Well another week of miracles. This mission is a mission of miracles. Each day my comp and I are looking for the little miracles that God has prepared for us. So this week, where do I even start. Ok so we contacted a lot last week to find someone to teach and we did not find that many people but this week it was all made up. We were walking on Tuesday and I saw a woman leaning on the wall. I felt ''talk to her'' but I ignored it then again ''talk to her'' so I did a fast turn and asked her if we could share with her a card. She did not seem interested at all she looked sad and it was so hard to hear her talk but something kept saying stay longer. So my comp and I began to make random questions and ended up talking to her about how God helps us in our difficulties. Then out of nowhere she started crying and said that she was pregnant and that her parents wanted her to have an abortion. She felt so presured and worried because she did not want to. I felt the spirit very strongly because I then understood why I felt what I felt. We talked to her and I began to get frustrated when we didnt have any other way to contact her, no phone number or address... How are we supposed to help her? I began to pray to know what God wanted us to do for her and I felt just testify, teach, and reinforce her feelings to not do the abortion. We did that as best as we could and when we had to say goodbye I felt peace, I felt that we did what God wanted us to do and that now we just needed to trust in Him. We gave her a book of mormon with a dedication and our phone number, we pointed out the church and told her whatever you need please come and talk to us.
So this Sunday....we were in sacrament and Erik our ward mission leader comes in and gives me a ripped card with half of Jesus' face and our contact info on the back. He says''theres a woman outside looking for you two''. It was her! Gaby! she was holding on her lap her other baby boy. We talked to her and found out that she was brave to fight for her baby and its amazing how even though we are strangers she thought of us. God is great! All week I prayed for her to be brave and not do it, and that if it was His will that we could see her again. I am so grateful for this miracle and for the way God can work though us. I know that if we listen and obey to the whisperings of the Holy Ghost we will be able to be instruments in His hands. Another amazing miracle is that Rosemary my favorite person here in Bolivia is getting baptized this Saturday in Linde, my old area. I took a picture with her this weekend at a fireside with Elder Montoya. She is so changed and that is what makes me so happy, the light that shines in her face. I rejoice in the thought that our friendship will be eternal. This week we toook care of the Hnas from the outside: Sucre and Tupiza! They came here for tramites and we got to be with them for a day! We had so much fun with them and took them to an awesome tacos restuarant in our area. Also, yesterday no one wanted to talk to us but a cute doggy with whom we took pictures with and declared him our loyal investigator that day haha. Well that was my week! Hope you all have a great one! Keep seeking the miracles in your days. & if you notice the little ones God will let you see the greater ones. I love you all, take care Hna Campana
