Happy Valentines Day loves!
Today is a wonderful reminder of the commandment we've all been given, "...That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another” (John 13:34–35).
I have been praying for and studying charity these past few days and it has been amazing to see that gift more in my life. One night this week, we had a few minutes left before we were to go home for the day. We decided to walk to the bus stop and talk to the people waiting there. There was about 5 people sitting on the benches and they all seemed curious to hear what our message was. Sister Juber and I began talking to one and when they were not interested, we'd turn to the next person. Then two people at the same time wanted to hear so still standing next to each other, Sister Juber took one and I started talking to the other. It was actually kind of nerve-racking because I had no clue what to say to him haha. But I opened my mouth and trusted that the Lord would help me say what this homeless looking man needed to hear (not to judge his appearance, just wanted you all to envision what was happening haha). He ended up not being interested either but it was a good learning experience for me!
We walk around the streets late at night and talk to people who I would've been so scared to talk to before the mission, but now, I just feel so much love for them! I want to share the gospel with everyone because I know it will bless their lives so much! The light of Christ changes people. I know and can SEE how keeping the commandments truly blesses you.
Update on our friend from last week: we came back for the follow up lesson and checked in with our invitation to live the Word of Wisdom, she goes, "You know, I think God is trying to tell me something. After my meeting with you last week, I went to another appointment and they told me I have to stop doing [WOW]. So I guess I won't be doing it anymore." Are you kidding?! Heavenly Father is definitely reaching out to our girl Tatiana.
This week has been really great and we've been teaching so many people!!! It's amazing! My testimony continues to grow and I am so thankful.
God loves you! I love you!
Love,
