We are Given Trials..


Well this week has been straight crazy! Lots of good things and bad things have happened in this past week. So last week was transfers and we got two more missionary's in Nagua. They are really cool guys, one is from Brigham City and the other is a newbie from Arizona. I am really glad that they both speak English because its really nice to have good deep talks with them. It has been a little hard to fit them in our house because it is technically a two person house. 

This week lots of crap happened in the house..... First our fridge went out and the office wont be able to give us one until next Wednesday. Then the power has been going out a ton ( the reason I am writing this so late). Then we have been infested with mosquito's,spiders and mice this week. And the struggle goes on... but anyways something super sad happened this past week. So we have an investigator who is more than ready to get baptized but the problem is that he needs to be married to his girlfriend who  he has been with for twenty years. She was married to another dude who left to the states and never came back. So to get married they need like 60000 pesos to pay for a divorce. Well this past Sunday at church they said that their prayers have been answered because they found a guy who could do the divorce for only 7000 pesos (like $180). This was wonderful news! But something always happens... This past Tuesday we got a call from Leonardo saying that his son was sick in the hospital. We wanted to go visit them later that night. Then about 30 minutes later we got another call from Leonardo. He told us that his son Moroni had died. Moroni was 22 and suffered from sickle-cell disease. This was devastating news. That night we went to the house to help comfort the family. They had the viewing that night and the funeral was the next morning because they don't do anything to preserve the body. It just made me really think about our Heavenly Fathers plan for us, and that we really can be with our families for the rest of eternity. We are so blessed to have this knowledge in our lives. I love my family so dang much and am so excited to spend forever with them. I love my mission and am so grateful for all of the lessons it is teaching me about life. I love you allz!!
