Feliz Navidad a todos!
Wow, this has been an AMAZING week! I don't even know where to start! We've been getting new investigators almost every single day the past couple weeks, and the Lord has been blessing us with people to teach. It's definitely a testimony to me that He prepares people everywhere to hear His Gospel and that if we just have the faith to find them, we will! When we stay busy doing what we're supposed to and being obedient, He provides the rest and shows us what to do - who needs us. We've discovered a couple families lately that I'm pretty excited about. We just finished teaching the Wilson kids, the kids with a less-active dad, and things are looking good! They asked a bunch of questions and were really thinking about it and considering what we were teaching. What was cool is that the 15-year old daughter was telling us how she didn't really like a bunch of the stuff in her Church (she's Catholic) and I was so impressed by how observant she was! She noticed all these things that just didn't seem right, and she loves to read so she's going to be reading the entire Book of Mormon in not too long.
We talked to a lot of people and it just seemed like we seemed to come at the right time to lots of the places and were at least able to teach someone there. It usually wasn't the person we initially talked to, but hey, that's how the Lord works sometimes. We're just supposed to be at that place at certain time. We're also pretty excited because this last week we found a "Little Mexico" where it's 100% Mexicans living in all the apartments. The only problem is they work all the time, but they have Sundays off so this last Sunday we taught a few and they are way excited to go to Church! So that'll be pretty sweet.
But yesterday was the best day ever. We started off this morning going tracting and chose to start at this random house down the street. This teenage guy answered the door and totally let us in! The very first door! So we went and taught him, and hopefully we'll teach the rest of his family next week. He was way open and accepted the baptismal challenge, so we'll see how everything works out as we continue teaching.
That afternoon, we were visiting places of people we had just talked to out on the streets - OYMs. The son of this lady we talked to let us come and just teach him right there on their porch! And then we went over to this family we had talked to a couple weeks ago and they invited us for dinner and a lesson!We got to teach some of their cousins too, which was a surprise.
And then, to finish off the night, we taught the mom of one of our new investigators, to find out she had been taught 10 years ago by missionaries, and she accepted a baptismal date! We had all these unexpected lessons, and we were just super surprised and happy :)
So we're all having P-day on Christmas and we're excited to talk to the fam!!
FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!!!
