This week down in Manvel has been Wonderful. We are still struggling getting the area starting but it is at least moving and we have some wonderful investigators:)
Our wonderfull beautiful family finally came to church and Rey and Kayla the kids were baptized a couple weeks ago and finally got confirmed and the mom came and the other kids:) It was seriously a huge miracle that they finally could come to church and they loved it. We went over after church and watched the Joseph Smith movie with them and they said it answered alot of questions they had and that they have some answers for some of their kinda anti mormon family members so that is awesome:)
We were able to go to the temple this P-day! it was amazing! I love the Houston Temple. We were able to go with our stake presidents wife and daughter and they speak fluent Spanish and travel to Guatemala all the time. I want to travel there so bad. Her Daughter (Tori) is leaving for her mission to Brazil and is leaving in a couple of days:) it is so exciting I love missionaries!
We were also able to go again that week to the temple on a spontanious baptisms for the dead trip with a recent convert. Pico is what we call him but his real name is Fransisco. No idea why they call him Pico. but anyways we were in a lesson with him on Thursday night and he told us that he couldnt come to the temple trip that we will be having this coming weekend because he is going to California. Hna. Andersen and I both felt strongly that we needed to get him to the temple before the trip. So we asked him if he could go this Saturday if we can arrange everything. He said yes. We went home Scheduled an interview for Friday night with the bishop. that night he called his mom to get all the info about his Dad who passed away so he could be baptized for him. He went to the interview and everything was good and then on Saturday we put in his dads info and then we were good to go. We got permission to take the other sisters Hnas. Taylor and Wood with us because it is hna. Taylor's recent convert and Pico took us and it was amazing. We all were able to bring our own family names to do Ordinances for as well:) it was amazing! Taking your own names to the temple really brings the spirit so strong. haha the funny thing too was that my ancestors name was Melissa. It was an amazing experience.
We also were able to get in contact with all the members in our area and are really strengthening our relationship with them:) I love them so much already its insane. I am creating a whole new family here in texas:) dont worry family you will NEVER be replaced! My heart is just getting bigger.
There is a joke that is going around were missionaries come up to other missionaries and say "hey how far away do you think that plane is?" "uhhh I dont know about 15 or 20 miles" then then the other person says "uhhh about 4 and a half months!" haha referring to how long before you go home. CRUEL JOKE!!! for real though! just working hard and moving on. its all good:) just a forever missionary!
We are working on finding more people to teach but it has been a week of miracles because we have been able to see a lot of people that we haven't seen for a while! I am excited to see all the miracles we will receive this week.
Hna. Anderson is amazing:) I love her so very much and her Spanish is improving so much! She is a wonderful missionary and I am so blessed to be her companion!
Gracias por todo,
Los Quiero muchisimo
Con amor,
La Hermana Heckel.
