This week was full of good moments-
1. We had a service project in our house and some members and the missionaries showed up to help us deep clean our apartment because there was no way we were going to be able to do it ourselves! It was nasty but now not so much. And we have seen a drastic decrease in cockroaches and spider bites.
2. Kathy. Kathy is one of our investigators and we werent really sure how much she was going to progress because she is SUPER evangelical. But she is super interested in the book of mormon. We have taught her the first 3 lessons and every time it surprises her how similar our beliefs are. She asks really good questions and bears testimony in pretty much every lesson. And the best part is- SHE READS! She reads the chapters we leave her and she is sincerely praying to find an answer. I am so excited to see how and when she gets it.
3. Familia A- the picture I sent in front of the church? Familia A. Eugenio is in the white shirt and tie and he is a recent convert and one of 12 brothers and sisters. 12! His mom is super catholic and it has been a hard time trying to get her to come to church but she finally came!! Along with all of the younger kids. It has been a really awesome experience watching this family progress because it has been maybe 10% us and the other 90% has been the ward members. They live in a pretty small house thats just aluminum sheets and some of the members have decided to help them build a house. So all of the members are always at their house talking details and trying to help them so that they can have a real house for the tons of people that live there. I am once again so grateful for members who honestly love and reach out to our investigators because we couldn't do it without them!
4. A few weeks ago we contacted this guy at the bus stop but we only had time to get his name and he told us we could stop by. Yesterday we had some extra time so we decided to find him. Well we found him and guess what- hes a JW. He invited us in to teach him a lesson FROM THE BIBLE, because he believes everything IN THE BIBLE, and would love to hear ABOUT THE BIBLE. Ok message received. So we shared the verse when Christ gives Peter the keys to the kingdom of God. First and last time we go to that house. They wouldn't even let us say a prayer...awkward.
Love you all! we went to the city today and there were tons of stores and I havent been shopping in 9 months so suprise you are all getting some souvenirs in the next few weeks :)
Keep doing all the good things I know you are doing, I pray for you all day, everyday,
Hermana Smith
