Monday, we had a noche de hogar (family home evening) with Jaqueline and her neighbors. It was awesome. I love having Family Home Evenings with them! We talked about keeping the commandments and the Spirit was really strong. They are a beautiful family. The next morning, we visited her and her sons... and they all accepted a baptismal date for the 28th of march!!! we are sooooo excited! Hna Relmuan and I are so happy for them. They couldn't come to church this Sunday, so their fecha fell, but we are putting a new one for April, 4th. It is just so amazing to see how we change and want to be closer to God :) It's a beautiful feeling being able to help our brothers and sisters.
Also....we had an appointment with Dennisse, a recent convert who hasn't been coming to church, and every time that we go over is the same thing. The machete of love and they say they are going to come, but they don't come. This time, we went over and decided to finally find her dad... aka it was like 8:15 p.m. because comes home late from work, and we testified about the blessings of coming to church and keeping the Sabbath day holy. Also, about tithes. We had a member accompanying us and she gave a bomb testimony :) It was awesome! We were so happy to have finally found the dad! :D Ya ye!!! We visited him again in the week with another member... and promised a lot of blessings... and GUESS WHO CAME TO CHURCH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME WITH HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER!!?? Patricio!!!! Dennise's dad... Dennisse came too!!! Ahhh, we were so happy!!!!
Then... Thursday, lol, we had an appointment with a guy named Alex, but every time we called, he said that we had the wrong number. bummer. but as we were in the church, we met a members cousin who's name is Alex! ha ha, and my comp was like, hey!!! We are looking for an Alex! Can we teach you!? And he was like, yeah!! So, we taught him, and turns out that he is inactive and wants to come back, and wow... it was amazing. My companion shared a scripture and we all cried. The spirit was sooo strong during the lesson!!!! :D He was so happy to have come to the Church with his cousin that night. He said that we are the only missionaries in over 8 years that have gotten to his heart, that meant a lot!!! :D He is starting to come back to church!
Then...we found a family who is really interested. The husband more than anything. It's so cool because he got really excited about the book of Mormon!! Their names are Jaime and Maria. We asked them if there was something that they wanted us to pray for, and Maria said, that Jaime proposes marriage. awwwwww! They want to get married!!! I guess this last transfer, we are going to get all of Santa Anita married!!! Ha ha. because we also found 2 other couples who are interested and getting ready to be married! It was so cool because when we met them, it totally felt like we were already friends! Ya ye for pre-mortal life friends!! Ha ha.
And the best part of the whole week!
We have been trying to find Douglas all week, but this week was killer at work and we didn't see him :( so we fasted Saturday to Sunday!! None of the people that we fasted for came to church.... BUT the most important person came to church! DOUGLAS! After trying to get to him all this week, we couldn't, and called and invited him to church, but nothing.... but he showed up! Ya ye!!! IT WAS THE BEST! We talked about the law of chastity after church and told him that he has to get married. Right before, we were talking about his problems and how he feels sad and stressed, but then we started to talk about his wife and he started to smile. I just felt so happy! :) I know that I promised him that I was going to teach him the gospel in the pre-mortal life!!!! Then, we talked about a plan to get the money to get them married and we said that he could cook lunches and everyone could buy from him. So, we proposed it in ward council and guess what? Coincidentally, they need a bunch of food this Saturday for an activity and they want Douglas to cook it!!!! Wow. The Lord is amazing. annnddd we were hungry after the fast right... and our lunch appointment feel through..but the night before, some members gave us two hot dogs in a bag and these 2 hot dogs turned out to be like 5 hot dogs and chips and everything!! It was like when Jesus blessed the bread and it multiplied!!! It was so cool. I just felt so happy. At church, we were able to get the Elders to give 2 blessings of health and the sisters who received them immediately felt better afterwards! :D Ahhhh.
The Spirit has been so strong this week. and other cool things... but too much to write. ha ha :)
I KNOW without a doubt that this is the church that Jesus Christ set up when He was here and HE HAS RESTORED IT!!! It just makes so much sense :) I'm so happy to be a missionary. My companion is so much fun, she makes me laugh all the time. Its so fun because she is direct and just teaches how it is, and the Spirit is so strong when we teaches! I know that the Spirit would not be so strong if we were telling lies. The Gospel is true and the temples are the houses of the Lord here o the earth. I'm so happy for general conference! I can't wait to hear what the Prophet says, but I just pray that he announces a temple in Quito, Ecuador!!!! :D
I love life!!! And I have come to love life through the Gospel. So if you want to love life, its through Jesus and HIS gospel :)
Love ,:)
