How is everyone up North? Hope you had a super exciting week! To our much surprise, we did! As anyone who has served a mission in Latin America can testify, Semana Santa is probably the worst week of the whole year (maybe only beat by when the fair comes to town!) We, this week, had the double advantage of having it be Semana Santa AND with Central Park in our area, the fair was in town! So there was a TON of people who went to the coast, the people that didn't go to the coast had people from the coast visiting them and everyone else was in central park at the fair! Now, I'll let you know that I don't have any photos of Semana Santa seeing as we were running all over all week trying to find out what to do and trying to avoid the park (which at times was difficult seeing as our entire area is based around the park but hey, you do what you gotta do!). And our week went really, really well. They best week that we have had in a long time to be honest.
I won't say
that all day of every day this week we had a ton to do because such was
not the case, but the Lord works in mysterious ways and I definitely
received a testimony of that this week. Blessings came from places that
they were never expected and we were just blown away :) Most of the
week was super hard. We were looking and looking and looking and even
resorted to contacting for hours at a time (because even the members
were on vacation so we couldn't try to go get references there).
But we just went and went and went and went and looked and looked and
looked and looked and Sunday night we were very blessed. We got a
member to go out and work with us, and he randomly pulled out of nowhere
2 families that we were able to visit and teach and set up return
visits. They seem like people that could progress. We just testified of
Christ, of his atonement and resurrection and all that he has done for
us. We hope to keep teaching them in the future. We have been in major
need of a miracle and this I feel is the answer to all the prayers and
work that we have been doing. If we continue in faith the Lord will
bless us. Remember that always.
As
for our progressing investigators, they're not really progressing
anymore. Some of them we can't find, others moved away, a lot of
crazy stuff that has happened recently but with what's happened this week
we're just super duper excited about what's to come! Also, I'm in trio
again haha. The area next door to ours, one Elder had changes and his
comp didn't have a comp so we're working both areas and we have a third
comp so that's pretty cool :)= Its a lot of fun, we're working both areas and we
hope to baptize in both areas :) Life is super good, hope all is well
on the home front!
LOVE YA!
