Wahoozers!!! I didn't have transfers and I get to stay here in Peñasco with the Hermana Riquelme!! She is awesome, and I have such confidence in her that today.... she cut my hair! I almost never let someone touch my hair, but with a prayer in my heart, and some random sewing scissors that good old Grandma Olga gave me, she cut my hair, and it turned out pretty well! hahhaha
I am stoked to stay here in Peñasco. I learn something new in every area that I am in. The other Sunday I got a call from an investigator in Hermosillo, and he told me that his brother got baptized the 21 of April and that he is going to get baptized the 25 of June! He was so happy to call me and tell me, because when I was teaching him he knew everything, but said he wasn't going to get baptized. But this is the amazing thing, that God always has a plan, that in His timing, He changes lives and eternidades. Sometimes we just have to plant the seed and have faith that God knows what He is doing!!
My time here in Peñasco has been amazing. We have so many incredible experiences everyday!! The most amazing thing is when we start lessons and the first thing we teach is that God is our Heavenly Father, and that He loves us. And Then I feel so much love for this person that I don't even know, and I can look them in the eyes and testify that God loves them personally and knows them personally. And I am pathetically almost crying because I feel so much love for this stranger just to tell them and remind them that Heavenly Father loves them. It is something amazing to think what it really means that: YOU ARE A CHILD OF HEAVENLY FATHER!
Because we say this a lot, but do we really understand what that means, and that if we understand this, we have the power to do ALL things?! WOW! Sometimes thinking about this hits me so hard, it is something SO amazing!
Love you all tons! Muahug! Did you catch it??
Oceans of love,
Hermana Barton
