Hola All,
So I REALLY wish that I had more time to write because a LOT has happened lately. First and foremost, I found out that I am staying in Constitución for 6 more weeks!! YAY! I couldn’t be happier not only because I absolutely love the people here so much but also because we have people here who are progressing so well and I want to keep working with them. This weekend we saw a complete family get baptized. They really changed their lives around. We worked a lot with the father to help him stop drinking and smoking (hence the picture). So I am happy to be able to stay here with them. I am sad though that my compañera is going home. She was an amazing missionary and I was very blessed to have her as a companion! My new compañera is Hermana Norton. She is in the beach/starfish picture all the way on the right (we went to the beach this morning because it has surprisingly been very warm lately: ). She is amazing as well and I am way excited to work with her.
So I have talked a lot about Mila, this woman we have been teaching who is bedridden and hasn’t seen the light of day for over a month. Lately she hasn’t even been able to sit up so she hasn’t been able to go out in a wheelchair either. On Saturday we went and visited her and she got a blessing of health. On Sunday morning we went to get her for church (to be honest I didn’t really think she was going to be able to come) and she decided that she was going to come and she came! We carried her into the car and used a wheelchair to take her around. It was amazing for her and I was so excited to witness that miracle.
En realidad, I see miracles like that a lot. It’s so crazy and I am so greatful to be a part of what I am doing!
With Love,
Hermana Gamboa
