Week 58: The Iceberg

Hey everyone! 

Funny story, as I have mentioned before, Eibert is very difficult for the Latinos to say. So I am well-known as Hermana Iceberg. During church this last Sunday, one of the sweet hermanas was giving a talk that we had helped her write. She started talking about something I had shared with her that she liked and referenced me but couldn't remember my name so she called me the ¨Hermana from Washington¨--which was funny. The best part was our investigator hollering out "Hermana Iceberg" to clarify my name/help her out. And then, the last speaker talked about the story of the Titanic and how it was supposed to be indestructible but then an iceberg happened...there is never a dull moment! I am affectionately known as the Iceberg.

Last week we went out to lunch at a burger joint famous among missionaries. They had bacon cheese burgers!! I was so excited...bacon (and burgers really) aren't really a thing here. But it was fun, we went with the hermanas from Piduco. Cherry on top was the ice cream afterwards. Ice cream, even though it is still freezing--haha! But it was fun. 

My thought of the week: 

One truth that I have shared a lot is our Heavenly Father loves us perfectly and knows us perfectly and is fighting for us always. But this week I have thought a lot about how the adversary is the exact opposite. He is always fighting against us. He doesn't want us to be happy, to have joy, or to have success. He wants us to be miserable, just like him. And the craziest thing is, he knows us too. And he will always try and use our weaknesses against us. How important it is to recognize the danger so that we can fight against it.  

So when our faith is being tested, we must be firm and endure. We can't give up when the pressure mounts. We must face our doubts and master our fears. ¨Certainly don't give into that being who is bent on the destruction of your happiness...He cannot conquer if we will it otherwise.¨

When things get hard, we have to remember that we have a God on our side, our Father who loves us. ¨He loves us beyond mortal comprehension.¨ (Jeffrey R. Holland)

Just some of my thoughts this week.

Love you all. Have a great week. 

Con amor, 

Hermana Eibert
