We are also teaching this girl named Emma. She works in a store and is 19 years old. She is really cool and really interested in the Gospel. We actually found her about 2 months ago, but since we weren't over here in Santa Anita, it was hard to see her and she wasn't as interested as she is now! Turns out her aunts are members in another stake and they came to visit and were explaining a lot about the book of Mormon and she got really excited. Also, she has been praying and she told us about how she loves it and she doesn't want to stop. She feels so much happier and she feels like alleviated :) So happy! She came to church AND she is preparing for a baptismal date the 13th of Feb :) Her fellow shippers live across the street from her and are doing a great job with her. She is going to their family home evening tonight :) I'm so happy! She even gave us the referral of her sister in law and was really excited because she is also interested :) ya ye! I love the work!
Story about why we have to follow the spirit. Soooooo we were at one of our less actives house, Evelyn, and had a great lesson on repentance. Then we finished and we were just talking about how the spirit is awesome because it protects us and impressions and how it protects us from being robbed too. ha ha, then---- we left and I thought... "hmm taxi!", but my comp was like, nah lets just take the bus, and I was like OK... so we took the bus and we were like 4 blocks away from the house and there were these two guys walking up the hill too, but like a block in front of us, and I just felt, "yup. those are the guys who are going to rob us", then I looked at the time and we had five minutes till nine, and I thought to myself, nah we have 5 minutes of protection!! but walking I just kept feeling it. until we were a block away from the house and a group of people passed us and then the two guys stopped walking and turned around and started coming towards us and I looked one in the eye and didn't feel anything good, without even thinking, I grabbed my companion and said "olvide algo" (I forgot something) and we turned around and joined the group of people that passed us by and I told them what was happening as the guys were following us and they were kind enough to let us hang with them until the creeps stopped following us. Once we were sure that they were gone, we ran to the house and were safe and sound. I wasn't scared or anything because I know that we had the promptings of the spirit and that I followed it, but my comp was really sad because she said that she felt it too, but was ignoring it and was just trying to think of hymns and good things. I told her that we have to follow the Spirit no matter what. I know that the Spirit of the Lord is with us and that we have to follow it no matter what!!! It will guide us to safety, people to need us, and to places we need to go.
I love the Lord and I know that He wouldn't be blessing me so much if this weren't His church and what He wants for me in this time. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that Joseph smith was a prophet. I also had a cool experience when I asked Heavenly father to strengthen my testimony about the prophet Joseph Smith.
I can't deny the answers that God Himself has given me. I love the mission and the decisions that I have made with my life,.
Thank you guys for your continual love and support. I can't believe the time is passing by so fast, but I'm making the best of every minute :)
Love you all!!
