I never know where to start!! and my ability to spell gets worse every week ( and there is no english spell check) so i hope you can figure out what i am about to write!
Well we had divisions again this week (with the sister training leaders) and i got to stay in my area and work with hna. Boitel! she is so funny! she is from the domican republic and has the coolest accent! we had lots of fun and saw lots of miricles!
Oh but the sad news this week... our district leader was transfered and is now a zone leader in another area! he was great and as much as he drove us crazy we really loved him and missed him ots this week.
we had a Zone conference this week.. kind of... we were all eating waiting for President and then they told us it was cancled... which was sad cuz i was actually really excited. but then we had the chance to go visit a family that we havent seen in a long time and they were so happy to see us! thats been happening a lot.. our area is so big and we still havent figured out how to keep in contact with everyone every week and so when we finally go visit old investigators they always say "oh! what a miricle!" so thats a good sign right! haha
We saw lots of miricles this week but the best happened on tuesday. We were walking to a cita and saw one of our less active members (he is so so nice!) and we confirmed our cita with him and then he said his nephew wants us to teach him! and asked if it would be okay if he could come to the lesson. of course we said yes and were thrilled! His name is Johan and he is 12. he is the smartest 12 year old i have ever met and he knows soooo much about the church already (hes been 8 times!). needless to say we had an amazing lesson with him and when we challenged him to baptisim he said yes and yes to a fecha! and his uncle said his mom already gave permission!!! it was incredible! and the next cita was awsome and he knew everything from the folleto by heart! and he said he prayed about the book of mormon and he knows its true! He told us he wants to go on a mission and when i asked him why he said its because he made a promise with Jesus. this young boy is amazing. and of course he came to church on sunday and all the young men love him! oh and his uncle who was less active is so great to! he comes to church every week now and this week he wore a white shirt, tie and slacks!! and he got the aaronic priesthood! and when i told Johan that means his uncle can baptise him he smiled so big and you could just see the joy in his heart! This is why i am here! for people and families like them who are changing their lives for eternity! I am just so excited! and its all beacuse we met his uncle and he started coming back to church after like 9 years of inactivity!
Oh and with the same family! their dad/ grandpa is very catholic and i am pretty sure he is 100 years old... his licenes says 84 but his nieghboor told us that its a false birthday so that he can still drive... hahaha oh mexico. But he really doesnt seemlike he is 100. he is crazy and we love him and we gave him a book of mormon and a folleto about the plan of salvation and when we had our 2nd lesson with Johan we saw the book and folleto with the glasses of the grandpa on top! and the follet was open! he had been reading without us even reminding him! and he told us he read the whole thing and he was reading the BOM ch. we left him to read too! I hope he gets baptised cuz all his children are members but not him! he is hilarious too and i never understand a word he says hahaha.
We have another investigator (he is the nieghboor of the miricle family) (calle pios is just read to recive the word!) and he is also hilarious! he reminds me of uncle lee! and he LOVES us! but like daughters (unlike most of the men here...) so its awesome! and he is really into obedience and so the other day we taught his the word of wisdom cuz he sells cofee beans... and he is only worried cuz he knows it will be hard to stop but he wants to!! and he wants to get ride of his coffee and sell something else! because he knows that once you know about a commandment and then break it its way worse! he is amazing! please pray for him!
ahh this week was great and i love this gosple! i love and miss you all so much!
vayan con dios!
