Hermana Quincee Carter Paraguay Asuncion North: Do You Believe in Miracles??

Hola!!!

Do you believe in miracles, I do! Cause I heard that BYU beat the Utes #miriclesarereal #gocougs. No but actually I have seen so many miracles in my mission. I am so grateful to have been in this amazing country these past few months and see the hand of God in this great work.

I also am sooo grateful for all the birthday wishes this week. I read every single email and I am so blessed to have such great friends. I love each and everyone of you!

We have been teaching this one man named Rasta for a little over a month. We've had lots of lessons and given him lots of opportunities to pray in front of us but it's always the same answer. Tengo vergüenza. Tengo miedo. We had a lesson with him last night and it was the same answer. I'm scared, but then we really dug in and he said maybe I'm not just scared, maybe I don't feel worthy to pray.

We were able to talk about the atonement and other really important things. We were completely guided by the spirit. We finished the lesson, and pushing my doubts aside, I asked him again. I asked him to close with a prayer and he said okay I'll try. It was so amazing. It was a simple but beautiful prayer. You could feel the spirit so strongly.

We did a few chapel tours
Had a huge breakthrough with Raquel. Please keep her in your prayers
It was real rainy this week
then it was real hot
its 104 today, and apparently that's not even bad
20 years on this planet #cool #grandma
Cougs beat the Utes - just want to say that again
Made and delivered lots of brownies
I tried some soda for the first time in a whilleeee. Still sucks:(
Somebody tried to pickpocket Hermana Roman in the bus but she's too fast
We have this area called the red zone aka the Compton of Paraguay. We are not allowed to go there
^^We went this week with our district leader to teach a lesson in person #scary

It's thanks to the atonement of our Savior I was able to have one of the most tender moments in my mission. I was able to promise Rasta that it's thanks to Jesus Christ and His suffering and pain that we don't have to suffer with holding on to our past sins. It's thanks to Him we can be forgiven. Not only was this so significant to Rasta, but this is something very special to me. I am not a perfect person, I am actually quite far from it. But through the atonement I can repent, I can get better, I can strive to be more like Christ.

Te amo
