¡1 año!

¿Que tal?

It´s been a great week here in Carrodilla B!!!
The main highlight of the week was finding a ton of new people to teach!!!

On Tuesday we did intercambios again with Carrodilla A, and we
definitely know the area pretty well now... although we did get lost
on friday.

On Thursday the temperature had dropped a good amount and it was
raining a ton as well!!! we went to an inactive man´s house and he has
fallen into soooo many doubts. There are lots of solid questions that
he´s had that he´s let turn into doubt and really hasn´t been using
faith. So we helped answer lots of those and he has more to come.
After that we went to an appointment that we had set up with a man we
met at a bus stop last week named Antonio Diaz. Him and his wife
(girlfriend) were way nice! The let us in and we were able to teach
them and 4 of her daughters Daniela, mariana, mariela, rosio. They all
listened intently as we taught about what we do as missionaries, how
we invite people to come unto Christ, and how the Book of Mormon, as
well as the Bible, can help us grow closer to Him. Antonio is super
super evangelista. He used to be way deep in drugs and live a messed
up life, but has changed around a lot. He used to even preach in lots
of churches. One of his biggest desires is to share the word of God
with people! Missionary! We left them with 3Ne11 to read.

On Friday it kept raining a lot! which i loved. i love the rain. We
had a few citas fall through... but then right when we were walking
away from one of those, there was a kid that started following really
close behind us and then right in front of us, and i didn´t recognize
him but it seemed like he knew us so I asked him if we knew eachother
and he reminded us that we had talked to him and his grandma in the
street last week!!! His name is Yail and he´s ten years old and way
cool! So we kept walking with him and then asked if we could come
teach him and his grandma and he said yes, so we went and she was
really busy but we taught her a quick message about finding faith in
Christ and then left her and Yail with a Book of Mormon and a prayer
and a return appointment for sunday night. It was way cool how the
Lord put Norma and Yail in our path last week and then once again this
week! That evening we went to another ward activity (just the
beginning cause we had to get back to the pench). and one of the
sisters in our area had brought a neighbor to the activity! Missionary
dream! He´s way cool and we´re going to go by and visit him this week.

On Saturday, it was raining a lot again which is good cause I love the
rain. That afternoon we had another lesson with Antonio and Sandra and
her daughters. He had read the chapter that we left with a lot of
interest! He had some really good questions about who Joseph Smith is
and Jesus coming to the americas after his resurrection in Jerusalem,
we were able to answer his questions well and then we taught them the
restauracion. Towards the end of the restoration he had the question
where in the Bible it talks about all of this, so then we asked him
where in the Old Testament it talks about the 12 apostles that write
the new testament, and then we continued to show him through passages
in Ezequiel, Amos, and matthew and ephesians where the prophets, an
apostasy, a restoration and the book of mormon are mentioned, and then
we explained that they all can recieve an answer that these things are
true through reading, pondering and praying. And they committed to
doing just that.

Sunday was good. We didn´t have any investigators at church again, but
next week we are expecting at least 2! We had the lesson again with
Norma and Yail, who are both from peru, and so we invited our ward
mission leader and his wife, also both from peru, to come to the
lesson with us. It was an awesome lesson!!!!!! They hit it off really
well. and the Becerras (wml and wife) shared some great experiences
about how they got to know the Church. Norma and Yail are committed to
coming to church next week and we have another lesson with them
tonight!!!

So it´s been a really cool week, finding and teaching a lot. We´ve
taught more this week than last week even though this past week was
the first one exclusively in our new area. One thing we´ll be working
on doing better this week is inviting people to accept baptismal dates
and inviting members to come to the lessons. We´re excited about
everything happening here!!! I know this work is the Lord´s!!! There
is so much work to do! And i love losing myself more and more in it. I
love you all!!!
