Dear family and friends,
Happy Independence Day! (15 septiembre here in Central America)
Presidente changed p-day to Tuesday for this week only because of Independence Day yesterday. I don`t know exactly why, I only obey.
Independence Day was tranquilo here in Cojute. They had a parade in the morning (which we did not attend) and the rest of the day was just like any other day, with the only addition of almost everyone having the day off work and school.
Hna Merrell and I had a decent week. We found new investigators, left old investigators that weren`t interested in progressing more, and worked diligently to accomplish our goals. The highlight of the week was hands down a lesson we had on Sunday with a brand-new investigator. Her name is Joana, and she`s new and rather alone in Cojutepeque. All her family and friends live in San Salvador, she only moved here to be closer to her new job.
Long story short, she was definitely prepared to hear our message. When we shared the story of Joseph Smith and recited his own description of the vision in which God the Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him, she rubbed her arms and commented that the story gave her goosebumps- but good goosebumps, accompanied by a warm feeling in her chest that she`d never experienced before. We helped her recognize that feeling as the Spirit testifying to her of the truthfulness of the message. She committed to ask her boss for Sunday morning off so that she can attend church. It was a neat experience.
In other news, remember the Ventura family? The mother accompanied her kids to church for the first time this week! We`re hoping to help the father come too, on this coming Sunday.
I hope you`re all doing well, and are happy and healthy. Take care, and remember to make time for the spiritual things. God is all-knowing, and we should always evaluate ourselves to be sure our testimony of His doctrine is sure. Helaman 5:12. Believe me, it`s not worth questioning Him, even on seemingly little things. And we cannot pick and choose which parts of His doctrine we believe in. It`s all or nothing. Celestial Kingdom or bust!
Love you lots!
Hna Henrie
