Lunchables and identity theft

Dear Family,

 

Well there goes another great week! We had a lot of great lesson. The majority of our lessons this week were with less-actives. We have been focusing on them and the members to help build a stronger ward for the recent converts that will join. Stronger wards mean more effective missionary work. We have seen a lot of success from this so far. It's been great!

 

We had one really great lesson with the Llanas family. Maria and her 3 brothers, Maria is coming back to church now and she wants to be that good example for her brother as well. And we have helped her set a few goals to achieve what she really wants for her family, for her parents to get married and them to all be sealed together for eternity. I love being a missionary. :)

 

So these next few weeks Hna. Wilzbach is living on a short budget, something she is SUPER not used to. It's a little funny. She had to cancel her home card because someone tried to steal her identity! So as we talked about what to buy this week she was very stressed. Now, I'm not the best at budgeting but I have learned a bit here. Which I am super grateful for! But Hna. Wilzbach as resorted to lunchables and spaghetti-o's. I tried talking sense into her but that didn't happen... :)

 

Well family I love y'all so very much and I am so grateful that we have eternity to be a family! Be safe and be happy!

 

Love,

Hermana Florence

Birthday week

Dearest Family,

 

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MARYN AND BLAKE THIS WEEK!!!!!!!! I hope y'all got my birthday cards!

 

We had a really great week this week! I am super grateful for the miracles that I've seen this week. Heavenly Father has definitely been helping me out extra. We have been learning about being bold in lessons and what that means. I have noticed, through my scripture study this week, that there is a pattern of boldness that all of the prophets use. It's referred to as "plainness". I have been reading in Alma about Alma and Amulek as they are preaching in Ammonihah to the wicked people there. The people are angry with them because of how "plainly" they preach to them. There are people though that were prepared to harken unto the teaching of God, and they repented. The Spirit was able to touch their hearts more powerfully because of the simplicity of how they taught the doctrine of Christ. I was able to have a few really powerful lessons this week. We had a great one with the Llanas family. It was my Zeezrom experience. Jose, right after the opening prayer just started sweating bullets. And he just says, "Man, I guess I feel really guilty". We had a really powerful lesson about the Atonement and how he can be freed from his guilt. We had another lesson with Rosa Marrufo, we haven't taught her in a while, but we taught her a powerful restoration and she accepted a baptismal date! It's her time to change. She is more open to the Spirit. I love being a missionary and being able to help other come unto Christ through simplicity.

 

A super funny thing that happened this week! So Hna. Wilzbach has been reading the Book of Mormon a lot before bed, she is trying to finish within a set time. So this one night I get up to use the bathroom and I come back and get into bed, just about to fall asleep again and I hear, "Verily, verily, I need help!" Ha ha ha she should read less...

 

Well Family I love y'all so very much! I hope everyone has a great week!

 

Love,

Hermana Florence
