A LONG WEEK

Hola!  So this week was a long one. It feels short now that it’s over, but everyday was a long one.

 With it still being February, everyone is out on vacations. This week, more than any, we spent in the streets trying to find people to teach and it give some fruit. First of all, our investigator Sabina, came back from her almost 20 day vacations. It felt like she was gone forever!  Me and my comp were really afraid that we were going to have problems and start back all over from step one. To our surprise, she had spent the whole vacation thinking about her baptism.  She remembered and did all the commitments we had left her with 20 days ago. Now, she is getting ready to get married and that her partner can take the missionary lessons. It was amazing.

Also this week, we found Juan.  He is a new one we found knocking doors. First, when we met him he was half drunk so we didn’t think much of it. We set another appointment to come back and when we went back we where surprised to find him sober and he let us in. We find out that he is living with his partner (not married) but oh does he love her. She has been bed ridden for a year now. She can’t walk or stand but he has been with her all this time and has never given up on her. Me and my comp were super surprised by how loving this man is. We gave him the first lesson and set a baptism date with him right then- which he accepted. I’m so excited to work with him.

I do have a bit of sad news this week. Today was changes and sadly my comp Elder Dufour has left me. He has moved on to another sector after only one change together. Never have I gotten to know a man so fast. He is one of my greatest friends now and it was hard to see him go. On the bright side, I am getting a new comp.  I haven’t gotten him yet, I get him tomorrow. I’m excited to meet him. I have been called as a trainer so I am looking forward to help and learning from him as I teach.

I hope you have a great week and keep an eye out for those around you. There are many people who will need your smile your help and strength. Share what the lord has given you.
