Week....6

This week was another good week J  Tuesday we tried to find some people that we meet before, but nobody was home.  Then we went to try and find a reference that we found in our Area book and they were home!  Her name is Justina and we talked to her about Jesus Christ, our Father in Heaven, and the Book of Mormon.  She told us how much she likes to study the Bible so we gave her a Book of Mormon and she said she is excited to read and study it!  We are very excited and we are going to go back tomorrow to see what she thinks.

This week we also met a lot with Shane.  Tuesday we meet and read Enos with him and he loved it!  He really liked verses 3-4 where the Lord forgave Enos and it made him feel good to know that it doesn't matter what sins we do in our lives, the Lord is going to forgive us.  It was a really nice discussion.  Then on Wednesday we taught him to go to church, read the scriptures, and pray always and he also really liked it because now he knows that we can’t just be praying but that we have to do these three things in order to be come closer to our Father in Heaven.  He also made the goal to stop smoking by October 3^rd! So we are helping him with this too.  Yesterday Shane came to church!  We were so excited because the last time he came to church was about 6 weeks ago.  We are so excited with the progress he is making.

Thursday we went to see if Charo was home because we always go but she is never there.  But Thursday she was there!  She told us that she was busy helping her daughter with her homework but that we could come back.  Just as we were leaving she asked if we had a few minutes and we told her of course.  So she asked us if we could help her with her daughter’s homework because she didn't understand a few things.  So she let us in!  We were there about an hour helping with the homework and talking with Charo.  And even though we were not able to teach her something we were able to give service.  And she told us to come back this week in the morning sometime for a discussion. 

Friday while we were knocking on doors we talked with a very nice man of another religion and we had a really good discussion about the gospel and God.  I love these moments when people from other religions can talk about the gospel without fighting.  Because we are all children of God and we are all trying to be better every day.

Also, Saturday we found Olga and Rene.  They were references that were given to us about two weeks ago but every time we went looking for them they we never there.  So at last we found them.  Rene has a big problem with alcohol and his mother Olga is really worried about him.  She wants us to come back to teach her and Rene because she is open to listen to anything that will help her son.  We shared a scripture with her and we prayed together.  They are a family with a lot of problem, but I know that if they let the Lord into their lives He has the power to help them.

Last week we ate with a family who at dinner asked what was one HIGH and one LOW of the day.  I loved this idea and so now we do it every day to remember the miracles that we see every day.

My plant is growing!  The picture I’m sending is from last Monday….and it is already bigger J

Yesterday we ate with our mission leader from the ward and he made us ribs!!  They were so delicious! (Almost as good as Kevin’s)

Yesterday I also shared my testimony (in English) and it was really good J

I am so grateful to be a missionary and I invite you all to study and read Teach My Gospel!  You are going to love it J  Also, remember that it doesn't matter where you are in your life but who you are with.  Always try to have the Spirit with you.

I love you all!!
