testifying power of the spirit

My family,

This week has been long.  Not really. It went by just as fast as all the rest but I dont think ive ever managed to stress myself out as much before.  Ha, there is just so much to do and literally no time.  On top of that the schedule changed so we have all studies in the morning and work during the siesta which just makes eveything more difficult.  Its still hot enough to be summer (but not blazing middle of summer) but it now gets dark at 7ish and the sun doesnt come out til 7ish in the morning.  una porquería.   Pero bueno.  My companion is slowly getting used to mission life and the area and Im excersising my patience ha. Mas que nada its the fact the I have to make a lot of the decisions by myself which is.. stressful, as mentioned.   

Our wonderful family is progressing but slowly.  I dont even know if Ive mentioned them before but its a mom and her 8 kids.  3 older girls and 5 between the ages of 6 and 11.  They all came to church with us last week and this week we were hopin that one ofht e older girls or the mom would bring them but... no such luck.  its hard teaching them because they all have such different needs but love listening together..   if that even makes sense.   we tr to focus on different groups each time we go which is working but like I said, slowly.  I constantly wonder if Im doing the right thing but weve had a few amazing moments and I know that the Spirit is working..   if they dont keep progressing... I dont think it will be my fault.  Either way, its those moments taht make all the other stressfull crazy ones worth it.  The moments when the Spirit in the room is so strong that nothing,  not even barking dogs or 89gazillion mosquitos and no off, can drive it away.  It amazes me and brings me to tears.  One of their daughters, Fatima, that came to chuch with us last week wanted to get up and bear her testimony.  she has 9 years and had me go up with her.  "Hola, Yo me llamo Fatima Gamarra. Quiero decir que siento que esta Iglesia es verdadera.  En el nombre de Jesucristo. Amen."  I stood at the pulpit jsut ... amazed as i watched her take her seat and look up at me with a big smile.  tears filled my eyes.  Christ tells that we need to humble ourselves and become as little children.. and that is why.  Because they can feel the power of the Holy Ghost and believe. Sin dudas, sin preocupaciones. It{s what i long and strive for.  

I hope you all have a wonderful week.  Be happy and smile.  And be as little children.  Open to feel, open to believe.  "all things denote there is a God"  He loves us.  I have never felt that more that i have since being here. 

Con cariño,
