It was a very very windy week. One day we were walking in the street wet from the ice cold rain and with the wind practically blowing us over. We realized there was hardly anyone in the street and my companion asked me, ¨do you think there´s a storm coming?¨ Turns out it was one of the worst storms in the history of Morelia. When we finally got to a members house we found out there was a weather warning telling everyone to stay in there houses. I guess when you don´t have television or newspapers or internet you kinda miss out on important messages like that. But we made it home just fine :) And we don´t mind it all that much when it rains cause people seem to be a lot more receptive when they see two young girls, standing in the rain, shivering from the cold on their doorstep. It helps keeps things interesting.
But really this week was fantastic. We were able to visit one family that we met in la combi (little bus/van like things that we use to get around the city) and they are PERFECT. They´ve been asisting a Christian church these last couple months just trying to find the true church and they were super excited when we went to visit them. As we taught about Joseph Smith and the Restaration, the mom just starting crying, and she couldn´t expain why. She said she just felt something happy in her heart and she wanted to learn more. I love seeing all the different ways the Spirit testifies of the truth to these people when they open up their hearts. And tonight we´ll be having a Family Home Evening with them and the Bishop´s family.
And remember Ruben that I wrote about last week? This week he told his family that he´s getting married and will be getting baptized. They weren´t very happy with that. It was hard for Ruben cause he´s always looked for the support and approval of his family, but he knew what he had to do and he just shared his testimony and told them that with or without their support he´ll be getting baptized. I was so touched by that to see that even with opposition from his own family, he´s firm in his decision and testimony. It´s not always easy to live the gospel, but it´s worth it.
And well, that´s about it for this week! I love you all and I know that this church is true!
