Week 20

Hello everyone!
Soo this week was A LOT harder than the last week! Haha but no worries im still happy. Last week was full of miracles, and this week was full of falling appointments and people not wanting to talk to us. It was so crazy how much bad luck we had haha. One day, every single lesson fell. BUT no worries because yesterday we found 6 new investigators and are still seeing miracles :)

Fabian and Siany are getting married on the 25th, and baptized on the 26th. They have had some problems, for example she got a job in san jose and will be living there during the week. But she said she is going to come back every weekend just for church :) we explained that since Satan knows they are so close to joining the restored church he is goint to put a lot of obstacles in their path. But they both recieved their answer - they have felt peace and comfort and know this is all true. Its amazing. Today we talked on the phone with Siany (shes in san jose now) and she was saying how they wanted to push the wedding back two weeks so they could save money to buy rings. We told her that its not a good idea to push it back when theyre so ready - then she said, But we cant get married if we dont have rings right? And we said, OF COURSE you can! Then she said, Oh okay! Then yeah lets do it the 25th! hahaha. A couple in the church are lending them a dress and a suit, we are going to pitch in for the lawyer, and everyone is going to pitch in for dinner and decorations :) everything is working out great. I am so proud of the branch for being so helpful and welcoming!! Also we met with her parents and two brothers last night, and she told us today, does my brother have to be taught my the missionaries to be able to come to church this sunday? Because he really wants to come and was super excited to read the book of mormon and everything! Thank you heavenly father, for this amazing family :)
Things are going great with the new companion. Its funny because I told her my ancestors were pioneers who walked across the plains and she could not even believe it. She was like, I have heard stories of all that but ive never met someone who was related to an actual pioneer! Haha so funny because we are so used to people who are related to pioneers. I told her about Emily and Julia :) And she was in awe haha. Then she said, No wonder you can run around all day and never get tired!! Hahaha meaning because i have ancestors who walked across the US. But really heavenly father is blessing me with all the energy i have. Its crazy.

So our zone was the highest baptizing zone in the mission for september! Woohoo! We had a zone meeting this week and we talked about working with the members. Members from the branch in Liberia (where our zone meets) came and we practiced talking with them about how to share the gospel with others. Everyone help the missionaries! We need it. Its insane how much more successful missionaries are when they get references from the members. Any one at all who you have in your mind, give the missionaries their info! :)

One cool thing that happened today: We were running out in front of our house, and after we were finished we saw a woman sitting out on her porch in front of her house. Here was my thought process; maybe we should go talk to each her. Nahh were all sweaty and gross, we can just do it later. But what if shes not out later? Maybe we should do it now...nah later...ok in case the spirit is telling us to go talk to her we will go talk to her.

Haha so we went to talk to her! And she out of the blue invited us to go on a hike with her next week and said we can come visit her tommorrow! Soo ya never know what can happen :) Everyone just follow your thoughts! Because if it cant hurt, its probably a prompting from the spirit.

Well im out of time, until next week!!
Love you all :)
