What's up best friends? Welcome to back to the Weekly-Winegar, where this week I talk about what happened during my week. Enjoy.
This week had lots of miracles, but also lots of..."meh". While the "meh" moments outnumbered the miracles, I would love to talk about the miracles.
First miracle is that in the course of the past two weeks, my Spanish has almost tripled. Not sure how, just kinda happened haha.
When I first got transfer news two weeks ago, I was really nervous because I already knew my comp, E. Medrano, and knew that he doesn't like to talk much. I was super worried about how on earth we were going to teach lessons, because I myself didn't really know how to speak Spanish.
To my surprise though, I have been teaching almost every lesson solo and without a crazy amount of confusion!
Even if it was scary, I know that the Lord placed me in this companionship at this time because he knew what I needed to learn and grow.
Other miracle this week was from a fast I did on Sunday! We had a statistically bad week and it was getting me pretty down, especially because I felt like I was doing everything I could. BUT after fasting, we ended up having success with almost every contact and lesson we had. We are now set up for a week full of lessons and contacts, and it was almost all after the fast.
I know God listens to our prayers and fasts. As we humble ourselves and endure the trials we are given, pushing forward with these prayers in our hearts, we will see the blessings in due time.
Two other fun mini stories is that we had a four hour painting service project this week. After I painted alone for 2 and a half hours, me and E. Medrano decided to go buy him a paint brush and we actually started making progress. Who woulda thought ahaha.
Other story is that we have a little black widow buddy in one of our windows outside in the same room where we sleep. She's pretty sick, but now I'm bit scared cause an Investigator told us that she went to the hospital from a black widow bite. I'm not too worried though because I'm pretty sure it was from the scorpion antidote she applied instead of her Black Widow antidote lol.
Love each and every one of you with all my heart!! Keep living righteously, hold on to your faith, and love everyone.
