¡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,
