March 28, 2016

Hey family!!!!

Well Semana Santa officially ended yesterday so its a good day! It was kind of an interesting week but we ended up having some good things happen and receiving some miracles.

Inv. Update.

Valeria, flat out loved EFY. We were super worried because a young man got sent home from this ward for getting caught smoking hahahaha and he told us how bad it was and that it wasn't good at all. But besides the smoker, the had such a great time. Valeria told us that she has never had more fun and felt the spirit so much in her life and that she did not want to come home. She bore a powerful testimony of the things that she had learned in church yesterday. She is dying to get baptized, we moved her date from the 20th of April to the 16th of April because she just wants to get in that water. Golden.

So we have still been having some troubles with Tlapacoya haha. Either the weather is crazy here or there that we can never hear each other very well. We still have the 6 dates for the 9th but this week lots of them will fall for lack of lessons and that like no one is married. But we are hoping that we can at least baptize 1 or 2 the 9th because that would just be awesome and would be sweet to have the first baptisms in the history of Tlapacoya. And we would even baptize in a river so we will see what happens. Keep them in their prayers especially one named Albertina who will probably get baptized the 9th. 

Also cool story. We were talking with Hno. Delfino the other day and when we went out to Tlapacoya the first time there was an old woman who was pretty sick and we gave her a blessing. He told us on Tuesday (her name is Antonia) That she totally healed and told him that she knows this church is true now!. The priesthood power is real. 

So I talked the last week a little about Janethzi. SO i have come to the conclusion that in this area the dads here are just little bums and want to take everyone's agency away. SO needless to say we went one night and she came out and told us that her dad said that they could not listen to us anymore!. It kinda destroyed us but hey......all is well because we found a golden family yesterday. So on Saturday I contacted a mom and her 4 kids and they totally gave us there direction. So yesterday we went over and they were totally ready for us. There names are the Family Cruz. The mom and dad are in there late 20s and have 5 kids. 2 of them are older than 8. So we had a sweet lesson and put dates for them for the 20th of May, because it is still vacation here for the next week and they are going somewhere till next Sunday night. But they are incredible, one of the most spiritual lessons that I have had. The mom was asking us questions like the requisites of baptism. It also made me think that I am starting putting dates for the last weekend in the mission. That's kinda weird. 

I got to go on divisions with my boy E. Page on Tuesday. Just like old times. It is pretty fun and we still had the good rhythm together. I don't know but my comp right now is just an interesting little guy and always tells everyone that they can disobey God and he will still bless us. I always tell him not to invite the Inv. so sin haha. 

We got some more Inv. this week wanting us interpret dreams. So Ive learned in this situation to use it to our advantage and right now our biggest challenge is having Inv. come to church. So this week all the dreams meant that God was telling them to come to church and it is sooo funny because it just seems to make so much sense to them. #dreamman

I cant believe this week is conference. The last 6 months have passed by so fast. Dad, I will get to watch conference here and am pretty sure that we will be watching all sessions. So dont you worry, we will be watching priesthood together just like old times. I just hope I can figure a way to watch it in English cause its just not the same in Spanish.

Also, I talked to my old companions yesterday in Alfa and Jose (the young man of the less active family) and the family of Miguel Angel were all baptized!!!!! I'm sooo happy. I still remember whem me and e. Henderson contacted Miguel Angel outside his house drinking. This gospel truly changes people.

Tha'ts about family. I have 8 more weeks. I am so happy with what we have done in this area in 4 weeks and there is still so much more to do. Finish strong, 3 minutes left. (lets just hope I dont choke like I sometimes did in ball hahahahaha) dont worry, it wont happen. Love yall
