Hermana Lundy Willes: We had a super great week, full of miracles!

Skyping with Hermana Willes on Mothers Day.

The picture wasn't great--about ultrasound quality--but we'll take it!!

It was so good to see your faces yesterday! Mother's Day is the best!

So I'm training! Super crazy. My companion, Hermana Romero, is from Colombia and she is just the cutest thing in the whole wide world. I'm learning so much from her and I love her sooo much!

We had a super great week, full of miracles. On Tuesday, we called Daniella to make sure we could visit her. She told us "yes" and so we went to her house. I asked her how her prayers are going, and she said "Hermanas, I just had a really cool experience. I was praying to Heavenly Father this morning and then after I ended my prayer you guys called me! It was an answer to my prayers!" It was sooooo awesome. We committed her to baptism, the 31 of this month. She went to church on Sunday and she said she really liked it, so we'll see! She's incredible.

We also had a lesson with our new menos activo, Eustagcia. The Bishop went and visited her on Sunday and she was super happy about that. It was hilarious, because we had a lesson with her and her daughter and son and her niece and nephew. When the lesson finished she was like, "Hermanas, I can't go to church but they are all going to go to church on Sunday. And I want you to start teaching my husband and my sister-in-law!" We were like of course! And on Sunday when we went to recologer them, she told us she woke them all up super early so they wouldn't be late and that they aren't ever going to miss another Sunday! I love them so much, I know the Lord has prepared them for us!

We also had another really cool miracle. We have the goal to talk to every couple that we see and every family. So we were walking in the street on Friday and we saw this couple and contacted them. We went up and before we could really introduce ourselves the man said "I know who you are! You're mormons! I'm a member of your church!" Turns out he's a menos activo that was baptized in Argentina and has been less active for a long time, but he wants to come back. He looked at me and said "I have everything, a hymn book, a Book of Mormon, everything. I don't know why I don't go to church. I keep thinking I need to go back. But, why did you stop and talk to me? I always see missionaries from the church and from other churches, but they never stop and talk to me. Why did you talk to me?" I looked at him and told him it was because Heavenly Father loves him and wants him to come back. It was incredible. We have a visit with him tomorrow. I'm so excited!

I love being a missionary. It's the greatest thing I've ever done. I love the spirit I feel all the time. The Church is true and the Lord loves us all so much. More than we can even imagine. I can testify of that with all my heart. Have the best week!
