This week has definitely been one of the hardest of my whole mission.
So we started out this week with almost no investigators, so we decided we should probably spend some good time finding and OYMing. Problem was, the other sisters were on a tracting spree because of a zone OYM goal, so a lot of our area has been tracted really recently so no one is giving us much of a chance. We've been trying phone OYMing, but that hasn't proved to be very effective either. But we had been getting referrals and having a few lessons! But....they all ended up being out of our area or spoke English. I'd really been trying my hardest to be exactly obedient, and be worthy of the spirit, but we were just having no luck at all! We were doing our best to not be discouraged by the few lessons we were having and lack of new investigators, when our ray of light appeared just yesterday evening! We stopped by an investigating couple we hadn't been able to get in contact with for nearly a week, and they were home and they only had a few minutes, but we talked about the Book of Mormon and it was really powerful, and we invited them to be baptized right then and there! It just felt like the right thing to do! They said they would when they know it's true, and so we gave them a date to prepare to be baptized on. And they were like "Of course! Why wouldn't we? Our family needs this!" And it was just so awesome!
But wait! There's more!
We felt that we should try a certain former in an area that hasn't seen much success by missionaries in the past, but a lady let us right in! She had been wanting to meet with the missionaries again because she had finally quit her job, and she and her husband had just been talking earlier that week about needing God to be their foundation for their family and home! So they were freaking out over that for the whole lesson! They really want it for their family and their own relationship as husband and wife and they are just so eager to learn and to accept the gospel it's so amazing! Miracles!!! Yesterday made all of last week worth it.
Well that's about it!
Oh! Weirdest thing I've eaten so far now is goat meat at Maria and Elmer's wedding!
I love you all so so much! Take care y den les cielo! (give 'em heaven!)
