Es Septiembre ya!

   
Hola mi familia!
This was a great week, I say that every week but there are so many things that the Lord needs done for his children, I am amazed that he helps lead us to all of them at the right times. It it so amazing!  We found a lot of new people, and are finding ways more and more to be ourselves in the lesson, but still let the people know of our purpose. We are having fun! I may or may not of gotten us VERY prepared for any weather problems, haha nothing happened, just some rain. But now we are prepared and everything is up to date for emergencies. I fell much better haha.
After no contact with a less-active (not being home, not answering calls) since May we decided to go to her house and “heart-attack” her door with two personalized notes and fun decorated hearts (I may or may not be glad that I have a like a 6 month supply of paper in the apartment- Sister Simpson questioned me at first but now is fully supportive of our paper collection :) haha). I had met her at a joint branch activity a couple months ago.  She called us just two hours later, and left a voicemail about how happy the notes had made her and she would LOVE it for us to come and see her. Night and day difference!! We were so happy, and can't wait to talk to her more.

We found a lot of new families this week, and are understanding how much being real people is helping us connect with the people better. I love it! Sister Simpson keeps describing it as opening up a new world, because we can now communicate with so many more people- that finally clicked with me this week. Just being happy, positive, and teaching them how the Savior can change their lives, as they look to him more (as we are trying to do everyday) their lives will change for the better!

When we enter into peoples lives (the missionaries, or members of the church) they remember us, and the Lord helps them to remember us at the right times.  One woman that we have seen two or three times now, no major lessons but she has a Book of Mormon, told us this week that after a rough week, a lot going on, she had been thinking a lot about us. And how it has helped her, and she was grateful that we are trying to help her find a way through everything. That really touched my heart. The Lord puts the right people in our lives at the right time to let us know that he is always mindful of us, and will be with us wherever we go.

Rebecca and Francisco are amazing! They had to move their wedding date to the 12th of October. They will be getting baptized after that and they are so ready! They are amazing, and so prepared. We are learning so much from them, and are praying everyday to find more people who are searching, just as they are.
We are still thinking out of the box, and it is making us happier and more successful. We are writing more and more letters, and keeping in contact with people better.

Let's see, we teach a lot to a recent convert- he is amazing, and doesn't really realize how amazing he is- which in itself is amazing. He is so curious and desires to do what is right, and has really turned his life around. He has taught me a lot, and i have been able to use past experiences in my life to help him understand how to apply the gospel to his.
I hope everyone is doing well, I love all of you and think of you often. I love these people, they are so loving still, and help make me happier as well. I am learning a lot about acting and having courage to do.

Con amor,
Hermana Coleman
