Hola Hola! It's been a great week to say the least here in the great town of San Luis Potosí! We saw some crazy sweet miracles this week! I hope and pray all of you are doing great!
To start off we put Daniela and Jose Juan on date this week!!! Milagros!! Daniela is for the 16th and José is for the 23rd! I ask you all to please keep them in your prayers and that they can be prepared to enter the waters of baptism. We found 6 amazing new people to teach this week! I want to share a very cool experience with yall. So back in Texas there was a stake president in my last area who shared an experience that on his mission he fasted to find someone to be baptized and that day someone walked into the church and wanted to be taught and was baptized! I took this to test here last Sunday. No one walked into the church or nothing on Sunday. Monday came around and still nothing happened. But Tuesday!!! We didn't have anyone walk into the church but we made a call to Maria. She hadn't had contact for probably the last 5 times we called, we called, she didn't answer so we dropped her in our area book. Later that night she called us back!! We shared a great message and set up another lesson. We have met with her almost everyday this last week and and didn't realize it until last night but she's the one! She has loved everything! We shared the restoration and plan of salvation, and is so prepared to be baptized! Sunday we taught her the restoration, she loved it all and after we invited her to church and of course she accepted. We were about to say goodbye and she was like wait when can you guys call me again?!?? I felt like an idiot when she said that hahaha but it just shows how awesome she is! We have a lesson tonight with her and are going to extend a date so please pray for her!! I didn't realize it until now but I know she's the one, the one I fasted for, the one the Lord has placed in our path to receive the blessing of the restored gospel!
The work is a grind. The progress in our area is amazing! I love being a missionary, there's nothing better! I want to share a quote with you that says " If the bitter cup does not pass, drink it and be strong trusting in better days to come" it's pretty straight forward I don't know who it's from but I can definitely say I've had my difficulties here in Mexico but I know God's plan is perfect and we are going to have difficulties here on this earth but it's how we can learn and progress, to help others, and become more like our Heavenly Parents! This reminded me of the talk in conference by budge, he said become someone for the Lord, the Lord asks we have charity for all! I don't know what this song is called but there's a part of a song I want to share with you that says "I will share my light, because I know it is right" I love this because that's something the Lord asks of us, to give our time to bless and help others! I'm grateful for every single one of you!
Love you all and have a great week!!
