Well, I don't have very much time left but I wanted to tell you guys
about some beautiful moments from our week:)
We had that FHE with Maciana and fam on Teus. that I wrote about and
when we there Maciana was telling us how they had submitted the papers on
Monday!!!!!!!!! Oh my gosh! And they officialy have a date to be married and
baptized on June 20th! And then then will be able to be confirmed on the Sunday
before I leave! It will be P E R F E C T. We already talked to the Bishop
about it and he's so down too:) He said we can start talking to the ward and
get invited everyone and do a recpetion afterwards too:) Everyone's pumped!
Anyway, on tuesday when Maciana was telling us this she said that she was going
to try and get some family pics taken of them before I left to send with me so
that "you will never forget us and know that this family will always stay strong
in the Gospel. Because you are the one that saved this family! (Ok, well, we
all know that Jesus is the one that saves us,) but you found us and rescued
us!" Man, I started crying just realized how very much this family means
to me and how much I will miss them! I am SO grateful that I was able to stay
here for my last transfer and see all of these miracles!
Umm one more thing, On Satruday we were visisting Luciano (who was
baptized last week, remember?!) And he was telling us that he didn't have any
food but was very grateful and happy and we were reading the B.O.M with him and
took a bunch of pictures of Jesus to hang up in his house and he loved them!
When we were getting ready to leave he told us to wait and came back all
excited with 2 little bananas for each of us that he took from the little
banana tree that he has behind his house. It was so very sweet. It reminded me
of the Widow and the Mite. The very little that he DOES have he gave willingly
and happily with no other intention than to serve, he was expecting nothing in
return!
Let us all try and be a little more like that every day:)
I love you all very much and am so grateful for all of the
opportuniites to love and learn that my mission is giving to me :)
Looove,
Sister Ventura :)
