Oi! Primero, Thank you Mom for the package it was a nice surprise and I loved it! Thank you very much!
Well, this week we didn't have a car again but it was good we got to talk to people on the street. This week we had an open house for the church building to give people tours of the church. We invited as many people as we possibly could. The day of we had a member drive us around to give out more flyers but it started raining hard so no one was on the streets so we just stopped by less-actives houses.
A huge milagre that happened was this family we had door knocked into came to the open house. Let me tell you about this familia. A few weeks ago we were door knocking and I heard spanish music and so I told my companions we had to go talk to those people because latinos are more receptive to the gospel anyways. So we went over there and the whole family was outside. The dad was from Honduras and the mom was from mexico. The mom didn't really talk to us too much but their kids loved us (win the kids over, right!) . They have a daughter who is 12 another daughter who is 10 another daughter who is 7 and a son who is 3 and his name is Marcel haha. The parents names are Juan and Maria Hernandez they even told us it was a typical hispanic name haha. Well there is a family in our ward who is Mexican and I had called them that morning to come in case this family came. Good thing because this family just got baptized a year or so ago and the brother went with me on the tour with this family so we could speak spanish. The daughter loved what she heard about young women's and the mom liked that it was very family based. Well by the end of the tour the mom opened up and was excited and took a spanish book of mormon! We are meeting with them this week they want to start coming to church! Such a milagre! IT was awesome! But that was the highlight of the week pretty much. It is the strangest thing. When people are speaking spanish I can understand almost everything but then when I go to speak spanish it just comes out in Portuguese. But when people speak to me in Portuguese I still struggle trying to understand what they are saying. It's weird.
Well, anyways we had a zone training this past week and it was all about faith to baptize. We are advised to study faith for at least 30 mins a day.
I have one funny story to tell that also happened earlier this week. We went to visit a less-active and she has 6 dogs! one of my comps dog died this past week so she was snuggling with one of the dogs and their other dog just jumped on me and laid on my lap. Well while we were talking to this lady I saw a flea jump on my arm, I am thinking oh great these dogs have fleas. So then we finally leave and my comp starts freaking out, screaming we run to the car and while we are in the car she finds two fleas on her so we are panicking. None of the members are answering us. Finally one called back she is our ward mission leaders wife haha well she just starts laughing at us and looks up stuff online that we could do. So we head out to the grocery store but we see cars at church so we pull in and the member we were looking for walks out we call her over she tries not to laugh too haha, but she said we can come change clothes in her garage. So we go to the store and by flea powder and poor it everywhere in the car and change in her garage. And somehow still managed to get home by 9:30 well the next day we were giving the car away so we vacuumed it out and found 2 fleas hahah.... it was a mess but we cleaned the heck out of the car and so I am pretty sure we got em all. The sisters who have the car now said they haven't seen any fleas but weren't too happy about what happened. But hey my area is pretty ghetto so it's not our fault.
Any way that was a crazy day!
Well, I hope all is well! Te amo!!!
