Week 48: Hola Todos!!

July 3, 2017

It gets harder and harder to write in english :). It`s a good thing I have Mondays to remind me about my native language. Our district leader called us last night and he asked if we could speak in english so that his companion could practice listening. It was super weird having a conversation in english. Then during exchanges a sister asked me to pray in english and I`m pretty sure my grammar was terrible, but it was interesting :D. Thankfully my Heavenly Father understands me perfectly.

Anyway, this week was amazing! I was only in my area for half of the week, but it was fun :D

After the District Meeting Tuesday we were working and contacted a man who said that his wife wasn`t home. We heard a woman talking loudly on the phone and my comp asked him "Then who`s talking?" And he said "Oh, just the crazy grandma." Then the crazy grandma came out and invited us in. I was super confused, but my comp asked, and yes, the "crazy grandma" was his wife :S. But we had a good lesson about the Restoration. :) 

The next day we headed out early and I went to Claypole to be with my part-time comps. They also have the viajeras (traveling missionaries) so we were 5 girls in the apartment. We split up to be a trio and a normal companionship :D. 

While there, we found another couple.... who are missionaries for the Catholic church :). Technically the catholic church doesn`t have missionaries, but they`re members of an off shoot (as my comp described it, they`re a protestant church that isn`t protesting :)). They believe that the apostasy happened and that authority come by the laying on of hands, but they don`t know how to receive the authority.... :). ... thankfully that`s where we come in!

After 2 1/2 days in Claypole I was able to return to my area. We met a less active who had contacted my comp and set up the appointment. She`s a sweet older woman who was baptized 20 years ago, but after a few years stopped coming and started going to other christian churches. But lately she`s felt the desire to "go back to where she was born" and return. Aaaah... she`s so sweet. 

Saturday we had lots of opportunities to teach and invite people to church.... but no one came :(. But we`ll be working even harder (And maybe I`ll have a little more time in my area :)) and have a 100% improvement! :D

It was a great week and I have lots of "ànimo" for this next one! 

Have a wonderful day!
