Rechezado y Aceptado en el Mismo Tiempo

Hola Familia! 

This week had a lot of ups and downs. Let me start with the ups.  We had an amazing miracle this week. So we stopped by a referral we had received and talked for a little bit because we had another appointment we had to go to. Misty is her name and she has a terminal illness she is here from Arkansas for the mayo clinic. She was already supposed to have died but mayo has kept her here longer! She invited us back to her home this Saturday. So when we were there and she was concerned because someone was supposed to be picking up a couch for her and the place was closing and she hadn't heard anything from them. We talked for a bit and then the people who were supposed to be helping got there 2 hours late. She wasn't very happy but we were able to bring the couch inside and get it all set up. After she had made dinner for us and the other people. We started to talk with the other lady who came to drop the couch off. She immediately opened up. She is agnostic and has gone through a lot in her life. She is really looking for peace and change. She didn't directly say that but I know its true. It was an amazing talk we had and we gave her a Book of Mormon and told her what it will do for her life. The next day Misty and her daughter Rosy came to church with us. (that was a miracle in itself!) At church Misty told us that after we left Rachel the lady we were talking about and she was hugging the Book of Mormon saying this is going to help me! This is going to help me change and help me stop drinking! I think it was a testimony to the both of them of the power of the Book of Mormon. It is such a great miracle because had they not been late we would have never found them and I know we were there at the right time, in Gods time. So the reason it was a miracle for Misty to make it to church is because she is on hospis. In the third hour she was really struggling we had to go to the mothers room and lay her down there. She was able to receive a priesthood blessing and it was very powerful. Such great people to teach! We also had been having a really slow week and then Friday we were knocking in a trailer park and found this awesome Hispanic family. I love how we always find people and just that week or a few days earlier they were talking about God and the questions of the soul. That is what happened with them and they were like kids come in and listen they are telling us something very important! It was awesome and I am so excited to go back and see them. They are seekers of truth!

On a happier note we set a baptismal date with David and he paid his tithing second week at church! He is so great!!!!!!!:)

This week I went on exchanges with a sister in my zone and it was my first one and it went really good! I loved the chance to learn from her. It amazing to be an example to those who are serving around me and learn from so many of them. 

Victor, our progressing investigator who I feel like I am definitely here for had a rough week this week. In the beginning of the week things were going great!! We set a date to be baptized of May 16th with him so that his friend could be there that introduced him to the church and then he prayed about it and got a confirming answer of no and that he should not be baptized. It was really heart breaking because just the week before he received his answer about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith being true. He has so much family opposition he is scared he will fall into depression from all of it when he tells him whats going on. I was trying not to cry when he was telling us but I know he will get baptized, I just don't know when. So much trust in God's timing. I just really want him to experience the blessings and joy of the gospel! 

So then the day before we heard that news Jose, the awesome one decided randomly he can't talk with us anymore. We really have no clue why but we saw him in the elevator going to visit him and he just said no, i cant talk to you anymore. It was so sad!!! The reason that it is sad is because he had already almost gotten to alma in the Book of Mormon. Its okay though. I am grateful to be okay with things that happen like that. Its because I know there is someone smarter than me who is carrying out his plan exactly how he would have it be. 

Well i love you all very much! I hope you have a great week :):):)
