This week was such a good week! The change that I am so blessed to see in the lives of my investigators is just unreal. Nothing compares to it. Although Satan has just been so darn annoying in some of these changes recently, I know that these people have been prepared by Heavenly Father and little by little will come to know the truthfulness of this gospel. Because let me tell you, this gospel is tue! I had no clue I could have a deeper testimony of this before I left on my mission because before I left I had not a single doubt in my mind but now, its just even deeper and I know with a surety that this is the true, and only church of Jesus Christ on the earth and that it was restored to the earth again through the profet Jose Smith. How blessed are we to ahve this knowledge?! Last night we did a passby to a family that we met in the street alwhile ago but we have yet to actually teach them much besides a spiritual thought here and there and last night only the two kids were home so we taught a little bit and then helped the girl with her english homework before we headed out and man, this family just has no love and hope in their life. It is the most saddest thing to walk into their house and just feel no love between them and no love for life or anything. Last night it truly broke our hearts. We are hoping to bring some love, hope, and peace into their home and teach them about the infinite and perfect love of our Father in Heaven and Jesus Christ.
Also this week was a bit of a long week just becuase one of the other Hermanas in our ward has been sick for weeks now and finally her body just was worn out and the dr told her to stay inside for at least 4-5 days so we did a lot of intercambios to get her comp out of the house and also so that they could still be able to teach their lessons throughout the week. So there were quite a few days this week where I stayed in with her for a few hours while my comp and her comp were out teaching. I finally made a pretty good dent in Jesus The Christ (the book that is just about 800 pages long) and holy cow I am loving this book! This book is incredible. Although it is no easy read my any means, I am learning a ton and coming to understand and know my Savior even more.
We were so so blessed again this week to have several of our investigators come to church again and wow it was SUCH a great sunday! The talks and the lessons seriosuly could not have been more perfect. I love our ward. We are so excited for this coming week and the following to hopefully start seeing some real progression with these people that have been coming to church the past few weeks. Oh and one neat thing that happened yesterday at church was in sacrament meeting we were about to start and we had our investigators pretty spread out throughout the congregation with different members and such and hna Scheu and I were sitting right in front of our beautiful family (andriana y enrique) and their little girl victoria was sitting up with us and a guy comes in and squeezes next to me. I chat with him for jsut like two minutes before we start adn get his story because I had never seen him before and he is from some African country, came here about 3 months ago, has no clue why he is here just that he felt like he should up and move to spain. So a last week he was praying before he left his house that morning for some guidance on why he is here and what he is supposed to be doing here. He was in a taxi later that day and drove by the church and saw the words "Jesucristo" and knew that that is why he came here... to go to that church. So he showed up on Sunday and just loved every minute of it and said he just felt so much peace and happiness being in the chapel. Adn that we wants to learn more. So so so awesome right? Too bad he lives outside of our area so I have to pass his reference on to other missionaries, but as long as he gets taught then I am happy! He was such a neat guy! And sucha testimony that Heavenly Father is preparing so many epople right now.
Jaja one funny thing that happened this week... hna Scheu and I were walking down the street to our lesson and just after we crossed a street we walk by two small pigs walking behind their owners. We walked passed and both stopped dead in our tracks turned around to do a double take and yep, sure enough two pigs just walking right behind their owners. Jaja we laughed pretty hard! I was bummed I didnt have my camera with me.
Ok well I love you family! Thank you so much for your love adn support! WE are excited to have Ridel´s baptism this tuesday so next week Ill ahve pics from teh baptism! He is so ready and so is his sweet wife. He came out of his baptismal interview yesterday just beaming!
