Today I received a letter and CD from Amy and thought I would share some of her latest news with you.
First of all, she's arrived at Temple Square, this picture is of her in front of the Salt Lake Temple. Amy says "The Salt Lake Temple is GORGEOUS!!!"
Her current companion from Argentina Sister Montano
The following is some of the writings in Amy letter I received today in the mail.
MIRACLES! We meet so many people from all over the world. The Lord really puts people in our paths for special reasons. I honestly can't tell you how many people I talk to everyday from the Bay Area. My Argentinian companion, (who has been here for 17 months)(she's awesome)she said, "that she's never talked to SO many people from the Bay Area". Between the two of us we mainly talk to people who speak spanish, from the Bay Area and lots of really amazing people from all over the world.
Here's a miracle for today (only time for one today.....sorry)
Just tonight, we met a person T__, with a BYU shirt on (typical around here). We talked to him and found out that (go figure) he just graduated from BYU and is moving to San Jose to work for a company. Well--we took him to the Christus, then to a clip of Thomas S. Monson (President of the Church) bearing testimony of Christ then we felt like we should take him to the room with the Humanitarian stuff. Generally, we usually stick to Tabernacle, Christus, Temple Model Display and the Assembly Hall, so these other places are generally where we take members or just anyone who we feel would feel the spirit best at these places.
Well, Good ol T___ felt the spirit. For sure, we played a clip for him about Hurricane Mitch and the church's response (temporally & spiritually). Tears, Tears, My friend. Spirit + Tears. He didn't need Sister Montano & Sister Harmer. He needed that spirit (via us :)) But the spirit told his heart things we didn't (I love that). So then, (I love what happens next) We bore testimony that this gospel is about what we apply in our lives. He said, it made him think about what Christ did for us and what we can do for others.
I stopped him and said "Exactly, this gospel is about DOing.
What will we DO?
What will we DO with what we know?
What will we DO with the experiences the Lord blesses us with?
What will we DO when we have been through trials and can then relate to others in new ways?
T__ had a lot to think about, so did I.
This is hard out here. No lie.
My feet hate me. But they are proud of me for wearing the Danskos :).
My back wants to collapse most of the time, and
My neck wants to disconnect from my body.
My eyelids burn.
My toes smell funky~all the time
BUT my heart is FULL!
Love,
Amy (Sister Harmer)
