The Lord Answers Prayers! (February 2, 2015)

So I heard that the Superbowl was hot. It came down to the LA Dodgers and the Miami Heat. Good job Shaq on that ace!!!! ha ha ha I think I'm crazy today ha ha, sorry I was just laughing my booty off and now I'm feeling crazy. Thank you to all the funny people in my life. you do a good job keeping me young.

This week was cool! :) Although, I felt like a bishop and a policewoman! Bishop because people feel lots of confidence when they talk to us and tell us lots of things, but we have the gospel that will help! So ya ye!  like we met this girl, Shaniquah (name changed to protect identity) and I was going to write the story, but its too much. Basically I feel like its the craziest narco Colombian Mexican novela in the history of anything. But man, I was soooo lost. People had to marry people or someone would kill someone, the mom is crazy and I'm pretty sure there's a lot of illegal stuff involved. But we're totally safe. We have at least 2 angels with us :) She came to church and loved it and asked that in the prayer she could come to church and feel this way again because she had never felt so happy :) It was really cool.

OK, but the cool stuff.

 So this week, we had an appointment fall through and we had some extra time before our next one, so we said a prayer in front of this, what appeared to be empty house, and asked where we needed to go. We felt like we should contact the empty house, so we did and Pamela, 22, and a less active member that was visiting her, received us very warmly and listened to the Restoration and accepted a baptismal date and was so excited and told us that she felt really good hearing the message. Like a peace. Then (earlier this day I had prayed that the people would be able to see the light and peace that we radiate) after that, she was like wow...you guys just radiate light and peace. I don't know, something in your eyes!... Specific prayer answered specifically?? I think so! :D

Last night, I prayed that the Lord would wake me up on time because I was dead tired and probably wouldn't hear the alarm. Well, I didn't, but at 6:30 am, someone knocked on our bedroom door and woke me up. Nobody else lives with us.- I'm convinced it was an angel! :D and I woke up so happy and rested!

Oh, question. Does this happen to anyone else? I will be sleeping and then all of the sudden I just open my eyes in the middle of the night and I'm in like suuuuper deep thought and like tired from thinking so much. I don't know how to explain it. but its weird. It also happens to my comp every night.

The pastor's assistant that we had been teaching, Galo, left us. He prefers to believe the Internet  rather than us. So, to him, we are no longer brothers, and the Mormons believe that Jesus had 3 wives and bla bla bla. ay ay ay. Thank you Internet and people who put dumb things like that on there,  but that's OK. We tried to tell him that that is not at all what we believe, but he thinks the Internet knows more than what we believe. :( sad.  but after that lesson, we went with Nestor, another new investigator and the spirit was sooooo strong in that lesson. It was so nice :) ya ye! We definitely needed that boost :)  The Lord knows what we need :)

Oh yeah, another appointment fell through and we prayed and started walking and passed a lady. At that moment I felt... contact her, so we turned around and talked to her and her daughter. They are actually really interested!" ya ye!! :D Awesome sauce! :D Their names are Zoyla and Ximena and were stoked to hear about the message! :)

Annnnddddd Gladys and Santiago. An evangelical couple who... just wanted to content with us at first, but I have a testimony and I let them know and the Spirit overpowered them ya ye! And they started to realize that they were doing something wrong contending and they asked us to forgive them, and then were saying, "you know.... you guys could be telling us the truth and we're the ones who are hardening our hearts and not wanting to live in light. maybe we're pushing away the truth to continue to live blindly" . Yeah it was cool at the end. We have another cita (appointment) with them tonight. I'm super stoked!!!

Those are just some cool things that happened this week because we don't have anyone too steady for the moment :( bum, but I know that we'll find them :) I love the mission! I love teaching the truth and I love feeling the spirit. If the book of Mormon was all a lie, it would be the biggest lie ever because millions of people all over the world have been converted by the power of the Holy Spirit, including me, and not one person in almost 200 years has been able to discredit the book of Mormon. I know that it is true. it was written by prophets called of God and came out to the world in this time to confound all false doctrine. It just depends on us if we want o listen and open our hearts and accept that we could be wrong. It brings so much happiness to my life and you are alllllll invited to read it and pray about it and ask God if it's true. He will tell you like He told me. You will feel a happiness that you have never before felt :) and then when you feel it, SHARE IT! :d

 Love you guys!!! :D Have a great week! life is amazing.

love
