Hermana Ostler’s
Update – October 20, 2014
This week we were in Quillabamba the entire
week. I have come to the conclusion that I WILL have my own house there. A
jungle paradise with swimming pools on every corner and exotic flowers and
parks and fruit markets and chakras full of fresh mango, pineapple, and cocoa.
I need to go there to live one day.
This week I worked with Hermana
Tamariz, Hermana Irvine, and Hermana Routson. They ALL happen to be going home
tomorrow. What a weird experience to be with people who are ending the mission
experience so soon. But it really was an amazing week because I could see the
diligence of these wonderful sisters to work until the very end. God blessed us
will miracles, as a little thank you to these dedicated servants of the
Lord.
As we were walking through one of
the exotic parks we saw a couple sitting down on a bench, enjoying the shade. I
remembered the invitation from President Harbertson to talk to every family we
see in the street. We went up and began to speak to them and the father told us
that he was an inactive member who got baptized in Lima. We told him that we
had received a prompting to come and speak to them and that was maybe a sign
from God that he wanted him to return to him. He told us that he felt God was
telling him something. How easy it would have been to pass that couple, look
the other way, pretend that we had not seen them... how easy it would be! But
luckily we had been obedient before, and all the rejection in the world did not
deter us from at least trying.
We also had a lesson with a less
active man Isidrio. He used to be branch president but now is living with
someone and has left his wife. I of course do not know the man. But when we
arrived at his house we began teaching of the Atonement and repentance. As I
finished speaking he told me that he had had a dream about me the night before,
where I came and told him the same exact things. He even told me, “your little
pony tail was the same too!” He told us that he takes it as a sign that he
needs to change his life. God is just so aware of his children. We forget it so
often.
I do not have a change. Last
transfer in Cusco.
