You're gonna leave right now?? Part 2


Hola everyone!

Okay so this week was full of lots of lows but the highest of highs. We saw SO many miracles this week and my heart is just so full.

THE GOOD STUFF:
Okay so last week I talked a lot about Xiomara, we are teaching her and her daughters and when we first met her she made sure that we knew that she was Catholic. But after teaching the restoration last week she said she might be able to come to church. Me and my comp were sitting in church and the sacrament hymn had just started. I look up at the doors and I see Xiomara and her two daughters walk in the chapel. I have never been so happy! They came and sat down next to us. During the meeting she was wiping tears from her eyes and afterward she told us how much she and her daughters loved it. It is amazing to see how fast her heart opened up and how willing she is to act on the feelings that she had. We went back and taught them again that day and they said they want to come to a session of General Conference! 

We also had another littler miracle at church on Sunday. We have been teaching this girl named Noelia. She's 21 and she is amazing. We extended a baptismal date with her this week and she accepted! We went up to talk to her and her boyfriend Nicolas (who we have taught a few times with her and has been to church as well), after the meeting Nicolas looked at me and said that he wanted to be baptized too. I was a little thrown off at first but I got so happy and told him that is definitely something we can work towards!! They really love each other and want to be together. Soooo we are going to teach them about temples and temple marriage next week and wow I am just so excited :)

THE FUN STUFF:
So me and my comp were both really sick this week so (under the Presidents orders) we ended up staying in the house on Tuesday. Let me tell ya, staying in the house as a missionary is not fun. It did help a lot and we are feeling great now. But, we were in an appointment and it started POURING. Rain is how we got sick in the first place so we were a little worried. We had to go to the church so we decided we were just gonna run (It's a 15 minute walk). When we said we were going to leave, our cute investigator was like "You're going to leave right now??” And like always we said yes! Haha. She searched her house for an umbrella but the only thing she could find were plastic bags. A classic Dominican thing to do is to wear plastic bags on your head when it rains because they say that it prevents gripe. Sooooo that's what we did! We looked a little funny, us two Americans with bags on our heads running through the pouring rain but it was quite the adventure :) And we didn't get sick! I guess it really worked. 

Our bags for the rain haha

Don't forget to love like He does and NEVER give up!

Con amor,
Hermana Kmetzsch

This little (more like huge) guy was in our apartment.
He is in heaven now thanks to a broom and a stack of heavy books.

The Savior of the World

Hello everyone! This week was great! I picked up my new little greenie on Wednesday and she is the cutest! Her name is Hermana Kirkham and she's from South Jordan, Utah! She's super spunky and we are having a great time :) This weeks email is going to be a little bit different. I wanted to take this opportunity (because Christmas is this week) to share my Testimony of the Savior. I KNOW that He lives and that He loves us more than we could ever imagine. He doesn't only love us but He knows us personally. Whenever we feel lost or like we just can't go on, He is there to strengthen us and to not only walk beside us, but to carry us. He is in every detail of our lives. All we have to do is look for Him. I KNOW that He atoned for our sins and He sacrificed so that one day we can live again and that death is not the end.   We are not alone. Our Savior, Our Redeemer, The Prince of Peace, The Bread of Life, The Great Shepherd and was born on Christmas day to save us, to...

Hola everyone!  This week was awesome! We had zone conference with two members of the 70 who were doing a mission tour this week! Elder Alverado is actually speaking in conference in October and he is AWESOME so I encourage you all to pay special attention to him.  Zone Conference THE GOOD STUFF: So this week we had zone conference and boy was it amazing. We had two members of the 70 there and spoke to us. Elder Alverado talked about the gathering of Israel and how it is the most important work on the earth. We really are in a time where we are preparing for Christ to come. It's a cool experience to be completely immersed and dedicated to this gathering and this work. A scripture that we have been using a lot this week is in 2 Nephi 26:33. It says:   33  For none of these iniquities come of the Lord; for he doeth that which is good among the children of men; and he doeth nothing save it be plain unto the children of men; and he  a inviteth ...

Hola everyone!  This week was crazy and full of miracles! I also hit 6 months so that is just crazy sauce. Time is flying by and I just can't keep up!  THE GOOD STUFF: So. Gary. We went back to his house after the tithing lesson and he said that he feels so good and he just can't wait for Saturday to come! I have never met anyone so prepared and ready for the gospel. He said that he knows how much his life is going to change but how he is willing to give up everything because the changes he is going to make are worth far more than anything else.  We also have a new friend we are teaching named Carlos. He is 21 and speaks English! He is so interested in the gospel and really was looking for the truth when we found him. We gave him a Book of Mormon this week and he told us that he was going to read the whole thing as fast as he could cause he just wants to know if its true for himself.  I am realizing the importance of putting the gospel first ...
