¡HOLA AMIGOS!

¿Cómo le va?

Its not cold anymore, it's a little weird. But we are loving it.

This week was pretty good. We found out that Mario Fica is moving down to the South side so we are both a little sad. But we are meeting with him tonight at the hospital and we are going to bring him some food. He is a funny man and if I get moved to the South Side, I will definitely be visiting him. But we finally got in with a less-active member that we have been trying for a long time. His name is Ulysses Santiago and he is a ex-boxer. He can speak English perfect but we invited him to church and he came! The sister missionaries are going to start meeting with him. Hopefully he can keep coming to church (the best place for anyone).

Brother Mayer fed us on Wenesday. He served his mission in Chile and he is one of my favorite members. We walk into his house and there is no food. He asks us what we feel like eating. We say Chinese and he orders a bunch of Chinese. It was so good! But we shared a message about prayer using the story of Enos. He showed us another cool thing. In 1 Nephi after Laman and Lemuel let Nephi go after ttying him up for like 4 days, the first thing he does is get on his knees and pray. Do we have this amount of gratitude in our lives?

Friday was super busy. We first went and had a lunch appointment with Hermana Pickell and her husband. She has to be one of the nicest women I have met. But then we got in with one of our new investigators Eric Aguilan and his family. They are from Hondures and have the cutest kids. They are former investigators so we reviewed and invited them to come out to church. Unfortunately, they did not make it, but we will met with them again next week. We then met with Anslemo Aleman, who is also a former and talked to him for an hour about the Godhead and how they are 3 different people. But he seems like he is interested, but I don't know about baptism. We will work with him. But we saw Gabriel and his family again. But the wife and children do not want to really be taught by us. They are Jehovah;s Witness and Gabriel is the only member of the church. But he came to church and he prays for his wife to see the truthfulness of the gospel. I pray that they can use the Spirit to find our way in to their hearts. 

Really good week overall, and more miracles to come!
