Time is Running Out

Heyyyy everyone

I hope you are all doing good!! 

I didn't send an email last week sorry about that. But these last two weeks have been super good!! We have seen the Lord's hand and his timing in everything. 

We were walking up a street trying to talk to everyone and then this mom and son stopped us and offered us some empanadas. My companion bought one and then we talked to them about the church! We had a visit with them a little bit after and they told us they NEVER walk down that one street but for whatever reason decided to walk down it. So that's cool. We are really hoping we can help them come to church. 

We got a referral from the bishop’s wife. Her name is Abigail. Somehow Abigail was talking to the missionaries 2 years ago but never had time to go to church. And then somehow found the bishop’s wife's number. She has come the last 2 Sundays and is super ready. She told us she had already received her answer about the Book of Mormón and the church. So cool. 

Here are some song lyrics that I have been thinking about for 2 weeks. 

If grace is a kingdom
I’ve stopped at the gate
Thinking I don’t deserve to pass through after all of the mistakes I’ve made

I really like the image these lines put in my head. I can imagine myself standing in front of a great big kingdom and saying that I don't deserve to enter because of my faults. But that is simply not true. Grace is a gift for everyone. But we have to make the decision to use it or not. We have to take the steps to enter the kingdom. And the last few lines I really like too. 

Grace is a kingdom
With gates open wide
There’s a seat at the table just waiting for you
So, come on inside

I love you all!
Be happy :)
