I feel like a once a week email is far from suffcient to tell you of all my amazing experiences here in the mission. It was a great week this week. I`m pretty sure we`ve eaten tacos everyday and we continue to have progress and many Spiritual experiences. I don`t know how the Lord does it, but He continues to have infinite patience with us imperfect servents of His and help us to find the people who are ready for His truth. Last week we knocked on a door looking for a woman who I`m pretty sure had moved out of that house long ago, but coincidently it was the same name of the daughter of the woman that opened the door (who doesn`t actually live there), so it caught her attention and she let us in. Long story short, this woman had just lost both of her parents and was praying to know where they had gone. We taught the Plan of Salvation and shed many tears together as she felt the truthfulness of this plan. The Lord is aware of every single one of His children and their needs.
Another quick story, we were waiting at the bus stop with two women who had a bunch of kids. I was about to talk to them and ask if they wanted to hear our message when I heard a still small voice, ¨wait for them to talk to you¨. That goes against basically everything we`re told as missionaries to do, but I listened. A bus passed by and while it wasn`t the bus we normally take, I felt like we should get on. The two women also got on behind us and sat in the back. At this point my companion was so confused as to why we were on the bus, and the only thing I could tell her was to wait. About 3 minutes later one of the women tapped my shoulder. ¨Can you two come visit me and my family?¨ Of course we excitedly said yes and set an appointment. We taught the lesson yesterday and she accepted everything we told her about Joseph Smith and the Restoration. She told us she has been really confused and wants to know which church is true to be able to take her kids and teach them about God. So prepared.
This Thursday Laura will be baptized! It`s a miracle how her mom, who is a member and fighting cancer, has gained enough strength that she will be able to attend the baptism as well. What a blessing! Laura will be the first of my investigators that I have found, taught, and seen baptized. It`s been so wonderful to see the whole process and this great change in her life! El Evangelio es hermoso.
We swtched our P-Day to today to come to Morelia and have a Zone Activity and we will be staying the night to have a conference with the President of the Area, Elder DeHoyes tomorrow morning. I love everything about the mission, the meetings, the activities, the lessons, the ups and downs. I know this is the work of the Lord!
A lot of other great things happened, and I don`t have time to explain everything, but I`ll send some photos of this weeks highlights!
Thanks for all you all do for me! I love hearing from you and feeling of your support and strong spirits. Keep up the great work!
Con todo mi amor,
