Forever Strong in the Work: We Found Cats!‏

(A/N: Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Here is the weekly email from Hermana Ramos-Escobar out on the mission field! I again, I would like to take the time to remind everyone that Hermana Ramos-Escobar is NOT the one updating these blogs, but her sister (me) Alejandra doing the weekly update. Enjoy!)

So this week was very eventful!! I don't know if I'll have time to write everything!

Monday when we got back home from our buying groceries, Sister Corbridge went out to our backyard and she found a little family of cats!! It was a mom and 4 kittens!! So we had pets for a little bit...(they stayed outside) It was funny because the day before, I was telling her how much I hate cats...I'm sorry...I don't know what it is...but I just really don't like cats. Later on in the week, they came to get them. It was kind of sad watching them go...They had to trap the mom into a cage and it was really sad seeing her freak out in that cage. I don't know where they took them...I think it was to a shelter but I hope they're okay!

Tuesday was a really good day! We had Zone Meeting!! Yay! I was asked to give a training on "Exact Obedience" and "Challenging Unrighteousness." It was really a great experience to give that training. I really truly love being exactly obedient! It brings so many blessings! I love it because it allows the spirit to be with us, which is really all we need! So zone meeting was great! It was filled with revelation and inspiration! That night we also went to visit one of our investigators.

Michaela is 19 years old and has been going to YSA activities for about 6 months now. She's gone to church multiple times and really loves being at church. Multiple times while teaching her, she has mentioned how she already considers herself a Mormon! So Tuesday night we decided to make it official! We had a lesson at a member's home and we invited her to be baptized! She said yes!! She will be getting baptized either the 24th or 25th of July! The lesson we had with her was so powerful! It was truly amazing! The members who let us into their home did such an amazing job! They did everything we could ever ask for!!

This week was truly great! I was really able to feel the love that Christ has for each one of us. I know that Michaela will find so much happiness in her life as she continues to follow Jesus Christ. We all can find that happiness! That's what I'm out here to do. I just want others to find the happiness that I once found and that I continue to find. I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ truly is the only thing that can bring us complete happiness. I love my Savior with all my heart and I'm so thankful that I have this time to serve Him and represent Him. I strive to become better each and every day so that I can represent Him the way he deserves. I won't ever be the perfect representative, but I will try! I love this gospel with all my heart!

I love you all!

Love,

Hermana Ramos-Escobar
