another week down in san benito. it has been nice and hot. a lot of people here are poor and don't have air conditioners, so we just sweat to death in their homes. it's awesome. general conference was baller. general conference here is like a holiday. you pretty much don't work all day. members invite you out of nowhere to come and eat at their homes. everyone in our zone went to eat at texas roadhouse in between sessions on saturday. all the country music lovers were in heaven and getting super distracted. didn't phase me though. :) i loved elder bednar's talk about light and receiving revelation. i'm so grateful that heavenly father guides us and answers prayers and teaches us things through his spirit.
we visited this sweet woman this week. she got baptized about six years ago.. she has three daughters: 9,7, 18 months. apparently about four years ago, she (Gloria) fell away from the church.. got this boyfriend, started doing things that she knew she shouldn't, got pregnant, etc. etc. and hasn't really been back to church. but. recently she was praying and asked god if she should start coming back to church. that day the missionaries knocked on her door. then later that day she ran into some members she knew from the ward and hadn't seen since she left the church. and a couple days later her new visiting teacher came over to meet her. she said she knew that god was telling her to go back and she is so determined to do it. her boyfriend is aggressive and violent and jealous and doesn't want her coming back to church. so we made plans to meet with him this week and see if we could talk it out. and if not, i think she is planning on leaving him. she is awesome and has so much faith. we love her. so. pray for her! and us. and that the baby daddy's heart can be softened.
anyway. this is short, but i am about out of time. hope you are all swell. until next week!
love,
sister morrill
What is it with her and animals??
P.S., from Britt's mom: She will be home June 29th!
