How Great Thou Art

brethern & sisteren

what a week. st8 up .

me and sister Botchway were on a emotional

roller coaster. 

Lets start off with the bad i guess. well its all good... 

eventually.. haha 

it was like sister Botchways 4th day here and i really wanted

her to meet some pretty sweet neighbors we had started 

teaching so they invited us over for dinner as always 

and we were gonna follow up on their Book of Mormon read 

and then all of a sudden their like "listen we are never gonna be 

mormon" UMMM CAN I FINISH MY CHICKEN FIRST? 

poor sister Botchway. it was like they planned to just str8 up 

go HAM on us and tell us that they wont convert & dont 

want to feel "pushed" and that they dont think that 2 

weeks at the MTC is enough for anyone to go around 

preaching the Gospel. me and sister botchway sat there and 

took it. Stephanie wanted to come out... & tell her to stop.. 

But the spirit told sister Sosa to sit there and listen. 

oh boy... This family is seriously the sweetest family... 

always having us over always feeding us always asking us to 

teach them about what we believe... and then one day 

out of nowhere. they just let us have it.. NEXT

sooo on Friday.. The Elders decided to "give" us their 

appointment with the 'A' family & tell us they are borderline

baptism so we are like awesome maybe we can 

go sprinkle some sister missionary magic! 

first of all the Elders directions to the A FAMS house is 

"its in between the dairy queen and the enchilada place 

the yellow house and the right door" knock 3 times... ok ok 

i added the knock 3 times... but still. ridiculous... 

so we get there right.. already sketched out... and 

as soon as we get there.. the spirit is literally screaming 

at me to GET OUT. my throat got tight and i i eventually cannot 

feel it anymore.... ugh.. but we stay.. because its an appointment 

and everyone needs the Gospel. we walk in and its like a house party

ALMOST... J the mom introduces and her daughters their boyfriends and 

their kids... and people keep coming in and out of the house... J starts going through

all the missionaries shes been through and we find it really hard to start a 

conversation. and just when you think we are getting somewhere... J's cousin comes in 

and starts talking to us and by the way they are a Hispanic family i think that's 

why the Elders sent us the connection. 

and anyway F starts talking and starts going "i have alot of respect for you two ladies" 

and we are like finally someone in here who appreciates us .. but NOPE...

then out of nowhere he looks at Sister botchway and is like "a black mormon" 

"i cannot believe your religion was so desperate it started converting black people"

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

STEPHANIE WANTED TO COME OUT. 

Sister Sosa stayed calm and testified..... that we are a world wide church. and that we are growing... he wasnt having it... sigh.... i tried changing the subject... told him my middle name was fernanda then he told me we should get married ... Ok thats when i knew we needed to go. 

My heart literally broke... for those little girls in there who wanted us there who were so excited when we walked in.. i had the biggest knot in my throat and my stomach 

hurt so bad.... you bet we got ice cream.. 

some days are bad... 

But in these experiences Ive learned that There has to be persecution in all things. 

The mission wouldn't be a mission if everyone was like the W family. 

It wouldnt be stronger if i didnt experience at least a nano bit of what 

my savior experienced. Ive realized that he is at my right side. 

The greatest missionary of all time. Christ himself. 

I thank him for these moments.. now. because he trust me 

he trust me with these people , he knows i can take it. 

i can handle it. my emotions my heart. I can hold my tears back 

until i get to the car anyway..... my love for the savior grows everyday 

that im here because im beginning to learn what Gethsemane really is. 

What it really took. and what he did for me. for you for us. for the A family. 

for that. I wont give up on anyone. Just like he didn't give up on me. 

SISTERS, happy mothers day... i hope everyone got to relaXXX. i know
