RIGHT PLACE RIGHT TIME



¡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.
