Hermana Ross; Proselyting in Paraguay!: Small miracles are big in the sight of the God!

We´ve been working hard these days. Real hard. Hoping and praying for a way to find people who want to be baptized and follow the example of Jesus Christ. Its not easy. The agency of the people kills me sometimes. It is without a doubt thee most difficult part of the mission. But Sunday I was able to see miracles. Small miracles, but beautiful miracles. Sitting in the same church house now as when I started my mission, but now being able to understand every word that they talk about. Seeing my ward mission leader. A recent convert sit down at church yesterday, with tears in his eyes, because the day before he was sealed with his family for time and all eternity after one year of being baptized in the Church of Jesus Christ. Looking around me and knowing that almost everyone around me are converts to the church.

There are so many miracles that I can see now. Small and tender mercies of the lord. That I don't know if I really saw before coming on the mission. But my heart has been changed and my eyes have been opened. God loves his children so much. He knows our needs.

Another miracle that brought tears to my eyes was to see a family, recent converts, mom, dad and four little boys sitting in front of me. The mom and the dad sat there hugging. This family is so close to the missionaries, and live in our area. They were baptized about 5 months ago. In Relief Society we had a lesson on mission work. They told us that we should never say that someone will never accept the gospel. We never know if they will change. The new convert, Maria, turned to me and said. ¨I was one of those people who said that I would never change, that ran away from the missionaries, hiding behind the door. And look at me now, I got married, I got baptized with my husband, and now my twin boys are going to be baptized by my husband this Saturday.¨I looked at her and I felt so grateful I then had to ask her ¨¨Are you happy?¨She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said. YES!

The gospel is here in our lives to change us, to help us become better people. To help us become closer to the Savior. I love this gospel so much. We are so blessed to live in familes that are blessed to have the gospel.

And by the way sending me my flight plans wouldn't make me trunky. Im working hard. I dont know a whole lot about my last day here in the mission. But I can tell you I doubt we will be going to sleep in one place. My last day here is signing papers and then we go to the temple. We will have a testimony meeting and then I imagine that they will send us to the airport. Its going to be a long flight. HAHA the hermana Murguia and I are in the same zone and we were talking about when we get home we are going to want to hang out. She is from Salt Lake. Well West Jordan. Maybe the week after. But I don't know what is all going to be happening. Í just know that it wont be easy. Well I love you guys a ton.

Love,

Hermana Ross
