Hey, so this week I forgot to bring my
camera hook-up, so I’ll send photos next week!
I am happy, Life is good, and Rama 1 [Encarnacion
1st branch] is awesome (:
This past week a LOT happened.
We met Marcelo and Cynthia: So on
Wednesday we were contacting, and Hermana Martinez was like, "how about we
contact this house?" So we knocked on the door; a young man and young
woman, they both are 19, came out, super happy to see us! They started asking
us a ton of really cool questions and we started talking about the church. We
then did a prayer and shared a little bit about the Book of Mormon with them. The
spirit was super strong!
Then we left them with a Book of Mormon
and Lesson 1, the Restoration, and we asked if we could come back and they both
said, "Yeah, how about every Monday, Wednesday and Friday?" We were
shocked, but we agreed! So then that Friday we went back, and brought a member
with us. We asked them if they had read and they said a little bit, but then
they were telling us about the whole lesson 1 and part of the BOM that they
read and they had read a ton!
They had a ton of questions and the
spirit was so strong, and they told us that that Wednesday when we had showed
up, that earlier in that day they had wanted to hear the word of God, so they
went to the Catholic church but it was closed. So they walked all around town,
but they were all closed, and like right after they had gotten home, Hermana
Martinez and I had shown up on their doorstep!
How awesome is that? We have another
lesson with them tonight, we are excited!!
Then: We went and met with one of our
investigators, Bernadina, she is like 65. And then she came this Sunday to
church!!! She is scared of the water but she wants to get baptized!
Then: Gabriela and Jani, they are doing
great! Gabriela went to the store and was about to buy her coffee but then at
the last minute she put it back and bought Mate cocido instead [yerba matte, an
herb drink]. She is awesome!
On last Monday and Tuesday I was with
Hermana Gonzalez from Chiapas, Mexico while Hermana Martinez was in Asuncion for
tramites. It was really good.
Today we went to McDonalds! I never
liked McDonalds before the mission, but here it is like going home, haha. I ate
a salad and a McFlurry and we ate on the beach!!! Encarnacion has a beach here,
it is on the river. It reminded me of being in Hawaii!
All is well, Hermana Martinez is
awesome and I’m super happy!
I hope all is well up there!!!
