On Tuesday we went to Viña and Elder Robbins had a conference with us..the WHOLE MISSION! And it was loco. It was the first time that we have all been together since Presidente got here! The conference was so great! He did it like a question answer kind of thing, so it was great to receive counsel personally for what we needed as a mission. And AGAIN, I received such a powerful witness that President Kahnlein is called of God to be our mission president. What a blessing! I swany, he´s gonna be a member of the Seventy one day!
Also, I finally saw family Schramm! She was reading every nametag trying to find me for mom!
And the miracle of the week is... (backstory) we have been in a rut in the work. And honestly, it´s been pretty hard to find people, especially people that wanna progress... and thus el animo has been difficult to retain also. We prayed, and worked, and fasted, and worked...and prayed again, but something always seemed to happen with our investigators. And this past week was the last week that we could find people that could potentially be baptized in June. And so after a cambio (transver) and a half without many frutos,(fruits) we tried to kick it into gear this past week and on Saturday at 8 o´clock at night, we ran into our bishop and he said, "Hey! I´ve got a reference for you". Turns out, that a girl had gone to the church website, looked for la capilla (chapel) nearest her, and the bishop´s number was on there too, so she texted the bishop and asked if she could attend church on Sunday. Obviously, he send yes! Haha So we passed by her house on Sunday morning and walked to church together; she cried during church cause she had such a great experience; we went to her house later that night to teach her; and she accepted a baptismal date for the last day of June!!!!! When we prayed for a miracle, we had no idea that she would quite literally fall from heaven and into her baptismal font, pero BUENO! Hahaha. WE were almost crying we were so happy. I felt like los pueblos in the Book of Mormon..when they literally couldn´t go anymore and in THAT moment was when the Lord blessed them in abundance. But...yep.
OH! Also something about Katy (the chica), a few weeks ago we felt prompted to knock her street, so we knocked and knocked and knocked and then we realized that we were late for an appointment, so we said "we´ll knock until the white house and then we´ll go".....and guess what, we found out who lives in the white house?? KATY! The miracle girl..hahaha. We were like WHAT!! Pero bueno. We didn´t find her, so she came and found us! And all´s well that ends well!
***I had to use a Spanish-English dictionary to write parts of this email cause I couldn´t think of the words..or how to spell them...hahaha how sad! I don´t know if thats good or bad honestly.
-Mom, I´ll write the letter for Matt and Kimber and send it next week! And sorry, no photos cause my companion is using my camera today.
-I can´t believe that Tory graduated from high school!! Que loco!
Have a great week!! Have a wonderful trip to Utah and preparing for the wedding and all that jazz. Love you all bunches of honey oats!
I pray for y´all todos los días.
Love always and always,
