OUT OF THE WOOD WORK



This week was an amazing week. I really though it went well. This week we didn’t have any huge increase in numbers or anything, but people just seem to come out of the wood work today. We found people as we were just walking to our next appointment. One we were walking by a mural of colo colo (a soccer team) and we started talking to the people next to us about colo colo and we end up finding out that they are baptized members and we got to set an appointment with them. Things like that happened all week this week. it was amazing.

We got to meet with Karina and teach them a bit about the Book of Mormon using the pictures that come in the book itself.  We also had a great chance to meet and teach and set a baptism date with a man named Agusto. He is really great he has been down here in the city for 6 months. He was talking with other elders in the north a while back but had to move. We found him doing contacts and he let us in and talked with him one day. The next day we came back and set a baptism date. We are really hoping that he will progress well. I fully believe he can. He is a great guy I’m looking forward to getting to know him more and more. Over all the week was going good.  

Then came Sunday. for some reason Sundays are always harder for us. But this Sunday we thought for sure would be better than the others. The day was full of appointments. Well we finish lunch and everything begins to fall.  Everything! We did not get a single lesson. But the lord was with us this day. I could feel him walking beside us. As we were going around trying to visit with people we ended up passing by the house of Miguel and we talked with him a bit and then came out his girlfriend and she started talking with us too. then she started asking questions about the church and was super interested. We set another day to come back cause she couldn’t talk then but as we walked away I felt such a joy and happiness it was amazing.  As we kept going and things kept falling and we keep walking, I get the idea to pull out my scripture cards I’m using and study them as we walk. I pull it out and read D&C 68:6 ´´sed de buen animo, pues y no temáis porque you el señor, estoy con vosotros y os ampararé...´´ that hit me so hard I could feel him with me even if it was a terrible day. And that is really how I think I could sum up our week for lesions and things it was not amazing but I felt the lord with us this week hold us up helping us out 
I hope you have a great week I really do and remember the lord is with us as long as we are truly giving it our all and trying our best to be strong.
