All you need is a Mustard Seed: Teach When You Find, Find When You Teach!

This week was really amazing! The Lord is so kind to us. I see this every week, but He just blesses us with so many miracles day after day. It really increases my testimony that He knows His children perfectly and He loves us more than we'll ever really know. I'm so happy to have the testimony I do and the ability to share it.

This week we had a HUGE miracle with Norma and her husband Luis. We had been teaching them for a while ... about 2 months ago. Last week, on Saturday, we felt prompted to invite them to church and they came. And apparently they knew another member of the ward, Hermana Poa, from years back. She was friends with them before they lost their daughter at the age of 17. So when Norma and Luis surprisingly saw them, they freaked out and hugged and Luis was crying so much. Well, after the reunion, we planned a dinner with them in Hermana Poa's home and it was incredible. They talked about her daughter and the memories they had together. They cried a lot and we cried, too. Norma really wants to take her daughter to the temple to be baptized. She wants to be baptized on the 26th, but we can tell she's still hesitant. Her husband was really against it at first, but at Hermana Poa's house, he said that he'll support her in all she does! Awesome miracle!

I returned to Friendswood today and, oh boy, it's been one of the best days. We had lunch with John and Savannah, Fern, Sister Schott and my old companion, who I trained when she first got here. It was all so incredible. God is so good. John is so active. He's still a ward missionary and the high priest teacher! Savannah is still in Primary. She's a future missionary and just incredible. John went on trek last week and took a lot pictures! Fern is planning on going to the temple on the 30th and taking names! Jacob is planning on serving a mission! HOW COOL IS THAT!? Jade is active in the church again and everyone else is amazing!

My mission has been the most amazing experience of my whole life. I have loved these 18 months with my whole heart and I'll work, work, WORK until the last day.

Russhine is doing AMAZING. She loves, loves, loves her calling and she's so active in the church. Yesterday she came with her son, who is not a member and he loved church, too. She's coming out with us to teach! Actually, Norma lives in her complex, along with another investigator we're teaching. They all became really good friends and they set up a time to all go and meet at Russhine's house to practice their English! How cool is that!?

Also, Carlos, Brian and Carol came to the investigator devotional last night and they loved it. Brian is 12 and he was answering ALL the questions about Joseph Smith! Ha, ha. President Hall was so shocked. Jorge came, too! They're doing so well. Please pray for them. They're making big steps in their lives!

Well, amazing week! Great things happening. So many blessings. So much gratitude.

I love y'all,

Hermana Sanchez
