We
were walking around trying to find some members the other day and we
ended up talking to this lady and she let us in and we entered her
house... well it was more like a shack, but we walked into her house
there was food everywhere on the floor the beds were covered in spider
webs, and old clothes, there was barely a roof and she had 3 kids that
were running around barefoot in the freezing cold. Well she is 23 years
old, had 3 kids under the age of 6 and is single. She has no work, no
family, nothing. We started to talk with her, and it turns out she is a
member of the church. She started telling us about how much she has
suffered but through everything she has been so grateful for what she
has. We began talking about how God has a plan and that really he
blesses us when we recognize his hand in our lives. Well we talked and
talked and well it made me 100 times more grateful for the sacrifice
that my parents have made for me, but also the sacrifice of Jesus Christ
so that we can be here and we can be happy. We set up an appointment to
return and teach her more the following day. When we went back there
was nothing. The roof was gone, The door was gone, everything was gone.
The house ceased to exist. I turned to my companion and we were all...
¨Was that real? Did that really happen?¨
Yes it did, i truly believe
that the lord puts these people in our lives to teach us a lesson. A
lesson of gratitude, humility, and most importantly love. I can honestly
say that the love we have for others reflects the love that our savior
has for us. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be here in Argentina! I love you and miss you all! Be grateful for the little
things!
Love,
Hermana Kraft
