Sunday mornings can be pretty stressful. In order to avoid the stress we try to plan well. Saturday afternoon we had it all planned out:
The following expierence I share to demonstate that even the best laid plans of mice and men go astray, but if we put in our best effort, God will help us out.
How the morning actually went down:
We were pretty sad but then we realized that Itzayana had gotten there by herself! Wow! Also in Gospel Doctrine class there was another person who had come on invitation of a member and was very interested in learning more!! What a blessing!!!!!! I felt very strongly in that moment that my Father in Heaven is aware of our work and our sincere desire and he helps us and blesses us beyond what we can do. It really is true. We can work hard and plan, but in the end, it´s all his work.
We are continuing to work very hard in Progreso and are having wonderful experiences.
I love you all!!
Love,
Hermana DeFranco
