Sister Kassidy Walstad: June 17, 2019

I had so many things I wanted to say in this email and have forgotten all of it during the week. But I’ll try and remember the key points:)

This week we had another division and we faced some hard-core rejection. But it's so cool how after the negative, God gives us a positive to remind us why we're here:) I was working with Sister Rodriguez, and after what seemed like a million "No’s" we found a really cool "yes." He was in front of another church and he stopped us to ask if we knew when it was going to open. We invited him to the Church of Jesus Christ instead, and he accepted:) It was very cool!

Next cool thing, sad, but kind of cool... we had re-planned our day when it got dark and we felt bad about going up into one of the neighborhoods that was super far from home. Sister Maydana saw an old pesquisadora's house and said, "let's go visit Carina, and see how she's doing." So we headed over and knocked on the door, and a man answered. We asked if Carina was home and he just looked down, shook his head, and answered, "unfortunately... Carina passed away two weeks ago." We could not believe what we had just heard! We were able to give him a little “sneak peak” into the Plan of Salvation, and he just lightened up and thanked us for the visit. We are SET on changing his life. I mean we're going to help him let God change his life. :)

I am constantly learning that the spirit works in very interesting ways and I am hoping that I will understand better and better as I go through these last 6 months of the mission. I am loving the work here.
