Fun at Wilton

Aug 24, 2015
¡Hola Mamacita!
This week was pretty great! We've been focusing a lot more on our prayers and recognizing the little miracles that happen everyday. There wasn't always success, but we saw tender mercies of the Lord that told us that he really does answer our prayers. One instance was that we had an appointment with a part member family. We parked in front of their house and pondered what it was that we wanted to pray for. We decided to pray that we would be able to talk with the husband that isn't a member. We got to the house, knocked on the door and no one was home. So we decided before we left that we should write a note. As I was writing it, a car pulled up, and it was the husband!! Our prayer was answered and we were able to talk with him! He wouldn't give us a return appointment... But it was still a miracle!

A few days later we had another miracle. We have a solid investigator in Wilton, named Maricruz, who is the sister of a recent convert. She knows a lot about the gospel already from sitting in the new member lessons with her sister. When I came to visit them last week, I thought, why haven't we been teaching Maricruz when she's right here! Haha so we've started teaching her. We invited her to be baptized and she said that she knows that she will! She wants to learn a little more, but that she knows it's going to happen. We are hoping that we can help her to set a date, but as for now we are so excited that she wants to be baptized! 

As always, we have met some fun animals this week, we met some snakes, rats, tons and tons of bunnies! (I'm just watching out for the were-rabbit... I guess that's only in Wallus & Grommit), zebras, lamas, emus, rumors of mountain lions just down the road eating the emus, cute pugs, scary black dogs, horses, all that jazz! The other day my companion and I were knocking on a door (big surprise!). As soon as the door was open, a dog ran out and tackled me! I about fell to the ground! I thought it was just an over friendly dog that can't help but jump, I've seen some very jumpy dogs out here! But then I heard it bark and I knew it was out for murder. Haha but seriously! Thank goodness the owner got him off me! 
Last week during zone conference we had to introduce ourselves by saying what is our favorite thing about our area. I can't lie, my favorite thing is that it's a petting zoo!

Para Siempre Dios esté con Vos,
Con Amor,
Hermana Twitchell
