cold hands

Hola hola buenos días!!

With Thanksgiving coming up, I feel like a gratitude email is in order. It's been amazing to see how truly blessed I have been to be able to serve the Lord once again here in Texas. ❤ It's been HARD but worth it. I am so grateful for my companion, Hermana Young (you the real MVP), the book of Mormon, my family  and warm showers:) also super grateful for the keyboard that we have here in our apartment and that I am relearning how to play the piano!! 

A HUGE miracle we saw this week was receiving a referral from Hermana Giron, the grandma of Valeria who just moved here from Honduras. Her name is Fatima and wow. We taught her the restoration and she had SO many questions! We went back later on Friday to teach her about the Book of Mormon, and she committed to read It! Hermana Giron was able to share her conversion experience and it was so touching. The Spirit was so strong! Pray for her that her heart will be softened to the gospel. 

So remember how we had a few awesome families and an investigator that was waiting for us on her porch last week? Well, we found out this week that they aren't in our ward anymore :( so that was a bummer, but we are having pass of lessons to the other missionries and praying for the best!! 

We had the ward Thanksgiving party this week, which was slightly the weirdest and best thing ever all at the same time. It was kinda funny to have turkey, stuffing and gravy on one side of the plate and then elote on the other side! I def missed mom's yams though. We had a few investigators come to the dinner, which was a huge miracle! 

Funny story: Hermana Young is the ward pianist, and she got asked to play at the ward baptism for the three 8 year olds that got baptized on Saturday and so naturally I got asked to lead the music, and they totally put me down as "Hermana Miller" lol I guess It happens when we are all gringas in a Spanish ward, they mix us up! 

We are working with a less active who is engaged to a non member. She is amazing and is pregnant, but opened up to us about how much she wants to change her life! Her fiance is really awesome and she is totally wanting to have the gospel be a part of their lives. Her faith is unshakable! 

Hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving and eat lots of turkey and go into turkeycoma for me ;) I know my Savior lives and I am learning so much for about him and his plan for me ❤
