Minnesota Humidity Craze

Hola familia! 

I hope you have had as great of week as we have had!

First, the Rodriguez family is still doing great. There are some challenges because they don't have their own telephone to communicate with them and we live about 15 minutes away. We used to call their brother-in-laws phone and they would answer. Now they have our name under church and every time we call they ignore it! So the poor Rodriguez family don't know when we are trying to get ahold of them. The family they are living with is a little malicious and when they earn enough money they are going to move out! They are progressing to a baptismal date of October 11th so that the whole family can be baptized together. They were at church this past week and continue to accept all that they are learning!! Tonight we get to do family home evening with them.

This last Tuesday was going pretty slow and we were in a trailer park we are always at! It has  been knocked completely through by the missionaries before me and so we continue teaching and stopping by people who we thought had potential. Everyone else already knows us and I thought wasn't interested. We prayed for guidance of what we needed to do to see some success. There was this lady working in her yard and I had seen her about 10 times previously but thought she had rejected the other missionaries. So I didn't really want to go talk to her but the spirit very strongly impressed me to put aside my fear and go up and talk to her. We went up to her and she almost started the conversation with us herself! She wants to learn more and has a sincere desire to find the right church for her. She is very on top of it and is going to school for a psychology degree like I want to!! Her name is Christian and hopefully we can teach her more! God is truly humbling me and when we are willing to do his will we see his hand in the work! Also! Funny story...after that we were riding our bikes and my tire popped. We were on the other side of town and it was getting dark so it was going to be a long walk home. I tired to put the tire on (I don't know anything about bike tires) but it clearly wasn't going to work. Then this Hispanic man came up to me and just took the bike and said he could fix it! Holy cow what a blessing! He gave me a spare tire for the night and until I could get his back to him. We were able to talk to his family a family we have never taught! The Lord blessed me to have my bike fixed and with new people to teach. He is always watching us!!

We were stopping by a man who I have taught a few times in the past who is friends with brother woodrum his name is William. It has been VERY hot and humid outside lately and we were talking outside. All of the sudden he starts looking a little shaking and weak and pale in the face. I thought not again! Lexi had just passed out on us! Well his eyes rolled back and he started falling to the ground and he was having a seizure. It was really scary. We helped his fall to the ground but his body was all wack because he is a big man and he was seizing. (I thought he was going to take me and Hermana Rawlins out!) It was amazing how calm I was able to be I told my hermanita to get the phone out and be ready to call 911. We got his head above his heart and I went into lifeguard saving mode. Everything turned out fine and we didn't have to do cpr thank goodness. Me and Hermana Rawlins are just magnets to people have health issues on us! Hence the title Minnesota humidity craze.

Something amazing..so we fasted a little while ago with Pablo so that he could come to church. His desire is huge. Nothing is changing at work and just on Saturday he told us he has been thinking about changing jobs or telling his boss he needs Sunday mornings off at least or he's leaving. What amazing faith, I was so stunned and grateful the way God is working in him! I know that if we pray with sincerity to our Father in Heaven miracles will happen. I know he listens to us, that he is there because he is our literal father. Sometimes it is hard to see his answers and it isn't in the way we expect but if we look to the light of the lord he will guide us in every aspect of our life EVERY time. Don't ever forget to pray and that I love you! :)

Have an amazing week!
