Coffee


Hello everyone! 

This week was a hard week but also a week full of miracles! The Lord really does work in mysterious ways. 

THE GOOD STUFF:
So we are teaching a woman named Ana right now. We went last week and taught her about the word of wisdom. She agreed with almost everything we taught, but she wasn't too happy about the fact that we don't drink coffee. She said that she LOVES coffee and that she's been drinking it every day since she was a little girl. We talked about how we can work with her and help her to overcome it. She said that she would try "poco a poco" or "little by little" but she didn't seem too happy.  
We were bummed but she said she would try so we decided to make her a "Coffee Calendar." We had a box for everyday and how many cups she could drink and we planned it out so she could leave it gradually and all that jazz and we felt pretty good about it. So the next appointment we went to her house with our coffee calendar and we were all ready to show her our plan. We started the lesson and I asked her how her coffee drinking is going. She got super excited and then told me "I don't drink coffee anymore! I hid my coffee pot and threw away all my coffee packets. I know that it's bad for me and I am not going to drink it anymore!" 
It was such a miracle! I thought it was going to be such a process to help her out but the Lord works in mysterious ways. When we do our part and show him our plan he will provide a way. Even if it isn't the plan we had originally :) 

THE FUN STUFF:
Okay so yesterday we had quite the adventure... we were leaving our apartment and we had shut and locked the door, the gate on the door and we had walked out of the gate/door to the apartment place, so all was closed, and then it started to rain a little and so we decided to go back to get the umbrella. This is when we realized that my comp had left the keys in the house.... This wasn't a huge problem because I had extra keys to the house, we just needed to get into the apartment place. So we called a few people and eventually we got in. We walked up to our door, opened the gate and then when we tried to open the door the key wouldn't work... So we tried forever, said lots of prayers and nothing. Long story short, we called a member of the bishopric and he ended up coming over with some guys from the other ward and they tried everything. We could see the keys from the front window but we just couldn't reach them. After many attempts and lots of broomsticks being tied together, hitting the door handle, using a credit card and many more attempts, we found a giant pipe, attached some wires and somehow managed to knock the keys off of the desk and drag them to the window.. SO grateful for the people that helped us and really the lord always answers our prayers, even if it is in a very mysterious way.

Con mucho amor,
Hermana Kmetzsch

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 ...
