¡Hola mis amigos!
¿Cómo están todos?
Pues, tuvimos una semana increible. Sorry, I am loving Spanish lately. It just flows better. But this week was super hot and humid. It would rain at night and then be about 90 degress farenheit during the day. But it was good and I cannot complain because it is better then the "super cold".
We were able to be meet with mostly everyone this week. It was really good. Justine told us that she wants to be baptized in the beginning of September. We were not able to meet with Cloti but we are pretty sure that she will have the same desire. They are learning a lot and they love how much kindness and service they have received. The ward has just taken them in. It is just a testimony to me of the way that the Church is supposed to work. German is doing great but he will not be getting baptized this weekend because he is still waiting to hear if his wife talked to the missionaries in Mexico. We talked to him on Saturday about sharing his testimony with his wife and how it is the most powerful thing that he can do. We are still working with him and preparing him to convert his family. I love how he is looking past the hardship of this time and seeing his family being together forever. He has so much faith and I love him for the example he is to me. Maurico is currently praying for a date to be baptized and he is having a tough time with his family. But we are still helping him see the change of heart that he has had. He is doing good and we know that he will receive an answer to his prayers.
Oh my! Something crazy happened on Friday. So we havn't met with Alexandra for a while now and she left to go on vacation. I got a prompting to text her and see how she was doing. She responded that she was doing good. What followed was a crazy conversation. She said that she had been reading in Alma when he baptized many people and how he established the church. She said that she had butterflies and desires to be baptized when she read that! We were shocked because we were expecting to be handing her off to Chris' home teachers. But she is going to talk to us when she returns and we are really excited to explain what that feeling was and that if she really wants to get baptized how good of choice it is in here life. It is amazing what the Book of Mormon can do. We also talked to Linda and talked to her about gospel dispensations. She asked if we were in a dispensation or an apostasy and we of course answered a dispensation. She said, "Wait, we have a living prophet and I didn't know about it?" She was excited and the room went silent, the Spirit was really strong. She also asked "Why did I not know this before?", and we were like "That's why we are here." I think this is a turning point for her and her progression. The Spirit rocks.
Another cool thing that happened was I called a guy yesterday that we have never been able to contact. He never answers his phone and the address we have on record is wrong. But he answered yesterday and said that he had been waiting for us to call him. He is an RM and has been inactive for a while now and he wants to meet with us and come back to church. He also has a friend that is really interested in the gospel and he wants to meet with us. We are excited to meet them and hopefully it will work out for the best.
Thanks for all the love and prayers. It is amazing how much of a blessing the gospel is in our lives. I want everyone that reads this to know that no matter how hard the times, Christ has already preformed his amazing Atonement and He is the one we can trust in. I love this fact and it keeps me going. Have hope in Jesus Christ and let that be your motivation to get through the "suckiness of life".
Mucho mucho amor!!!
