This week was gooood. We found 14 new people just through
contacting them on the street! Whoop whoop! But we tried to find every single
one of them this week and haven't been able to catch them at the right time in
their house...so they are never home. :( But that's okay, I know if its what they
need to Lord will provide a way for us to find and teach them! We had a little
miracle happen though yesterday! Last week on Sunday we contacted a kid in the
street. His name is Antonio Gomez. Anyways, so we have been teaching him this
whole week and its just been great! But the problem is that he works in a
Tortilleria (tortilla store) everyday and has to ask 15 days ahead of time to
get a day off. So he was like ya I wont be able to go to church this week. So,
my comp and I felt the same impression in the lesson and we just said if this
is something you want to do, and if you pray for help we Know the Lord will
provide a way for you to attend church this week with us because when the Lord
gives us a commandment and we want to live it, He will Always provide a way
for us to be obedient to it. So we prayed and prayed the whole week and on
Sunday morning like 4 hours before church started he called us and with such a
happy and pleased voice he said, "I asked my boss yesterday and he said that I
can go to church with you today!!!" My comp and I just looked at each other and
we just wanted to shout for joy! He was the only investigator that came
yesterday.
The Lord is looking out for us and He is blessing us more
than I can even realize. That little miracle strengthened my testimony on
commandments and prayer. I know with all my heart if we want to be obedient to
the commandments, He will Always provide us a way to accomplish it. He is always
there and He is always listening.
I gave my talk yesterday. They told me that I just needed to
talk on whatever I felt the ward needed to hear. Ha joy. No, but actually I was
surprised how easy it was for me to talk up there. Usually I get soooo nervous
but when I got up I just looked out and I remembered my talk and I said things
that weren't even in my talk and I just did it. Yeah, it wasn't prefect Spanish
but it went pretty well and I felt the Spirit and that's what matters.
Afterwards a little 10 year old boy came up to me and said ¨congratulations!
Your Spanish is getting so much better! I just loved your talk and it was so
sweet.¨ Awww it was so cute. He is such a sweet kid.
I just love the people here. They are so nice and the food
here is Soooo good. Wow its really good, haha.
Anyways, I love you all and hope you have a great week!

p.s since my comp and I are both Americans and have blond
hair...well lets just say we've had some pretty funny experiences with people in
the street. We were in the central city and a guy came up to us just saying you
guys are so beautiful, where are you going, where do you live, oh my goodness
you are just So gorgeous can I go to your church, etc. it was a little freaky
and then he grabbed my hand and tried to kiss it and then grabbed my comps
shoulder and we freaked out a little bit and walked away just laughing. It was
so weird haha. But yeah its pretty funny. Don't worry nothing bad is going to
happen! :)
