Hola mi familia!
Another
great week in providence! Elder Bradshaw and I are still getting along really
well and helping each other better ourselves every day. I love it.
I've
also gotten really focused into my studies this week. One thing I have really
learned is that the lord has revealed and prophesied these things, so that we
may know that he really is God. Because when they begin to come to pass, we
will know that he already told us they would come to pass 100's of years ago. I
think the main thing that has changed in me this week is that my testimony has
grown of god's love for his children and how he really is an active being in
all of our lives.
One
thing I have learned through missionary work is that the lord really does lead
us to certain places at certain times to find people who need his message. This
week we found many people who's family was all Mormon and they were either
inactive members or non-members. But they all were very insistent on having us
come back over. We didn't even have to ask for a time to come back, they set it
all up for us. It was awesome!
One
of them we found while we were tracting in a place called Cathy jo circle. It's
just this super Hispanic neighborhood that's been hidden this whole time we've
been here. So we are just living over there now during the day. But the other
day as we were knocking, we heard a guy yell "elders!" A couple
houses down. So after the door we walked over. It was a bunch of really drunk
guys, and the one that called us over has been a member since he was 9. He told
us that he's from Honduras and was going to go on a mission, but he made poor
decisions and is now living here with his Catholic wife. Although he was super
wasted, we could see through it and see his cry out for help. He just kept
insisting that we need to come back and teach him. He repeated it like 30 times
before he let us leave. So we are going to see if he's legit about changing and
the time help him get back on the path.
We
also decided to go to this random street that didn't have that many houses on
it because our whitepages told us there would be a Hispanic on the street. And
on our bike ride we passed family outside partying for Easter. And they were
bumping some loud Latino music so after the house we tried we rolled back and
started talking to them. We shared the Easter video and after we asked if they
would like us to come by sometime to share more. Then they just started rolling
out their addresses. Apparently none of them lived in that house, but it was
their mom's house. And all of the addresses were areas that we had tried really
hard before and found no one. It's weird and awesome how the lords timing
works. But guess what country they were from? Honduras again. It's like I'm
serving in Honduras right now, and I love it! One of he woman's family is all
members as well, she just never joined. This keeps happening! But they all
wanted us to come over later. So we set some returns with them.
This
week our less active that we have been working hard with for 3 transfers told
us he wanted to come to church. And he showed up 20 minutes early too! It was
awesome, and the lord was so happy to see him back.
That's
the gist of the week! The work is moving. Transfer calls are this Saturday and
from what president has told me, anything could happen. So we will see!
Love
you all! Have a fantastic week!
