Seriously. Such a beautiful week :)
Well, to start off, Monday we had a family home evening with a member's family, familia Cachiguango, who brought 3 friends and they were all so interested in the gospel!!! The Spirit was sooo strong and open, one of the girls was just crying, She was so happy to hear of this message :) another one, we actually found out that he was baptized when he was 8!!! WUT!! ha ha, that was an amazing night. We taught about the restoration and it was just so awesome. :)
I love my mission.
Tuesday, we were walking to an appointment, but there was this house that had MY FAVORITE ROMANIAN HOUSE MUSIC playing on full blast, and I was completely distracted and was like I HAVE TO FIND OUT WHO IS LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC, so we contacted the house, not even caring that there was a big dog sitting at the door, and that's where we found GINA!!! OMG. She is 20 years old and amazing,. but it was sooooooo hard to talk to her while the music was playing because I was all calm on the outside, but on the inside I was dancing like a maniac, worse than at Marcy´s wedding. Ellen knows. She has such good questions and is so excited about the Gospel too!! :D She seriously is asking all these questions and we're like.... omg this is amazing. we are so happy!!! she wasn't able to attend church yesterday because she was at a wedding, but this week we gone be all up on her!! ha ha
Wednesday... wellll Wednesday we were walking along the side of the freeway like everyone does here all calm and what not till I tripped on a rock. I played calm and all but it hurt..then I was like that's weird, my foot's all wet and i didn't even step in a puddle... so I looked at my foot and my big toe exploded, hahaha whoops. good thing we were on our way to a members house. We arrived and I was just dance walking to somehow not scare the people of the trail of blood that I was leaving on the side of the freeway (Ha ha I don't know how dance running wouldn't attract attention...but I was losing blood. I wasn't thinking clearly ha ha) we got it all cleaned up and everybody was happy and comfortable :)
OMGGG Friday, so we had a cita (appointment) fall through and we tried contacting, but it just wasn't working for some reason,. and so I looked through my contacts list and decided hey lets call this lady, familia Torres Gonzales,- that we met while helping familia Quinchiguango with Englsh1- so we did and the signal didn't go through very well and it was all staticky. Then, we contacted a bit and called again, and they were like COME OVER! and so we did and omg, I was like dying because where they live is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. its amazing because their house is so humble, just a box with pieces of wood to sit on and as a table, etc but the scenery was absolutely gorgeous! I was almost cryng it was that pretty, but pictures couldn't capture the beauty :( and they are a miracle family for us, they want to know all about Jesus Christ and have been prayng and CAME TO CHURCH AND STAYED ALL THREE HOURS!!! and they are sooo happy!!! OMG. if I had more time to write. but we taught them many wonderous things and then they offered us coffee and we were like....oooo.... and so impromptu taught the WOW too :)
Saturday, we had a service project in the morning. It was so funny! Never trust "aquisito nomas" (just right over here). it literally means, "just have to hike the mountain and cut through the jungle to get to the house, so that is what we did. We went "allisito nomas" and had literally hiked this fatty mountain, and literally cut trough the junlge to get to this field where we picked peas. OMG. haha we all got there sooooo tired and sweaty!! hahaha
Then, we were able to see familia Torres Gonzales again. We taught the gospel of Jesus christ and the children are so alert and want to know more and we invited them to be baptized on friday, and they were all so happy and excited!! :D and sooooo we are so happy :) That day, we were hearing a lot of things from contacts and less active members about the members of the church in their community being judgmental, etc. you know how it is when .. idk, it was just sad. like.... some of the people haven't yet realized that this church is not a special club, this is Christ's church and He wants everybody in it and EVERYBODY has their own problems and weaknesses, so that night we started a fast to try to help the ward and some other beautiful things. :) we stepped outside, and contacted the dad of an investigator that we have. She is a referecence from the Cachiguango family and wants to come to church, but she needs the permission from ther dad, and we found the dad, but of course, he was drunk and .... drunk people are more sincere. he was talking all about the church and what he wants and all these things and we tried to help him the best we could, but we had to go. Not much was being done, he was tying in like chairs to guatemalan rabbits, like nothing made sense, and then.... hahahha this makes me laugh. We found a member family walking. and it was sad for me because we had heard a lot of sad/bad things about them that day, and IT WASN'T ME!!! the Spirit like.... really reproved and then edified them. hahaha and we left and i just started laughing and was like... i don't know what that was... and she was like... yeah I got so scared. I was like "oh man hna Tangedal is going to go off on them!!!" hahhaa but no! it wasn't me, because I don't even know how I came up with the things that I said. Well, it was good.
And then Sunday. Sunday, just a week of miracles. dauny, we had the Torres family and they don't speak kichwa. They came to church and we were just praying that the meesages were going to be in spanish, and what... THEY WERE!!?? And one of them was ....exactly what we were fasting for,. ha ha it was so awesome :) then we went to our classes and the spirit was just so strong and man, the kids loved church, made new friends, and someone gave them a mini hymn book as a gift! :D they are so happy and still have a baptismal date!!! man. fasting and praying and consecrating yourself to the work brings miracles!! :)
Guys, the Gospel is true!!! so happy. remember faith with doubt DOES NOT EXIST. have faith:) miracles will come :D
Me and my comp were walking to church.- its so pretty!! omg.- Haha a man was walking by, was like sisters!! you going to church!!? us, yeah we are! and he offered to take one of my bags of dirty clothes, so he took it, and then he left and disappeared. and we were both like wow what a sweet man. who is he? and I was like.... oh no I thought you knew him .. and she's like I thought you knew him... hahaha and then we were like... well he might have just stolen my dirty clothes. hahahahahaha but nah we found the bag at the church!!!
