Week 16 - Two small miracles

This week was pretty good. It was kind of slow which was a bummer. We've been finding a lot of new families to teach. One family is the family of Eduardo (Lalo) And Lizeth. They are super awesome and we feel the spirit so strongly when we teach them. They are prepared for baptism.. they just need some help knowing that they're prepared haha. But they're awesome and we're excited to start working with them.

So I saw two pretty cool miracles this past week. One of them was kind of small and a kind of missionary sounding miracle but it was still sooo cool to experience. So on Wednesday we had dinner with a less active member named Lupe Biez. She works a ton. So not really to our surprise she had to cancel dinner because she'd be working. We were just kind of like, "Well..looks like we'll be hungry tonight," but not really giving it anymore thought than that. We walk down the street and a less active super nice lady Sister Sol pulled up and said "Hi." We said, "Hi" and asked her how she was doing. She said good and then asked us the most random question: "Hermanos, ?Quien tienen para cena hoy?" Or Brothers, who do you have dinner with tonight? We, being shocked answered, "actually nobody." She then invited us to eat with her with a big smile on her face. It's small but it was really incredible to realize how much God is looking out for us as missionaries!

The second is crazy. A man called us out of the blue on Saturday named Jessi. He told us that he was going to be trying to come join the church and would be at church on Sunday. His mom is a member and he felt that he was ready to join. He is about 30 or so and he came to church on Sunday. He has schizophrenia and said that we made him feel comfortable and he was willing to come back and he was ready to be baptized. Wow. The Lord just sends willing people who are ready. It's insane. 

I have been able to gain such a testimony of eternal families as in a different way. I have seen the opposite side of the spectrum. I see almost every day families that don't have the gospel in their lives at all. It is probably one of the saddest thing I've seen is just the way so many people live in this world. I seriously don't have any Idea how they do it at all. It seems impossible to go through this life without it. That's why I thank Heavenly Father for giving it to me. I seriously can't quite express in words how much I have come to love this gospel. It truly is the only important thing in this world. I know you tried so hard to tell me that all my life Mom and Dad. Boy, do I wish that I would have listened a little more intently. It truly is all that matters. Once you realize that you realize how amazing and happy life can be once you put the gospel and Heavenly Father first. 

I love this gospel and I love y'all. Miss y'all and hope that everything is going great! 

Love,

A cake we made for our "Madre." She is awesome and helps us out so much. She's like our mom here in Lindsay. She takes care of all of our dinners and everything. Her name is Sister Avina. She's a 56 or so year old little mexican lady. She's the best. It was her birthday so we made her a cake.
