Where to begin? This week has been crazy hot! Like sweating from being outside hot and it’s just the first day of spring! But after all this heat there have been huge blessings like having a nice breeze to cool us down in the heat!
Also, I recited The First Vision to a person interested in the gospel this week! First time ever in Spanish! Then I invited them to be baptized and we have a date for baptism! My companion and I fasted for an opportunity to meet those who would be interested in learning more about the gospel and that our investigators would come to church. But none came... that’s okay though we kept working hard and we met a family that was an investigator 6 years ago. We invited them to a Culture Stake party that was on Saturday. AND THEY CAME! Not only that, after the party they turned to us and said we were going to come to church last week, but my husband had to work. MY companion and I where in shock! Wow! A couple min later we introduced them to the Bishop and they said to the Bishop they are going to go to church!!!!!!! Wow. So Sunday my companion and I are waiting for them and we think they aren’t going to show up because we were already 30 min into Sacrament Meeting then we look behind us and the whole family is in church! Sitting by members! And the Gospel Principles class afterwards was so good the teacher wasn’t there so my companion and I taught, and the class was on eternal families and there were a lot of recent converts there who were answering questions the family had! AND during 3rd hour the other sisters in the ward where talking with the mom of the family and handed her a Liahona bc that’s what the class was on and our investigator read the whole thing! After church their 11 year old son came running up and said that he needed to be at church next Sunday (it’s the primary program and the primary leaders gave him a part) the mom said oh but you have scouts and he replied that’s okay I want to come here! Then a primary leader came over and explained the program has music and talks and that there is a practice Saturday. -Oh man it was so good so many members where so excited and helping by introducing themselves and making them feel involved and talking with them! Wow Oh man it was so good. Anywho the culture activity was each ward had a country assigned to them and the Wards talked about the cultures and there was fun food then dancing as well of the different cultures.
This week we had lunch with family Gramaho and oh my heavens they are a hoot and a holler. They downloaded an English app and where saying things in Spanish into their phone and translating them to English then I would speak in English and they would translate it back it was so funny bc I already knew what they were asking. They are also recent converts of about a year and they said the first time thy had missionaries over they gave them wine. oops. Haha! And then they made us a really good cake. Don’t worry I got the recipe. But half way though eating it the father was whispering to the mom from across the table saying I think there is something in here the missionaries can’t have it was so funny I guess normally they add coffire to the cake but just a little... but because we came over they used Nesquik haha. And this part is the best they were trying to speak English and they said “Good Bless States United” and I was like “Oh it's America… God bless America” and they were like how sweet not just the USA but all of America including Mexico and Argentina. I thought it was cute lol.
Also another miracle this week we knocked on 29 houses yesterday and we got denied.. I know its 29 bc we have to keep track haha anywho we knock at one last house and this older lady opens the door and said are you here for ice cream. confused we say no we are missionaries and she lets us into her house/ parlor shop and she says she loves to read so we give her a Book of Mormon and she wants to pay us so we explain that we worked before we came out here so we don’t need any money and she says okay how about ice cream. So, she gave us ice cream!
WOW crazy week! I hope everyone is doing well love you all!
