This week was crazy! I felt like we only had one normal day to work in our area. we had P-day, but the following day we went on intercambios in La Dehesa, where the Hermana Entrandadores are. I was with Hermana Gonzalez that day, and we got to teach lessons, talk to people, and work hard. Nothing is better than a day of work and lessons! And Hermana Gonzalez is awesome. She used to live with me in the same apartment we had when she worked in the area next to mine.
We had a normal day to work the next day, so we taught a lesson and tried to find new people. But then the next day we had Concillo de Liderazgo, where we got o listen to our president and try to help out our zone. It was great. One thing I like is that I get to learn more from him (our president). He is a very inspired man. We also got to go with a member to teach a menos activo, and it was a very awesome lesson. Her grandma gave us juice, which is blended up fruit and was pretty good. And she was very adamant about her healthy juice and how it helps people stay healthy, so she gave us a bottle to take home. When we left, the member found out that we hadn't eaten yet, so she took us to Papa Johns and treated us to some good pizza.
The following day we had intercambios in our area with some of the Hermanas from Pocuro, which is the sector with the Santiago Temple. My companion for the day was Hermana Dariano, and she is from the Philippines. This is her first cambio in the mission, and she is learning Spanish. She has good Spanish too! She was awesome. We got to see a lot of miracles that day, like meeting a referral that we have been trying to meet for a long time! We had been trying to call him and pass by his house, but because his phone belongs to the house, it has been hard to talk to him. But we finally got to see him, give him a Book of Mormon, teach him a bit, and set up another appointment. I don't know how much I can teach him, because his wife came outside and started to ask us where we were from and about our religion, and he started responding. She asked if we had rules, and he answered saying, "Yes, they can't drink coffee or tea or alcohol. But I like that." Any other questions she asked, he answered, but he sounds like he likes us a lot. He has also been reading the Book of Mormon on his phone. We left them with a prayer, and they were very grateful.
We also had a fireside in our ward, and a lot of people and non-members got to come. We had a lunch with a great family in our ward earlier that day (who are going to move and I am so sad about it!) and told them about the charla. The mom told the daughter to invite her friend and he came! Along with the whole family. We also asked them for references, asking if they knew anybody who needed help. They mentioned their neighbors lost their abuela recently, and said they were very strong in their religion and were mentioning that they might not accept us. But then the dad remembered us and said, "They need to go visit them! I had a dream where the dad was doing family history for the abuela." So we all agreed that passing by would not hurt and we could help them with their recent loss.
It was a good week, despite not having a ton of time. Miracles still happen!
Disfruten su semana!!
