Hello there!
This week was another good one.
Wednesday night after dinner at an hermana's house, we found
a turtle in the road and my companion wouldn't let me take it home. Just after
that, upon walking into the house I found another one behind the door (or could
it be the same one who beat us home?).
When and how he got in is still a mystery to us since the doors
and windows are always closed, but it made us laugh pretty hard. Taking our
priorities into mind, we named it Donatello, took pictures, gave it a piece of
bread, and then pushed it out with a broom. Wildlife.
Saturday we had zone conference in the morning and the General
Women's Conference at night, and both were really great. The Women's Conference
was so beautiful and it made me excited for General Conference this weekend. I
am so grateful for inspired leaders here in the mission and Church-wide.
This week we had some great lessons, found some great people, and
dropped some that weren't progressing. One night we went to have a lesson with
a 15-year-old named Jose. We were sitting outside with him and about 4 of his
younger cousins when a truck full of teenagers pulled up. After the hymn he
says, "I'll be right back", goes in the house and walks out with his
soccer cleats, hops in the truck and waves to us as they drive away. What?
We laughed really hard and asked the kids where he went and they
were all, "To play futbol, didn't you see his cleats?" Oh, okay. We
shared a message with the kids and about a half hour of waiting later we get up
to leave and Jose comes back and asks, "Oh, you're leaving now?"
Yeah. See you never. I guess there are more important things than hearing the
gospel.
Another lesson that was fantastic was with Wendy, a young mom with
a little baby. Her husband just recently left to illegally get into the States,
leaving her alone here. She hasn't had contact with him for a couple of weeks
and doesn't know if he is okay or not, seeing as this trip is always really
dangerous.
We left her a Book of Mormon the other day, and when we got there
yesterday she had read the chapter we asked her to read (WHAT?) and had prayed
(ALSO?) and knew that it is true (YESS!). It was a really neat lesson and the Spirit
was really strong. She said she would go with us to the conference, and we are
hoping she will.
Anyways, life is good here and we are doing great! Have a lovely
week!
