Monday of last week (p-day ) was way fun. we got our brand new car! We named him Einstein because he is white and Einstein had white hair and he is way smart.
we also got Thai food that was really good.
then that night we met this guy we talked to him for over an hour he was a conspiracy theorist so he was my best friend and I knew like everything he was talking about.
it was very interesting.
Tuesday we had zone conference. I learned so much! our president asked us to fast this Sunday for 4 things
1. that every companion ship will have at least 1 person come to church between now and Easter
2. that every mission will fill their "pots" to the brim and try their very hardest every day.
3. that we as a mission will have 100 baptism between now and June.
4. any missionary that is struggling will have the strength that they need to work hard and give it their all. (remember theses things because they come in to play on Sunday)
On Wednesday I drove for the first time in 105 days.
I only got 1 check your speed! we also had our first lesson/contact with Manuel! remember him!! he is the cutest lil human ever and he loves Jesus Christ so much and is looking for a church and what is true.
Then we were on our way to a lesson and we had a feeling to stop and talk to this man named Fermin (remember him as well), so we had that first contact with him, we gave him a book of Mormon and asked him to read the introduction, and promised him that the book will help him so much in his life. then we went to our lesson and it was really good.
then we had a lesson with a lesson active Saul and his girlfriend angelica who is not a member. it was such a good lesson.
Then on Thursday we had another lesson with Manuel (2 days in a row) and he loves what he is learning and wants to keep learning because it is making him happier!!
Then we went to this less active members work to try and talk to him because we have been trying to find him at his house and he is never home, so we went to his work and he was about to leave and we caught him, and started talking to him. he served a mission in new York city and his mission president was elder Rasband, he loved his mission so much and was so proud of the work that he accomplished there. we are going to keep talking with him and try to get him and his family back to church and to the temple.
then also this day we drove down this random street and we saw this guy and he waved at us and i was like I think we talked to him before and we had. his name was Erick and he was the one who saw me taking a picture of the sky and was like take a picture with me and we were like okayyyy so we did !
then we gave him a book of Mormon. Anyway we saw him again and he has been reading the book of Mormon and he loves it and says that it has been helping him so much.
then on Friday we had another lesson with Manuel (3rd time in a row) he loves Jesus so much and feels that he is coming close with him as he reads the book of Mormon. he is so wonderful and wants to keep learning more because of how he feels.
Then we had another lesson with Saul and Angelica, and we talked about the importance of families because they just had a baby and Saul was is going to take her to the temple grounds for a picnic and it was the sweetest thing ever. He also made us food while we were there, it somehow came up that I was vegan and he went into the kitchen and started cooking and it was amazing ! some of the best food I have had it was way good. they are such a sweet family.
then on Saturday we went to the church early in the morning to help set up for the fiesta! that night Manuel and his mom Maria come to the Fiesta ( that is 4 days in a row) and they loved it and all the members were so nice and welcoming, it was so perfect. at the fiesta they had professional dancer and they did traditional dances from a city in mexico there was a mariachi band (some of the members in our branch are in a Mariachi band and they travel all over playing music). it was such a fun night night!!
then on Sunday Manuel and Maria came to church (5 days in a row) they loved it and how they felt at church.
then we went and saw Fermin!!!! ANDDDD we asked if he read any of the Book of Mormon and he was like I read a little and we were like what do you think, and he was like i love it! its so good and I have been learning so much. then he asked us where the waters of Mormon were at where Alma baptized all the people and I was just thinking oh there is a picture in the front of the book that talks about that and I was thinking how cool it was that he read the captions under the pictures. BUTTTT we asked him how far he read and he was like to where the bookmark is at. it was at Alma 42 !!
that 375 pages in 4 days, in Spanish which is way longer and harder to understand!! (The Spanish version of the book of Mormon has more pages than the English version.) so to say the least we were excited!!! he wants to learn more and he said he will continue to read!!
then we had a lesson with Fabi and she is so wonderful she is progressing so much. she used to attend another church and she was saying that she feels so different when she attends our church, she says that she feels so happy, safe, peaceful and clam. it was amazing.
then we were like why was our day so wonderful and it was because we fasted and prayed. god truly does answers our prayers and he blesses us so much when we give it our all and try our very hardest.
love you all have an amazing week
