Anyways, not too much to say. We didn't have a car for awhile so we road the bus and it was fun personal contacting on the bus this black guy sat next to me and I pretty much taught him the plan of salvation he was a nice guy. When people sit next to you they have to listen until the bus stops haha. But unfortunately one of my companions had to sit by a creepy old guy that was weird and whispered in her ear that he shot a man. Crazy stuff, Well anyways I do have my driving privileges now and so I have been driving it is great! :) Friday is transfer calls and so we will see where I go.
It was a good but rough week with investigators. One investigator really wants to learn more and has felt the spirit but her husband told her that we only see her as a number and she broke down in tears to us and we told her that she wasn't a number and that Satan is trying to pull her away from the truth. Sometimes these men just need to be humbled!
There was a wedding the other day that we were invited to and it
was weird being there haha even though it was in the church. The second
we walk into the church the lady whose grandson was getting married was
panicking that the punch wasn't made and all that stuff so we had to go
to the kitchen and make it while the wedding was going on. haha just
because we are girls I think people expect us to do other things and it
makes me frustrated sometimes because we are missionaries! haha we
cannot babysit or make food for the wedding. But whatever, asi e la
vida! So yesterday was kind of sad I am not sure if you heard about the
philipines but a member told us about it and one of my comps best friend
is serving there and she panicked and was crying. But we found out that
all the missionaries and doing well. I cannot believe the devastation
that occurred there.

| We decided to get a jumix at the Mexican store by the neighborhood we were door knocking because we had to leave because we were surrounded by cop cars and couldn't door knock anymore |
I think for the first time every we had a breakfast appointment the
other day haha.... It is because this lady in the ward called us and
said she brought home a girl from the streets and is lost and has done
drugs she wanted us to talk to her. Well we leave studies early to go to
her house. The girl had left and so the member felt bad and made us
breakfast. but then the girl came back and you could tell she was
struggling. She was 23 but looked much older. People don't even think we
look 20, word of wisdom!! Anyways, we told her that God doesn't make
mistakes and she said he does. That is when we knew there was no getting
across to her. I feel bad that she is going through this hard time and
dealing with it through drugs. There is a lot of that I see here.
Our mission president said that you can tell who the elect are by
the way they respond to the book of Mormon. That always helps me stay
focused and have the faith that if God called more missionaries then he
definitely has prepared more people to receive the gospel. It is a
continuous battle with Satan everyday and this people searching for
truth. It drains you but that is life. We will always be battling
against Satan.
Anyways Obrigada familia! Te amo!
