I told myself I was not going to not write a letter again, so here I am trying to complete my commitment (how do you say that in english?)
Okay, I don't know how I haven't told you guys yet, because I have been SO excited about it, but we are going to have a wedding next monday! Surprise! I have no idea how I forgot to tell, that is bad.
Their names are H and A, and they are a young couple, 24 and 25 years old that have been living together for 5 years, and they are awesome! Investigators of gold, I'm serious. Also, A is SUUPER pregnant, like she is due for the first week of August! But, we found them a few weeks ago (they are the bishop's neighbors), and we talked a lot about the family, and how they can be eternal, and the temple, and how it is there that we are sealed for eternity with our families. They just soaked.it.up. and at the end of the lesson, I felt prompted to challenge them to pray to ask God if they should be married before the birth of their baby (which is kinda crazy, I KNOW) I thought they would freak out, or act like it was impossible, but when I asked them if they would do it, they both calmly said, "Si, claro que si, oraremos" and so they prayed together that night.
The next visit we went to their house and asked about their answer, and they said they felt really good about being married before the birth of their baby, so that he would be born to a father and mother, united as a couple in marriage. They said that they knew that would be the best thing. WHAT?! It was awesome! They just get it, and have been willing to make lots of sacrifices (like getting married so fast) to do what God would have them do. It has been awesome.
So the wedding is THIS monday, can you believe that? I am going to do her hair, and I am SOSO excited. I LOVE WEDDINGS.
Then, they will get baptized on the 22/07. I am so excited. I know that Heavenly Father is so happy for their decision too.
This week I studied Elder Holland (BEST WEEK EVER) and I LOVE the talk, "are we not all beggars?"
I loved this part.
Do ALL that you can, and the Lord will do the rest. That's one thing I am really trying to understand and apply more in my life: trusting in Him.
I love you all, and pray for you every night.
Love, Hermana Clark
