¡Hola! Well this week was an amazing
week. The first thing I want to talk about is what happened last Wednesday
night. Me and my comp had a crazy experience.
So Wendnesday night our cita had fallen as they often do, so we decided to go
visit our less active named Octavio. He is a super cool guy. We go by his house
and knock and knock and no one answers then as we walk away my comp tells me to
call them. We call and Octavio’s little daughter answered and said ´´Elders can
you come to my house, my dad passed out. So we run back. Carolina (the
daughter), lets us in and there is Octavio on the ground having trouble
breathing. We try talking to him but he doesn’t answer. We could tell he was breathing but nothing
else. So we call the ambulance and as we do, he begins to shake on the ground
like he was having a seizure. We tried to keep his head from hitting anything. He
then calmed down and was knocked out, just breathing and heartbeat. My comp
stayed with him and I ran down stairs to get his wife. Then we waited for the
ambulance, which was the most painstaking hour and a half wait of my life. That’s
right AN HOUR AND A HALF for the ambulance to come and Octavio lives literally
5 block from the hospital. Well after a few calls, trying to guide the
ambulance here they come but by then Octavio was better he was sitting up and
it okay. They talked it over with the medics and they said it was probably
caused by stress. and they left. truly the lord had put us in the right place
at the right time. if we weren’t there I think that would have turned out a
whole lot worse. the spirit works in small ways just a whisper. ´´hey call
him´´ to my comp made all the difference
It’s amazing the things the lord
will have us do if we listen to his spirit. that was the most shocking thing of
the week. we also had a chance to help out Octavio later on paint his walls in
his house.
Sadly Hermano Amigo is still drunk,
we haven’t found him sober yet in 2 weeks but we are praying for him. his wife
Eliza is as strong as ever. we continue in the search for new people we have
found some great ones. Walter ( I don’t know if I talked about him last week)
he is really progressing he was someone who wanted nothing to do with churches
but on Saturday when we passed by he was excited and ready to keep
learning. I think great things are going to come from him. it’s been great not exactly
and easy week but when things are hard they become so much more meaningful I
hope you all have a great week and keep on keeping on.
