Heaven Cheered

Two people who I love so much, opened the doors to heaven this week. It was such a special day. Filled the font, set up the chairs, decorated, & then it was time. Yanira & Nahuel showed up. They were so happy. We sang The Spirit of God, the spirit came flooding in. Listened to a beautiful message & then made our way to the other room. Nahuel first. As Rodrigo began, tears started to flow into my eyes. To think of the change of his life, the happiness this brings, & all his family whose lives change as well. I couldn’t help it. He came out of the water so joyous, basically jumped out. Then gave Rodrigo such a big hug. Then Yanira, oh boy, emotional. Rodrigo baptizing his sister who finally accepted the gospel. Such a moment of peace & happiness. It really just felt like heaven was cheering.

I loved each & every second I had in the Necochea branch. They have half of my heart. This week we received transfer news. I got transferred to the other branch that touches my other area. So I'm still in Necochea just in an area called Centro! My companion is Hermana Celada!! She is from Rosario, Argentina!! I was given the opportunity to be a sister training leader & so I get to spend a lot of time with the sisters & help them with whatever they need. I feel blessed. I will still be with Hermana Manayay in divisions. She is the silliest there is. You all know it started out rough with her, but the Lord knew I needed her. She is so special. I loved to see her grow her testimony. To get over fears. To become more like Jesus in all that she says & does. The gospel of Jesus Christ changes people. I love her.

As I said goodbye to those people, it was sad. I told Thiago & tears filled his eyes. This little kid & all his siblings are my joy. I look at them & see light. I will remember them my whole life. Their baptism day was one full of the spirit & one that changed everything around for the family. My goodbyes were filled with Romero's. It was for sure part of the plan to help many of them come unto the gospel whether for the first time, the second time, or to stay. Oh how blessed I feel to be a missionary. To see the impact that this gospel truly makes in people's lives. I am so grateful for families. For the chance that we have to live with them together forever & ever. I am so grateful for all the people that I met for this past 4 months in that area. My time there was beautiful.

I have the happiest news. In my other email I spoke of Karina. How she didn't come to church. A little bit after I sent my email, we got a voice message from her. She said, "Sister's, I was wrong, please forgive me." She had an experience through another person that helped her realize that all that was being put into her mind, all that she was seeing, was not from God but from Satan. She realized that she was left feeling darkened. She said, "I know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ & it is beautiful, the people are beautiful." I tell you, I sobbed. So much time, stressing about what we can do to help her, praying for an answer, passing by her house, texting, trying to send others to her house too. But God is in control. She needed that moment as testimony. We could have said everything perfectly but what she needed was that person, right in the moment.

So, be that person. Follow the spirit. However small it may be. It could turn someone's whole life around. I am working on this too. It's a focus I have. Trying to learn how the spirit works in my life. It takes practice. It takes faith. But I know that we can. So let's do this.

Oh how joyful I am. How much I love you & miss you.

With all my heart,

Hermana Morley <3
