Familia y Amigos

Buenas! Como estan? He tenido una semana que fue muy interesante y bonita. No puedo creer que estoy aqui todavia pero me gusta California mucho. So this week one of the other Hermanas is going home because she is past 18 months. We went out to celebrate with frozen yogurt down our street. While we were eating our yougurts we could see film crews setting up. They came in to sample icecream and asked them what they were doing. They were shooting an episode with of a show with those twins from Disney Channel Tia and Tamara. We left before we got there but that was something interesting. California is so interesting. We have met all walks of life and we can feel the love that Heavenly Father has for all of them.
 
Sabado we had an experience when we went to go see some people that we had been teaching to invite them to Church. Well when we got to the gate a man pulled up and we were going to move our bikes to let him in and he said he was just grabbing things and then was going to leave. So we offered to help him with his things. While moving everything he owns to his car he told us that he was kicked out of the house and that they took his rent money and he had nowhere to go but to live at a park in his car. He is about 65 and is disabled so he cannot work. As we were talking with him he was saying how he wanted to change his life, that before he would normally drink when things were hard but that he didn't want to now.He said that his children won't have anything to do with him and he was at the lowest of lows. We didn't know what we could do for him. But we invited him to change his life by coming to Church with us on Sunday. We didn't promise him any help because he we didn't know what we could do other than bring him the comfort and change he needed in his life through Church. Well he came to Church before us on Sunday and wen't to all three hours. Members got together to see what they could do which wasn't much but they pointed him in the direction of places he could go for addiction recovery. He was great and told us how he felt much better because of going to Church. Later last night he called us and told us that after Church he really wanted to drink but that instead he went to the hospital instead to get help. That was amazing. He also told us again that he wanted to change his life and that he when he gets money he wants to go buy a white shirt and nice pants to go to Church to just feel clean. Also said that he was going to start reading the Book of Mormon. I have just felt that we were there at his house at the same time for a purpose. Heavenly Father has a plan for him. He still has his agency to choose but Heavenly Father has really pointed him in the right path while he is in the lowest he has ever felt. I know he has true intention. That was just one of many miracles we had this week.
I hope you are all doing well and that you know how grateful I am for your support.
 
Yo se que Dios tiene propostio por cada persona. Tenemos la albeduria para escoger el plan de Dios y se que si escogemos Su plan, vamos a tener todos de las cosas que necesitemos. Mediante la Expiacion de Jesucristo podemos cambiar y lleguemos a ser la persona que Dios quiere.
 
Les Amo muchisimo
Con Amor,
Hermana Sanders
