Hola mi bonita familia les ama mucho!
This week was crazy and filled with miracles! I always wish you were out here with me because there really is nothing greater. I love the Lord so much and his children! Haha at times I feel like my investigators mother because I am always worried for them and just want to help them in any way possible! (especially with Gaspar) So first miracle of the week!
This week as we were striving to have more member present lessons and all of our set appointments were falling through...life of a missionary...and it was frustrating because we had members out with us. One of these days we were in Medelia, which is not a short drive, with a member and nothing seemed to be working out we had stopped by everyone and our appointments just didn't answer the door. We kept the faith though that we could teach someone even if we had to go knocking. We prayed and asked the Lord for guidance as what we should do and where we should go. The answer was clear that we needed to go to an apartment building down the road. As we pulled up a man walked out and started to smoke and I felt in my heart "he's the one". So we parked our car and just walked up to him and started to get to know him and talk with him. He accepted our invitation to go inside and talk some more. We taught him the restoration and invited him to baptism, he accepted the invitation and was at church this Sunday. So cool!!!! When we were done teaching him me and my comp were on cloud 9. It was amazing to see if we just let the spirit guide us we truly will see miracles and be the instrument in God's hands that he wants us to be!

Talitha and her family came to church all together yesterday for the first time. It was amazing to see them all walk in. She works all night and gets off at 8 in the morning so it has been hard for her not to go home and sleep (do you blame her) but this week she did it! Right now she is working on getting a desire to quit smoking. It is hard because she enjoys smoking. Who would of thought? Never the less she has cut down remarkably from a pack to day to a goal of just 5 or less a day and is reading in the Book of Mormon everyday. I know that the Lord is blessing her with a desire to stop even if it is small as she reads from the Book of Mormon. That is the power of the Book of Mormon. There is nothing truer and if we just talk 5 minutes a day to read the Lord will bless us in all aspects of life, THAT IS A PROMISE! It doesn't matter how tired you are or how much you have to do make reading the book of Mormon a priority and if you have never read it before I challenge you to. I promise it will change your life forever.
I forgot to tell you guys last week... I ate pig foot!! We were eating with Cecilia and zenita and they just brought out pig feet...toe nails and all! Oh it was awful hahah and I said no thank you I can NOT eat that. They wouldn't take no for an answer so I had to eat it. YUCK! haha its okay though now I can say I ate literal pig foot. So yesterday we were knocking on doors and ran into a man who had no shirt on and so he was standing behind his door, we asked him if now was a good time and if we could share our message and he said yeah of course! Well come to find out through the lesson as he got more relaxed he defiantly had no clothing on and it got uncomfortable real quick. Hahaha I have seen it all our here in Minn! One last thing remember Kristy? Well we gave her a picture of Jesus Christ and when we were in her trailer park yesterday she ran up to us with it and said it was hers and she loves it. It was so cute. She also started crying when we told her we only do this for 18 months, she loves us and hopefully can feel our love for her and more importantly the Lords love.
I love you guys all so much and am excited to talk with you next week!
Make it a great week.
