Hey y'all! I hope this past week was good for you! This week was filled with lots of things for me! We had a lesson with our friend Carla this week again and she is officially on date for baptism! We are so excited for her. One of the best things you see as a missionary is the lives of people having a whole 360 because of their desire to change and follow Christ!
We visited a few less active members this week! One was Hermana Serpa (STORY TIME) Hermana Ramirez told us about her and so us 3 went over and visited with her. She is a little old lady from Cuba and talks way fast Sister Watson and I could barely understand! (Good this Hermana Ramirez was there) This week was our week to go to the Centerville ward and while we were greeting people, Hermana Serpa and her granddaughter walked in! We were SO SURPRISED! One reason is because its the English ward and two is because we didn't know! She brought her granddaughter and she told us that they would go to this ward when her granddaughter was younger! Hermana Serpa doesn't speak any English though so were were a little shocked. She loved it though and after so many people came up and and said hi! She told us after sacrament how she needs to have us over for dinner to make us Cuban food and that next Sunday she will be at the Stone Mountain Ward!
We also went and visited Hermana Gonzales, she is the sweetest lady. She told us some people she knows from the Stone Mountain Ward and this next week we are going over with Hermana Castillo(a member who she knows well) Hermana Castillo was SO HAPPY when we told her about Hermana Gonzales! We think it will be really good!
This week we had the opportunity to find a new person! We gets lots of referrals every day but usually are for English class so we will tell them about our group class. We were stoked when we saw that a man, Luis wanted to learn about the church. We gave him a call to get to know him and he is super cool. He has been through a lot in his life but he wants a change for himself and for his family. When we were talking with him we ended with sharing a scripture in Isaiah 53:3-5;
"He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed"
This scripture is so powerful to me. Jesus Christ was rejected, despised, felt grief and pain, betrayed, wounded and died on the cross for each and every one of us, because he loves us. He knows how we feel when we are low and he knows how to carry us. He also knows how we feel when we are filled with joy and happiness. He gave his life so we can have eternal life and repent daily. A perfect man gave his life for imperfect people. I know that Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ love us all so much. I know that there isn't anything that can stop Their love from us. I hope that you all will continue to put Christ first in your lives and allow his atonement to heal! I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!!
Love, Sister Worley
