So on Wednesday Juan didn't show up to our lesson and my heart almost broke. And then on Friday we were going to have an English class and almost 20 minutes passed and he wasn't showing up. We stopped by his house and it seemed like maybe he was avoiding us and then my heart actually broke.
But the he showed up. And we had an amazing English class and had a lot of fun!
And that pretty much describes my week. Life as a missionary is so up and down and you never know what's going to happen next. On sunday a member told us that someone had called the church and asked for information from Joseph Smith saying that they hadn't been acquainted with the church for a long time but they were a member. So all we had was a name and an address and when we get there we realize we are at a mental hospital. But we find this woman and we got to talk with her some. She gave us one of the poems she wrote and she told us about her baptism. She said she saw jesus in the water when she got baptised. But it turns out our investigator Sheila who just got baptised works here and we saw her and it was so sweet to see her interact with these people because she loves them so much. Sheila is so Christlike.
You just never know what's going to happen! But when you Follow the spirit it is AMAZING to see how God places you exactly where you need to be. I know that this little town of Bourbonnais Illinois is EXACTLY where I need to be right here with Sister Summer Jagielski and president Griffin as my amazing mission president. I love it here. I know that God doesn't do anything just for no reason. He puts people in our lives for a reason so we have the opportunities we need to have learn and grow and come to know our savior.
I know God answers our prayers. Jesus Christ died for you and his arms are reaching out for you. Joseph Smith saw him and God the Father and he restored the gospel of jesus christ. I know it!
