Oi!
Sorry it took so long today to write, we had a lot to do today. I loved being
able to see you all yesterday on Skype! You all look so great and I was so
happy to hear all about the things that are happening at home. I loved being
able to see my brother open his mission call. What a special moment it was for me to
witness. He will bless so many lives with his humor and powerful spirit. I feel
so lucky that I will be able to see him off and help him prepare for the temple
and mission. I was hoping I could. It's gunna be awesome to spend time with him
before he leaves! I love you G.B. and Happy Birthday tomorrow! I will
always be so grateful that Heavenly Father sent me my cute little brother 18
years ago. You are so special to me.
This
week started off amazing with us finding and teaching new people. We see
miracles every day and it's been super fun opening the area together. I love my
companion. She really is the best companion I've ever had. But the week ended
with me being super sick with the flu and a high fever....which wasn't fun at
all. I could hardly move I was in so much pain. But like all trials, I learned
so much. Patience in the Lords timing is so key to our lives being what He
wants them to be. But all is well now. (Sorry I didn't take any pics this week
as you can imagine). But the week ended so well with me getting to call you all
and with a phone call that I got from the zone leader. He said "Sister Porter,
I have some news for you.....your area in Uruguaiana is going to be baptizing 5
people this Saturday!!" I about died. He continued, "I asked the zone
leader there how this happened and he mentioned you and how you taught a
family. Well,,, they are going to be baptized on Saturday! Congrats for the
work you did there Sister Porter!" Ahhh I literally burst into tears. The
family of C. were baptized on Saturday and I couldn't be more happy. The
kids needed to go to church for 3 months straight in order to be baptized (it's
mission rules) and they were strong and always came! This work is really
amazing. I know that the spirit lead us to that family. I am so grateful that Heavenly
Father allowed us to find them and teach them. There are no words to describe
the happiness that comes to my heart when families are baptized. Generations
change!! It's so amazing. I know this is His work. I love him. He is my master.
I know that through Him all things are possible.
