Get that corn outta my face!
So for almost a month now I have been praying pretty specifically to be able to find any people that are praying for some help or to know the truth or anything like that. Last week we were running late to our lunch appointment to which we were bringing a few investigators. We were in a hurry and as we walked past people I would greet them with a buenas tardes but we passed a bus stop and as I said buenas tardes to a lady she looked at me and greeted me back something about her caught my attention. But because we were already late and had Dania y Xochtl with us, I put it in the back of my mind. As we kept going at our brisk pace I thought of this woman again, but then put this thought away when Xochtl asked me a question. About five minutes later we arrived at the comida and as we knocked on the door, I realized the woman from the bus stop had followed us all the way here. I asked her if she was the woman from the bus stop and she said yes and then asked if we were Jehovas Witnesses, I told her no and said we are misioneros de la Iglesia de Jesucristo de los Santos de los ultimos días. She asked if we had books or pamphlets and if she could buy one... I laughed and told her that we give them away. I reached into my backpack and was going to give her a pamphlet about The Plan of Salvation, but felt I should give her one about The Restoration. As soon as I handed it to her and started to explain a little about it she started crying and told me she had to go and left. I, a little shocked and confused, looked at my comp and we threw our backpacks in the house explained to the family who was feeding us what happened and ran after her. We caught her a minute before she got on the bus and put a date and time to visit her and her family. When we went a day later she told us that she had found a pamphlet of the restoraton, read it and wanted to know more. Prayed that she could know it was true, and the next day she found us, when I gave her that pamphlet, she knew her prayers had been answered. What an incredible experience that was!!!! We returned to teach her another time and everything went well.
Bad News: We showed up to visit her again and she seemed really different, reluctantly invited us inside and then told us she didn´t really have time to think about all of this basically telling us not to come back. So that was pretty weird and bien bien chafa and I felt like I definitley misunderstood what she said, but nope. Also we´re not sure if any of our 3 baptisms we had planned for April will be ready in time but they are still progressing just a need a little more time which is ok!
Good News: We started teaching the family of Alejandrina´s sister and they are all are comprehending everything well. The father declined to listen to us but after a few visits Conchita, the mother/wife invited him to to church and all 4 of them went! They are a super cool family and accepted the invitation to be baptized in May!
Oh also this week I went to the hospital to get an infection (random sores than randomly bleed) taken care of but things are already looking better. Also this week was constantly between 40C(104F) and 42(107) degrees. ¡Viva México!
You don´t need to worry about me (Mom y Caitlin) but plz keep me in ya prayers!!
Love and Miss you all tons!!!
