I’m not sure if the word lluvia is spelt right I hope it is. This week was a wet weekend about 3 days of straight rain and I was a happy missionary but not just cause of rain but because we had some great progress with our investigators this week.
First I have got to tell you about Carlos. So we have a list of all the members in the area and we had passed by a house once with a girl that is called Carla. She seemed super nice and receptive and one day we found the husband, Carlos, working on his car outside so we talk to him a bit and he seems a bit cold at us. So later on (3-4 weeks later) we set an appointment to come and teach them two of them. We go by and visit and it’s just Carlos there. He is so receptive he listened. He made comments and had such a desire to learn more. So we teach him lesson one then set another appointment to come back later and meet with him and his wife together. So we come back the next week and just he is there and turns out his wife (the less active) got upset at him for talking to us and wouldn´t even talk to him if he brought it up. She even took and hid or threw away the pamphlet we gave him. But he still wants to learn more about the gospel he asked us to please keep teaching. Then in the closing prayer he asked heavenly father to soften the heart of his wife so that she will listen and accept again the gospel. And he is not even a member! How cool is that! I love that guy.
Pamela is progressing really well. Her daughter is also doing amazing. We gave her a book of Mormon about 3 or 4 weeks ago and she is now in 2 Nephi 24. She is doing so good and the whole family has fallen in love with the Book of Mormon. Pamela is meeting with the bishop more and the whole family is ready to make the temple there goal.
Sadly though, we didn’t get to meet with Ramón for about the last 2 weeks. We have lost contact with him and we have no idea why. So we are seeking and praying hard for him. We have found a lot of new people this week. One is family of less active members with about 4 generations living in the house, which is amazing. We are seeing a lot of people and progress we are looking forward to another good week this week. Even as the Chileans have been praying for rain and the lord open the heavens, his did it with us answered our prayers and has open up doors to us.
I hope you all have a great week and that you all can see the lords hand in your lives I promise that it is there for us ready to help.
