So this week was definitely a trial of faith! We have been finding some really great people but they all are ignoring us haha and well not choosing to progress. Its kinda sad but its okay because we know there are people prepared out there..somewhere! Our ward has been well less than helpful but I still love them. I love the people and they have such good hearts they just aren't americans! There is zero planning and everything is spontaneous. So I guess that keeps it fun and interesting :)
This week we found an awesome family!!!!! We got a couple referrals from the Elders and so we stopped by them but they both weren't home. Luckily we heard some rockin hispanic music and knocked that door. A young girl answered and let us in! Her mom is Vicky a single mother of Jasmine 14yrs. Lizbeth 11yrs. and Victor 1 1/2yrs. They are very very cute. They have gone through some tough times together but are still standing on two feet! Vicky has not liked going to church in the past because she feels judged and she still has some unhealed wounds from her past. She has been through a lot of trials and I think that has prepared her to receive this message. She hasn't let anyone into her life for a long time but she confided in us because she felt the spirit. the spirit works miracles in our lives!! We have only met with her and her family once but it was truly a miracle to find them and we are so excited for what is to come in there lives if they choose to accept the mercy of the Lord.
So the other day we pulled up to get gas and there was 1 person walking from the gas station. So I told hermana Hougaard to go get him! hah so she got out of the car and yelled "hey!" she started talking while I got gas. We got his info and were able to teach him, his name is Willian and his brothers name is Victor we taught him too. We had a really spiritual lesson and taught Willian how to pray. I love hearing people pray for the first time and out loud. Its always so simple but powerful. The power of prayer is real. I have learned about relying fully on the lord out here cause sometimes he is the only one we have! We have to pray though and go to him! Anyways Willian came to church and a baptism this week and had a great time! :)This week we found an awesome family!!!!!
