Bendiciones- Week 31

Hey everyone! I hope all is going well back at home. I'm definitely grateful for all of your examples for me. It had been super fun to be in a trio and to be double training. It's kinda weird but for the most part it's great. 

So basically all of the things that we have scheduled regularly every week like sports night, Bible class, and English class all got canceled or nobody showed up this last week. But we were able to stop by a less active family Paco and Claudia and they were both actually home! It was great to be able to talk to both of them and I think we were supposed to talk to them at that time so I'm sad we had to cancel some of the things we regularly have planned but we definitely recieved lots of blessings.

We got to go down to Milwaukee so that we could pick up our new companion and his name is Elder Dowdle! He's from Oregon and loves tennis. He also went to the Mexico City MTC so I told him that he missed my brother there by about 9 weeks haha! It is always a good time getting to talk about my family. Also I was able to see Elder Freeman and the others that were here in Janesville my first transfer here so we definitely had to take a picture! It was super fun to see them. 

One night we went to go visit this guy named Antonio and he wasn't home so we were just on our way back to the car and we had a thought to go back and knock on one of his neighbors doors. We knocked and sat there for a little bit and knocked again and then the door opened and we were able to introduce ourselves and she said that she would be interested in hearing our message! When we listen to the promptings we recieve we are so blessed! 

Matthew 9:20 - And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years... 

Mark 5:25-26 - And a certain woman, 2hich had an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse. 

Luke 8:43 - And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any. 

This lady in the Bible had been living 12 years of her life miserably because of the disease that she had with her blood. She spent all of her money, all of her living, everything she had to be healed from going to doctors and trying all different things. But she wasn't being healed, it was actually getting worse. 

Matthew 9:20-22 - She came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort;they faith hath made thee whole. And the woman has made whole from that hour. 

Mark 5:27-34 - When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague... And he said unto her, Daughter, they faith hath made thee whole; to in peace, and be whole of the plague. 

Luke 8:44-48 - She came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood was stanched... And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: they faith hath made thee whole; go in peace. 

She had a sickness that took everything away from her. But through all this and through her trials she had enough faith to not only think that Jesus might be able to help her she knew with all her heart, might, mind, and strength that even if she could just reach out and touch his clothes that she could be saved. I promise that we can all be blessed through our faith if we do our part and reach out to our Savior, Jesus Christ. 

Thank you for all you do for me! I love you all.

DO GOOD, BE GOOD
