Week 10!

This week truly flew past incredibly fast! We´ve been so busy and working so hard to get better numbers its been great! We´ve actually had lots of success! All of our numbers have increased and we have plenty of new investigators and refrences for this week and next! We´ll see how they progress!

This week I´ve been learning more and more of how to recognize and trust in the spirit. Its been really awesome for me because we´ve had a lot more success in lessons and in contacting more people. Changing the lessons as the spirit would direct. I realized the key is that we can´t decide when the spirit will testify. We need to humble ourselves and listen as it speaks to us, then when the situation is right the spirit will come forth and testify to the hearts of these people. We just need to listen!

I´ve also had plenty of strange experiences this week that I never thought I would have in my life, let alone on a mission. Although some of them should never be spoken of again I´ll share one that I thought was really random. This drugged guy came up angry saying he was going to rob us. About to take out the money that we had in our pockets he said  disapproving "¡No! solo quiero su pluma" so I gave him the crappy pen that I was carrying and we went our way. The other experiences were only weirder!

Anyways as time goes on im only learning to love these people and this country of Mexico more and more! And becoming evermore closer to my father in heaven as I see the changes in these peoples live to better fit the example of our lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I love being a missionary!

Love you all!
