ahahah well.. check the date folks.. crazy right? its true, I have never been robbed in all of my mission. que suerte. maybe i could write all sorts of sentimental nostalgic things about the mish.. but i'll save it for later (:
This week has been really crazy and busy. We have awesome investigators. Juan and Vanessa continue progressing. Vanessa is such a cool kid. She is really grasping onto the principles of the gospel and trying to live better. Juan is too. He has an alcohol problem, since he was 11... so his trials are a little bit bigger because hes now 29. But its cool because he went 6 days without drinking. wanna know the coolest part? we haven't even taught him about the word of wisdom! When he decided to stop drinking, he had only received the restoration, and had gone to church one time. YOU GUYS THE GOSPEL IS REAL. haha its been a really great process. Everytime i see someone choosing to repent and make good decisions because they WANT TO, i want to jump for joy. Its too much for me to even handle. the love and joy and excitement I feel can't be explained with many words. So there's a little bit about them.
Then, this week while contacting, we have had some great success. We were on our way to a lesson and there was a man outside washing his car. We said hi and kept walking... something in me was like, duuuude contact him! but i told my comp, hey if he is still outside when we come back, lets contact him. Sometimes i am not very smart, but heavenly father has a lot of patience with me. (: our lesson got cancelled because the family wasn't there... so we went right back to the guy and luckily he was still outside. We contacted him and he said that we could come back the next day to teach him and his wife. They have 2 little niños and his wife is prego. WE went back and his wife wasn't there.. boo. so we started to explain to him the rule we have about being alone with men... he started asking us MILLION super INSPIRED QUESTIONS. it was the coolest thing ever. We tried to peace as quick as we could, but his wife showed up and they kept asking so many questions. haha it was so awesome. we didn't even get to teach a full lesson because they had lots of doubts and thoughts. the cool thing is that they have friends who are members and work with a few members and like what they have seen and heard. i can hear the bells... (wedding bells because #notmarried.) wahooo and then water splashes because #baptism (:
then another contact we did, we were explaining to a lady about the activity we had and all of a sudden she hands us the invitation and says, no its okay, i don't believe in all of that. 2 months ago, god took my dad away from me.. it has been the hardest trial of my life... wow. she literally broke my heart in two. we started explaining as fast as we could about the plan of salvation.. she tried rejecting us but its like the spirit was holding her right there on the street so she could open her heart. she started to cry and told us about lots of sadness that she was feeling. we tried to comfort her.. she was kind of mean in the beginning and at the end, didn't give us her address so that we would visit her. buuut we gave her biig tight bear hugs and she apologized for being mean and said that she would read the pamphlet. hopefully she calls. but basically i love seeing how the spirit works through us. it is such an awesome feeling. so special to help people feel a little bit better in the day. and the cool part is I am totally not afraid of hugging any stranger that comes in my way. I LOVE EVERYONE. I JUST WANT THEM TO BE HAPPY WITH THE GOSPEL. POR FAVOR. haha so theres that.
we had an awesome activity and we have 4 investigators there.. and like 10 menos activos. HOLLA. it was like a live, active presentation of the restoration. it was tight.. and after, we did improvised skits which was fun.. as you'll see below.. haha.
this week i have learned lots of interesting things.. mostly what kind of husband i want, and what kind of mom and wife i want to be... life is crazy and the world isFULL of tempations and problems but i for sure know that I want my family to be in the gospel. a cool quote that i heard last week was "preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words." that is going to be my motto.. at least i am going to try (:
well.. thats all folks. love you all, be good, take good decisions and choose to be happy!!! (:(:
