What a week.. We had MLC Thursday in San Antonio. It was incredible. We discussed the Knowledge of God and the Atonement. I am so thankful for this gospel! My mission has changed me. I wouldn't trade this time for anything.
We had lots of appointments fall through this week, but we saw many tender mercies from the Lord..
-The Banda's had a non member move in with them, and we are going by this week to teach her.
-La Familia Soto is a part member family, the mom was baptized 10 years ago and hasn't been active for over 8 years. We stopped by as they were leaving, they gave us water and invited us back to have a lesson with them for Wednesday, the whole family!
-Antonio and his family are in the process of moving, but are still going to be living in our area. He accepted a baptismal date for the 26th of July!
-Rocio and Genesis brought another non-memeber to church yesterday! Genesis' 14 year old cousin. We have a lesson tonight with her mom and all of them at Rocio's.
One of the biggest tender mercies we saw this week was on Tuesday.. Our investigator, Karen, the one that got married a few weeks ago by our bishop.. she moved to Houston. She called us when she got there and said "Hermana's.. who's going to baptize me here?" We gave her address to the mission office and they sent the missionaries to see her. On Wednedsay morning, we got a call from the sister missionaries in Houston. We told them about Karen, where she was with the lessons, etc. At the end of the conversation, they asked our names and we said "Hermana Clark and Hermana Egbert." They responded.. "Hermana Egbert, where are you from?" .. "Sandy, UT".. "No way!! This is Sami Draper- I mean Sister Draper!" We both got so excited!! I went to Brighton with Sami. We had seminary together and were in the MTC together. She's now teaching Karen! Karen called us after the lesson and said "Hermanas! I'm getting baptized on the 26th of July!" I was overwhelmed with joy and comfort :) How neat is that?!
We didn't do much for the Fourth of July. Most of the Hispanics here dont celebrate it, so we were able to teach all day. Hermana Clark and I listened to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in the car as we sang the star spangled banner :)
Last night we went to President's home to plan zone conferences. We drove home from San Antonio this morning and are going back tonight. We'll come home Tuesday evening, give trainings in our own zone meeting, then head back to San Antonio to meet up with President and the other assistants and STLL's then head to the border. We will be back in Austin Friday night. I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to be able to travel throughout the mission and work so closely with President Slaughter. I pray that the Lord will make me an instrument in His hands and use me to bless the lives of others.
I love the Lord. I love the Gospel. The Book of Mormon is true.
Have a great week!! I love y'all!!! Que Dios les bendiga!
Con mucho amor,
Hermana Egbert
