¡hola y'all!!!
How is everyone doing?? So well I hope:) This week was so crazy, but honestly it was such a good one. We were pretty dang busy, but I definitely think that's when missionary work is the most fun.
This week we started teaching 4 new amigos!! They're so sweet! First we had Samantha and her dad, Domingo, and Samantha is literally the coolest girl I've ever met. She LOVES the Bible, so we love that. Then we have this super kind man named Jose, we've only talked to him on the phone, but he's such a gem.
We also had a few lessons with our cutie pie amiga Isabel, and her boyfriend agreed to join us, so we started teaching him as well! They're thinking about getting married soon, so Hermana Hansen and I are too excited and we're really hoping we get to plan a nice little beach wedding for them hehe. Isabel is amazing though, I've never met anyone with a stronger desire to follow Christ. Each lesson we have with her we all just grow so much. 💓 It's the best.
On Saturday we met our sweet amigo Arturo! We've been trying to get in contact with him for 4ever, and we finally did! He's such a sweet little abuela, keep him in your prayers please!
In other news though, we got to go on some exchanges this week, and it was my first time going to an English area! I loved it, but I love Spanish more lol. We also got to meet with a bunch of other missionaries for a little meeting on Thursday so that was fun. I love any chance we get to see President and Sister Platt, they're just too dang sweet:)
Okay and just a little escritura I would love to share with y'all can be found in Matthew 5 or 3 Nephi 12, whichever libro you have closest. But in both chapters, it's verses 15-16, and it says, "Behold, do men light a candle and put it under a bushel? Nay, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light to all that are in the house; Therefore let your light so shine before this people, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." I think something we can all agree on is that sometimes this world can be pretty dark. There is always someone who needs a little more light in their life whether they realize it or not, and I'd say this is pretty important since Jesus taught it personally to the Nephites and the people in Jerusalem, but we can be the light that they need! The goodness in our hearts and the knowledge that we have of Christ is best used when it's shared with others, not when we keep it to ourselves. I've been trying my best to let my little light shine, but of course, there's always room to grow and ways for it to get brighter.
I love y'all sooo so much. I can feel your light, so let others feel it too. 😊 You'll never know how you can change the world with just one little growing glow!!
Con amor,
Hermana Brayton 😊
