THAT THY FAITH FAIL NOT

dear everyone,

the island is awesome! it`s taken some getting used to and it is weird because it takes 12 million years to get anywhere but anyway it is wonderful! like a breath of fresh air!

this week we had the confirmation of a former investigator who is now a recent convert at Church (sister perez and her old companion baptized her)! it is always such a special experience when people receive the gift of the holy ghost and are officially a member of the Church!

funny experience: thursday in the metro i sit down next to someone and there was a guy in front of me who exclaimed "oh my word, you are so pretty!" REALLY loud i realized he was talking to me and so i decided might as well use it to my advantage and try and talk to him. then he saw sister perez and said, "oh my goodness you are so pretty too!" we asked him if he had seen missionaries before or knew anything about our Church and he told us the only thing he knew was that there are beautiful women.

this week i was studying an address from the byu women`s conference (it`s super good you can find it on lds.org) and there was a scripture that i loved. it`s Luke 22:31-33,

"31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death."

oh how i love this verse! i love how the Lord prayed for simon and he is then able to have the strength to continue. i know our Savior Jesus Christ loves us all that much as well to pray for us so that we may have faith that never fails.

i love you all! have a great week!

love,

sœur paine
