¡Buenas tardes! ¿Como estan? I cant believe how fast this
week went by! its just crazy! I'm already half way done with training! I
just can not believe it! time flies when your having the time of your
life I guess.. So probably the highlight of this week was on Thursday
when we had an activity at the church. We watched Ephraim's rescue and it
went awesome, although no investigators showed up and that was the whole
point of the activity, alot of members showed up and had a very
spiritual experience! I don't know how many times i´ve watched this
movie, probably 30 times, but there was just something about this time
that the spirit was just so strong! it was the first time that I got
teary eyed! My companion said the same thing, that there was a different
feeling this time then when we first watched it! a bunch of the
members, yesterday, were saying how beautiful of a movie rescate de
ephraim was! A funny story that I don't know if I told you about but when
the package with Ephraim's rescue first arrived and when we first watched
it, in the part where Ephraim says, "lord, I ask that a buffalo be put
before me" Elder Montiel prays, "Lord, I ask that a pizza be put before
me" then opens his eyes.."dang it" I laughed so hard because this kid
seriously loves pizza and his Mexican accent just made it so funny! It
reminded me when we would do that at the cabin, "Lord, please put a deer
in front of me" The next awesome part of the week came
yesterday! Its been pretty tough not having any of our investigators
progress and we really thought we were gonna have Jose come to church
because he promised us the night before and we even showed him where the
church is because he gave us a ride. (mom he really wants to see
pictures of me in new york BTW) but yesterday, we stood out there
waiting and he never showed up... That's 5 weeks in a row with out any of
our investigators in church! And I really have been praying sincerely
for success! So later yesterday night, we went down there to see what
happened. and he just made up some dumb excuse that it was his
girlfriends fault. and then we talked about NFL haha but as we were
talking to him, we got a phone call saying that one of our investigators
was waiting for us at the Church! WHAT???? WHO??? we sprinted to the
church, and Rocio was sitting there in a branch fireside!! we´re like
what the crap is going on! she told us that instead of going to her
church she wanted to come to ours! Lucky they were having a fireside at
that time! We then gave her a tour of the church, with a member who is
the same age as her!! It all worked out perfectly!! Rocio is 21 and I
think my companion has the hots for her.. don't worry i walked in between
them the whole time;) anyways, it was just a awesome feeling! To
finally have one of our investigators finally show some progressing!!
