sat in on one of our lessons about 3 months ago (but said he had no
interest) called out to us and said that he had mentioned our visit to his wife
and she wanted to see us. Now she has a baptismal date too.
Blanca: We went to visit an investigator named Marta.
She wasn't home, but there was Blanca. As we walked in, the first
thing she said was (my translation into English) "Hey, I want you guys to
start coming to my house to teach my family." Just like that.
And I thought, "...well if you insist...."
Sometimes it's good to be thirsty. Helps you enjoy the
water more.
P.S. FELIZ DÍA DE INDEPENDENCIA MÉXICO!!!!

Sounds like more than a drizzle to me. Sounds like a MONSOON!
ReplyDeleteNothing really good comes easy. Part of the sweetness is the sweatness of the effort and living in the Baja you really sweat the effort. Your prayers and the righteous desires of your heart were answered.
