Soy Pro -Hermana Herrera

My pobrecita companion has been sick for a while and this last tuesday we went to the hospital to figure out what the problem was. 

I decided that even though I am starting off my week not the way I wanted and not working in my area, I WILL STILL TALK TO EVERYONE!!! I can't think of a better/more needed place to share God's love than in a hospital. I prayed that those who need to be seen and heard could be put in our path. God blessed me with MANY opportunities to have beautiful conversations about Him and His love for us.

While waiting for my companion to get her tests done, I started to talk to a woman who's grand-daughter (8 months old and is just the chunkiest little bean) has leg problems and will most likely not be able to walk. I asked her about her religious beliefs and she bore such beautiful testimony of God's plan and the power of families. She gave me such hope that in any trial, there is always light and growth.

Alma 36:3

Whosever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day. 

I then was stopped by a man who grew up in our church, but after his grandfather passed away, he stopped attending. He told me he saw missionaries recently and wants to come back to church but doesn't know how. He told me he missed the peace he felt when he came to church. We helped him get in contact with missionaries that live in his neighborhood. My new Venezuelan friend gave me such excitement and gratitude for the refuge we have every Sunday. 

Moroni 6:5

And the church did meet together oft, to fast and to pray, and to speak one with another concerning the welfare of their souls. 

I was able to talk to a lot more people while waiting in the hospital and traveling from and back home, but I finished the day with SO much love and energy in my heart. Every single person I talked to that day was facing or had faced some sort of big trial, yet each of them decided to come closer to God and search for His power. 

Though we live in a world where there is a lot of bad, there is also SO MUCH GOOD!!!
