August 29, 2016

Honestly, I think that praying with real intent is one of the hardest things that we can do. Because a lot of the times we pray with real intent... IF it aligns with our own plans. And when it doesn't, we get discouraged or decide to not do follow through. Praying with focus is also a hard part. Really concentrating on the prayer. But I can tell you that it truly does work! I will be praying for you, too!
We had stake conference this weekend and on Sunday one of the speakers was talking about fasting. He was saying that he LOVES food. And there was one time that God taught him a lesson. He fasted on fast Sunday like normal. And right when he finished breaking his fast, he got a call from his daughter asking him to fast for her for a test. And he said that he didn't really want to but thought about it and started another fast. And then when he ended this fast, he got another call from a daughter that wanted to fast for a different reason and she wanted him to fast with her. He said that it was interesting to see how the Lord can use fasting to help us. So, mom, it might also help to fast (or fast again) for this.
This week we visited with a lot of people. We are teaching right now an older couple. The husband is catholic, and the wife is cristiana. They both are really receptive, and really nice and sweet people. And it is a little funny when the husband doesn't understand what I am saying because then the wife will start teaching him for us. There is also an inactive brother that we visit. With him it is always a little interesting. He is living all alone, which is really sad, because he also can't walk very well. But he always is happy and loves talking with us. 
On Tuesday, we had an insane rain storm. It lasted for about and hour and a half, and after the streets were completely flooded and we had to walk home without our shoes on because we needed our shoes to be dry for the next day. This week I also went back to Juarez for a checkup just to see if the medicines they gave me are working and all that. The doctor said that I have a stress fracture, but it should get better
