Feliz Cumpleanos: Gary Walker!!
Hello family!
Well, this week was a good one.
I went on exchanges with Hermana Pearson from the CCM, that was just so fun!
This week, I wanted to share a sweet experience that happened. We were
at the Martinez familia, they are less active and they are awesome.
They also like to feed us crazy foods, but we love them. This
particular day we went in the house and the Hermana told us to come
in, and watch her cook, so for about 20 minutes we watched her prepare
how she cooks fish. It was interesting, as we saw her slab mayonnaise
all over and inside the fish, put on some chile, tomato, and salsa,
wrapped it up in some tinfoil and threw it into the oven. Well, after
that, they fed us some pork, and rice, and salsa, and some tortillas.
After we had eaten we had a feeling we needed to show them a little
Mormon message called Moments that Matter Most. After the video the
Hermano started to cry. He explained to us and said, "this made me
reflect Hermanas. There have been times where I have been wrong as a
parent. There are times when I have felt like I have tried my best as
a parent, but their are times where I was wrong." He explained to us
that in Mexico it's very common to hit your children, he told us some
stories and just said, "I was wrong a lot of times..." Tears were just
streaming down his face, and we were able to tell him and testify to
him how we all make mistakes, and that's why we have a Savior. We also
explained and testified how we are all here on this path, trying to be
better together, trying to lift each other up. We told him that
anywhere in the world there are hypocrites, and liars, but as long as
we know we are doing our part, The Lord will help us. They loved it.
It was a little bold, but you can never be too bold if you show love
after.
This week we also have heart attacked a lot of our members. We couldn't
do them all, because we just didn't have time, but we did a lot. They
were grateful and loved the surprise.
I am learning so much, about how this gospel helps people know who
they truly are. It helps them have self worth. Why? Why is that?
Because the gospel tells us WHO WE WERE before this life. It tells us
what kind of people we were before we were sent down here. We are down
here, because we were the generals, captains, and front lined soldiers
in the war before this life. Heavenly Father saved us at this time,
and put us in the families he did at this time, so we could do once
again what we did back then. So I ask you, are you being that person
you were? Even more, I hope your being even better.
It's been a good Semana. Sorry I would write more, but that's all that
time permits. I love you all!
