Well
this was a pretty exciting week! Being in a trio with a Spanish
missionary, covering part of a Spanish ward and part of an English ward
is pretty nuts. We definitely have lots to keep us busy though, so that
is good. We had a couple pretty awesome miracles this week too. We were
able to help a sister move into the ward on Friday, with her nonmember
fiance with her, and they came to church on Sunday and met with Bishop. They are planning on getting married this Friday. Also, Tyrone is
already reading the Book of Mormon and is in Mosiah. And he loved
church. Also there was this family that we were teaching that the
parents can't get baptized yet cause there is a divorce issue there but
the kids Alfredo Jr., Damian, Florencio, and Isaiah really want to be
baptized and so we talked about it and the kids are going to be baptized
this Saturday. Alfredo Jr., the oldest brother, was a little more hesitant
than the others, but we asked him to kneel down and pray this weekend
and ask God what he needed to do, and Sunday he told us he had done that
and wanted to be baptized now! Its gonna be pretty awesome. But
probably the coolest thing that happened for me, was Saturday night we
went to one of the Spanish investigators house, Damaris, and she asked
for a blessing as she is trying to quit smoking. Then her member mom
asked for a blessing and I was able to give her a blessing, but
when I was starting it I couldn't think of how to say it in English. The
only thing I could think of was en "el nombre de Jesucristo" and then I just kinda kept going. There were some things I knew I was saying
wrong, but I just couldn't remember exactly how to say what I wanted, so
I just did the best I could. Then I got to a point where I really just
didn't know how to say what I wanted to say in Spanish, so I just said
it in English, but as I was saying it I just knew that she understood it
anyways. I felt something helping me to know that she really did
understand it. She knew what I was meaning even though it wasn't in her
language. That was definitely a miracle for me to be able to be a part
of. So we have a lot of great things going on here in Maryvale! The
Lord is definitely hastening His work, and we have an opportunity to be
a part of it!
I hope everyone is doing well back home! Take care and God bless!
Love ya,
Elder Hiatt
