Week 61

This week was good and bad lol. I mean it we had some awesome miracles, but also some very stressful situations. 

Wednesday we had transfer meeting. Although Elder Karlinsey and I are staying the same we as Zone Leaders we are asked to go since there are changes in our zone. Nothing to crazy happened, we just have 2 brand new sister missionaries in my district. They are pretty cool. 

Afterwards was pretty good, we had AMAZING FOOD! We had Tacos de Carnitas (shredded pork) and they were absolutely bomb!!! I couldn't get enough of them! Then she made us Choco-Flan! OH MY GOODNESS it was amazing! it basically is chocolate cake with Flan (I dont know how to describe it) on top. She is a baker and it definitely showed! :) then we taught the guy with all of the chickens after. Then we help one of our investigators move everything out of her storage (Kinds stressful lol). Then we got randomly fed again by another family that night!

Then Thursday was an extremely nuts day (good and bad)!! We had an appointment with an investigator in the morning and she wasn't there. So went around trying to find some people home, no one was home. Then we both had the feeling that there had to be someone that needed us at this specific time, because we usually don't visit people in the morning. Then i had the prompting to visit Carolina a referral that previously wasn't interested. I thought it was weird, but we decided to go for it. Ended up being that she gave us 15 mins to talk to her, but at the end she prayed and started crying. She told us how this morning she was praying and didn't know what path she should go down in her life...then we showed up... yeah THE CHURCH IS TRUE!! hahaha

We then visited another golden investigator named Crystal. She she is awesome she is trying to reactivate her future in-laws and she wants to get sealed after she is married and baptized. so we were teaching her then we asked her if she would get married on July 18th then baptized the next day and she said yes!!! She also came to church this past Sunday and asked the Bishop to help her get ready to be married! She did this all on her own to! 

Then we went and visited the Garcia Family, the son just got baptized last Saturday :). Elder Karlinsey and I were on splits and i was teaching their son Edgar and his Girlfriend Yutzue, they are the 16 year old couple with the baby that I gave a blessing to while I was in Hillcrest, remember? Well she completely opened up and talked about how she wants to get baptized and married so that they can be the best example for their baby. She also committed on getting baptized July 19th!!!!! 

Now here is the extremely stressful part... During that lesson with the Garcia family... The bishopric counselor and EQ counselor came by and spoke with the parents during our lesson. Long story short, the 2 of them convinced the family to change everything about the baptism all because it wasn't announced in ward council or in sacrament meeting. The reason why is because they didn't read the form that had all the baptismal info in the ward council meeting. They also were interrupting our lesson by pulling us off to the side, all while Yutzue is crying and bearing her soul to me, and accepting a baptismal invitation. UGH!!! anyways it all got fixed! And we talked to the 2 guys and we are all cool now. but that was freaking stressful out the WAZOO!!
