I don't have a ton of time to write today. We went to Baños this morning as a zone and on the way back we missed our city...so we got back a bit late. Haha! But all is well! Baños was GORGEOUS! Pictures coming next week. We went to this amazing waterfall and got soaking wet. It was great.
Wow. So many miracles again this week and not enough time to write. I will share just one.
So I mentioned earlier Ania, the Ukrainian with two little boys. Well we taught her again and were in the process of seeing if we could order a Book of Mormon in her language. We asked the assistants and they said we wouldn't be able to! We were pretty sad. But then when we had our leaders reviewing our area book during a meeting we were explaining the situation of Ania and one of our zone leaders overheard and asked where she was from. Turns out on his third day in the mission he found a Book of Mormon in Ukrainian in his house. He didn't know why but he felt like he needed to take it with him to his next area. He was going to leave it there but he felt like he needed to take it again. This happened every single time and he is towards the end of his mission. He didn't know why or who it was for but know he does! We were so excited! What are the chances of that! It was a complete miracle.
The only downside to this story is that we had an appointment to see Ania tonight and give her the book. She texted us this afternoon and basically dropped us. We aren't completely sure why. But as we have learned a lot this week, people have their agency. We can do all that we can, teaching with the spirit, and they can even see several miracles, but they still have their agency.
This story is only a fraction of what I experienced this week with this concept. I think I truly experienced a fraction of the broken heart the Savior has when we choose not to follow Him. Its been hard. But it only motivates me more to work harder and find those who are ready to follow Him.
We have two miracle baptisms this Saturday and I cant wait to tell you all about them!
Thanks for all of the prayers! Keep on keeping the fait! Its worth it!
Con mucho amor,
Hermana B
