ONE GREAT SUNDAY

¡hola! This week was great hard but great and it ended super great too. To start it was fairly normal we made good progress with our investigators. We found out for sure this week that our investigator Andres was baptized a long time ago but his girlfriend is not and the last couple lesson she has been participating more and more. They both have a great desire to learn and they are starting to see what blessings this gospel can bring. Saturday was a big day we had a lesson with Jacob that day and he told us that he has been sick for a while and has been having a problem with his job but he was offered another job that is better in pay and the work is better but the problem is that it requires him to work every Sunday and this Sunday especially if he did go to work on Sunday he would lose the job. so we talked to him about faith and the guidance of the lord and promised him that if he prayed and did what the spirit told him the lord would provide what he lacked. he left that night with a firm determination to do just that. 

Well Sunday came and Carlos called and said he couldn´t come to church today. Then we went by Andres’ house to get Margarita and she told us she would just meet us there. So we head to church and wait but no one comes then the meeting starts and goes like normal. Once it ended I stood up and looked around and in the very back was Margarita waving to me. She had snuck in without me and my comp knowing, and not only that, but she brought Andres’ 12 year old niece too. it was awesome they both stayed the whole time and loved every second of it.

Then to top it all off after Sunday school I walked out of class to find none other than Jacob standing in the hall. Never in my life had I been so happy to see someone at church. he told us that he prayed and felt that he should go to work he did and instantly asked if he could get Sundays of. his boss said no but gave him permission to have this Sunday off. What faith what determination he has because after we had a lesson with him and he said that he knows god can provide a way for him to come to church every Sunday and I know it to I know the lord will provide a way for him. What faith to act like he does.

Then if that wasn´t enough that night we had a family home evening in the home of famlia altembra( ignore the spelling its hard) who are both returned missionaries. We invited Andres, Margarita and they bought Elisabeth. The family taught and bore powerful testimony about the book of Mormon and the spirit was so strong. Even little Elisabeth after that wanted a book of Mormon and we gave her one. THEN it still got better so after the lesson Andres’ starting asking the couple about there marriage about eternal families and things like how they knew it was right. This is big because Andres and Margarita are living together but not married, but there was something there that night something special. I think there is a desire there, he wants an eternal family.

Over all it was just such a great Sunday super awesome I felt the spirit so strong. I know for sure that we have a heavenly father who loves each and every one of us and is setting up the path for us to return to live with him. 

I hope you all have a great week}

con mucho amor
