Hermana Lucha. Lucha means fight. She is a fighter. I would imagine she is about…55 years old minimum. I would say older, but her daughters are around my age…but she looks about 70. She has 2 darling grandchildren. Ana and I met her January 21st. She is not very expressive so it’s difficult to gage if she’s annoyed by your presence, or is enjoying your company. We decided that with her, we were just going to give her the facts. The Gospel Truth from the get-go. God loves you so much, and has a special plan for your life. But there is a problem—sin. Sin has separated us from the wonderful love of God. Don’t worry, there is a solution! Jesus Christ came to this earth, died, and rose again for the forgiveness of our sins, that we may be reunited with God. All you have to do is accept Christ’s sacrifice, repent of your sins, and ask God to guide you for the rest of your days. Then you can spend the rest of your life and all eternity in the peace, love, and comfort that God offers as a gift. This does not mean life is going to magically get easy, but you will always have someone going through every difficulty with you, and providing you with the strength to move on. Would you like to accept that gift? She said yes that day. That’s not the surprising part, because that happens almost every time the gospel is shared. The part that knocks my socks off and makes me so happy and excited, is that for the past two Sunday’s she has come to church, bringing her grandchildren with her. PRAISE THE LORD!
