Well I had my birthday this last week and that was
eventful....
To start off my birthday we woke up in the middle of the
night to a pretty good sized earthquake and a notice for a tropical storm that
was going to hit Puerto Rico. We ended up not being able to enter our area due
to the storm so we worked in the area that we live in. Through a weird series
of events we ended up going to a members house to have lunch with the elders in
the area and while they were singing happy birthday lightning hit the nearby telephone pole and
caused a black out for the day also... But I made it through the day and I am
now officially 20 years old :)
But the next day was
the best day because one of our investigators and 3 of our recent converts
surprised me with a birthday cake and a box of chocolates :) Talito, Miyito, Miguel and Tortuga
I would love to talk about opposition. In 2 Nephi it talks
about opposition in all things and I think I would not have loved that bithday
cake as much as I did if not for the earthquake, storm, and lighting strike the
day before. I know that we have lows we are able to experience the highs. I am
really grateful for the blessing that the Lord has given me but I cant be
grateful for the blessings without also being grateful for the hardships. :)
We have seen some amazing blessings in our areas and we have
seen some amazing progress in Tortuga who has been giving up some really hard
addictions recently through the help of the Lord.
The members here are amazing and I love being in Toa Baja. I
will also be staying here in Toa Baja as a Sister Training Leader with Hermana
Carrasco for this next transfer and I know this is where I need to be and the
Lord knows what he is doing :)
I LOVE YOU ALL AND I LOVE HEARING FROM YOU ALL :)
Our first day as STL means FRAPPES!!!
