Hna. Ferreras and I are getting along REALLY well. We really are meant to be companions. Every day my testimony of that is strengthened as I see how well we get along and the experiences that we are having with meeting people on the street and the lessons we are teaching.
This past week I received a new companion--a mini missionary from here in El Salvador. She was originally going to go to her mission in Guatemala on the 28th of May, but.....her stepfather was drunk and she had an accident, so spent a week in the hospital. She obviously can't return to her home with that situation, so she'll be with us for three weeks. It's been a little difficult because she hasn't been the CCM and doesn't have any training whatsoever, but we've been working with her and she's improving little by little.
Then, on Friday.....we received another companion! From El Salvador who is finishing her mission here. She had been serving in Ciudad de Obregon, Mèxico (Kallie, does your roommate know her???) and had some health problems so she came to finish her mission in her paìs. So now there's four of us in our area. Apparently I'm in charge of everyone, buuuuuut I don't know the area too well. So I'm just going to trust that the Lord will help us A LOT.
A lot of miracles happened these past couple of days, but I don't have too much time, so I'll just share an experience I had yesterday.
Yesterday was amazing! Hna. Ferreras and I were in the exact places that we needed to be in the exact moment that we were needed. That happened the entire day, too--not just for only one of our lessons. One of the experiences that I want to share however is about a lesson we had with a certain family yesterday. There were all sorts of miracles that we were seeing with this lesson, but afterwards I was talking with Hna. Ferreras as we were walking to another cita we had programmed. In this lesson, the people asked us SO many questions about different aspects of the gospel. Questions I have NEVER heard before, questions that truly test your testimony. I told Hna. Ferreras that I know I really need to be in this area because in Miramonte II, the lessons we had weren't like that. I feel like the lessons we had in my first two changes were lessons to help me learn and be able to understand the language. Now, the lessons are going to help me strengthen my testimony. So as I was telling her about this, I started to tell her that I know that BOTH of us are supposed to be companions and that we're supposed to be in this area and in that exact moment, I happened to look down on the sidewalk and there was the name of Hna. Ferreras! Engraved in the sidewalk! It was so bizarre, but I know without a shadow of a doubt that we're both supposed to be in this area. It was just.....I can't explain it.
This mission has been incredible. Every day my testimony is being strengthened and every day El Salvador is taking another piece of my heart. I'm seeing miracles both here in this country and also with my family back home. I hope y'all are learning to trust in the Lord and looking for the miracles that God blesses us with every day. Proverbios 3:5-6 just came to my mind! I know that those words are true. God will direct our paths. I'm living proof of that. If we trust Him withevery aspect of our lives, we will never need to doubt if we are where we are supposed to be.
Thank you for all that you do and for all of your love and support. I love all y'all and am praying that everything is going well. Keep saying your prayers and study the talks from General Conference! :D
Love Always,
Hermana McCulloch
