Mechanic Shop

Hola,

So the pictures weren't downloading, but this isn't the first time I haven't sent pictures, so I think we are all good. 

This week was very interesting. We had intercambios with La Dehesa, which is the place the Hermana Captacitadora Entrendadores are. They are hermanas who help out the hermana capacitadoras. I spent the day in a trio with my trainer Hermana Velasco, and Hermana Steed, whom I spent a little time in the CCM. It was fun being in a trio for a day, but I don't know how it would be for a transfer. We got to do service and clean windows of a free daycare center, and teach great lessons to some awesome investigadors. It was nice going on intercambios instead of having intercambios. They are much more enjoyable to go to. 

Which was also sad because my trainer is going home this next week and we had one last day to work together. Its crazy how much time passes and how much you learn in a mission. 

We had a unique miracle in my area the other day. It wasn't a so successful day and not a lot of people wanted us to be there, when we ran across someone we talked a couple days before named Connie. She's 13 years old, and we asked if her mom was home because she said she couldn't meet us without permission from her mom. She didn't seem to want us there, but we asked her if she could ask her mom if its okay if we visit. So Connie went to where her mom lived, and came back out after a while saying, "Pasen." (pass). It really surprised me at first, but we came in and the mom, named Marcia, was in the midst of piles of clothes that she was ready to donate. We quickly offered to help, and helped her fold them and put them in bags. It was great to see the change in Connie. At first she was not very interested in knowing us or letting us talk, but as we talked and helped, she and her mom opened up  and were very grateful for us for being there and helping them out. 

It was awesome and it was also great finding them. They live behind a mechanic shop and I would have never guessed someone lived there until we saw it. It just helped me realize that even though my area is small, there are still people who have never had the chance to listen to the missionaries and want to listen. 

Have a great week!
