I was quite sick this week so one day I downed some dayquil then I was out on the floor in the family history center for 2 hours lol whoops!
At the homeless shelter usually we just stay at our stations handing food out but this week i helped this sweet woman Lila carry her box to her car- she said she lives under the bridge which just broke my heart! But after we got to her car she gave me a hug with tears in her eyes and i felt such a connection to her, maybe we knew each other in the prelife.
Then after I returned, Ruben who's one of our dawgs at service asked if I'd go pray with him for this lady with demons or schizophrenia or something. So we gathered some cash and went over and told her how God loved her and she calmed down and had the light come back in her eyes for a second. It's so cool how just talking about God to someone can bring them the spirit so fast.
I dont know if its just because its the last week of the transfer or if its the fact that i havent had a comp younger than me in the mission. Dont get me wrong Hermana Lambert has been so very pleasant and fun to be with. But she very much likes her comfort bubble so i think im ready to spread my wings and be senior comp haha! Kinda bittersweet because not only is Hna Lamby going home, but the rest of my comps here are leaving too- hermana blake and morgan
This week in the chosen there was a scene that totally opened my eyes about the atonement!! Mary magdelene had gone back to her old habits, and came back feeling so ashamed. Jesus redeemed her once before and she threw it all away and knew she couldn't repay Him. And it's true, we cant repay Him. We cant live up to what He did for us, but we don't have to. Read that again- we dont have to, because he is so full of mercy. He and Heavenly Father just want our heart, and our desire to be better, and the rest comes in time. That is how the gospel brings beauty and transformation.
Hearts and kisses and love
