Week 38 - May 1, 2017


Hola mis amigos!

So this week has been pretty interesting. It was the last week of the month and we had some extra miles so we went to the far reaches of our area to visit some less-actives and members that don't usually get visited! It was a good experience! Most of the people that we saw were super happy to see the missionaries again and a lot of them are wanting to come back to the church!! We are planning how we can visit all of these people regularly since they live so far out. It will be hard but the Lord always provides a way!

Also this week we got to meet with our new investigator Jimmy. He is an interesting man.... He is willing to learn about God but he isn't too familiar with gospel terms. We brought him a Book of Mormon and read through the introduction with him. 
The last paragraph says, "Those who gain this divine witness from the Holy Spirit will also come to know by the same power that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, that Joseph Smith is His revelator and prophet in these last days, and that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the Lord’s kingdom once again established on the earth, preparatory to the Second Coming of the Messiah." 
So when we asked Jimmy what he thought about what we read his comment was "When I hear the word Messiah, I think about Donald Trump." It was all we could do not to laugh and we had no idea what to say back. He will be an interesting one to teach haha!

The other exciting thing this week was that Church was canceled because of horrible weather conditions. We had tornado warnings, rain and lightning like crazy. President called us and told us to just hunker down while it passed over. It was crazy to watch!

Anyways that was my week in a nutshell! I hope all y'all are seeing the blessings of the Lord in your lives! He loves you and knows you personally!! He will always be there for you!

Hasta luego!
