UNO ANO
Yo super full and super fast week. A lot happened this week and we found a lot of new people to teach that are actually interested. First off though, hit a year which is honestly not that crazy. It felt great to hit a year. I feel like I have been here for a while and have learned and grown so much. Tough that I have a whole other year left, but I realized that I am going to learn just as much and grow just as much, so I'm pretty pumped about that. Trying to get perfect Spanish and a perfect accent before I go home.
So this week we did a service project for the English Academy and it was lit. Dug holes, planted trees, and had a lil churrasquito on the dirt. Solid servicio. We had to go to the mission office tho because the niños in the district had immigration. So I took the 3 to the mission offices and we stayed the night there. We did some divisions with the AP's and we got wrecked by the rain. Shoutout Nomadic tho, backpack is very waterproof. I learned a lot though from that. We just kept visiting people even though we were soaked, I wanna get the diligence of Elder Hess. Year 2 goal. Then we stayed the night with like 20 other missionaries and then my comp and all the new Kids left to do immigration at like 4 am. The next morning though we got a call from an investigator and the owner of the English Academy died so we had a funeral for the next 2 days. Super sad though, all the kids and the staff were so sad. Taught a lot of the plan of Salvation this week and it was good to give the message of hope.
Michael is progressing like crazy still. He changed his baptism date to August 31st. He has also been studying like crazy and has left a couple times with us to teach people. Bro has been helping us teach for about 2 weeks. The area is looking up and there is so much to do which has been super fun to get invested in the area.
Something amazing happened as well with Michael's mom, who at first didn't want anything to do with us. We went and visited them and we shared the Book of Mormon with her. She had questions, and all the right questions. Where, what, why and then most importantly how can we know if it's true. We explained and answered her questions and it went well. She asked though, what else have you taught and how have you taught it? She said “My son Michael has never taken interest in churches and has gone to about every church there is. He has changed so much in the 2 weeks that you have taught him. How did you convince him to go to your church?” So after that we explained the HOW we can know. We explained that we literally have done nothing besides testify and that when a humble heart listens, reads, and then prays, 100% of the time, they will know without doubt that this book and this church are true. She turned quickly and understood and I'm assuming felt the spirit. She told us she wants to be taught and read the Book of Mormon and pray about it. Insane miracle that I knew would come eventually, but it came a lot sooner than I thought. If I stay another transfer, stay tuned, Michael is gonna baptize his mom and little brother fs!
A lot of other great things happened this week and we can only give credit to the Lord. Love you all and I want all of us to be like Michael. HUMBLE enough to learn. Miss you all and I'd love to hear from you guys!
