hey all yall! this week, i was able to have some really awesome experiences with some of the investigators that i have in las americas. so jesus has ben really progressing lately! we were able to have a family home evening with some of the ward members with him and his girlfriend, and the girlfriend is now super interested in eternal families!! we were able to talk to him about the law of chastity a little bit more, and he was pretty receptive to getting married to his girlfriend, which isn't normal down here. he is still kind of struggling with the word of wisdom with his beer, so if you guys can start praying for him so that he can get baptized, that would be awesome! so we were looking for some antiguos again in our sector and we were able to find two people that were actually looking for us to teach them! one girl was named maria, and she is a single mom who lives with her 3 little girls. we were able to have a little chat with her and she looked at us and was like,"so the missionaries passed by my house millions of times, but i still have one question...does god really exist? i want to know how to start believing because honestly, i am over being in the darkness." you could imagine how hard amaro and i were flipping through are scriptures to find the answer to her question. we ended up showing her the story of ammon when he was teaching the king about whether or not god existed or not. the thing that struck her was the par tin the chapter when it talked about how you have to repent of your sins, and believe that you are going to receive your answer to really know if god exists. she started crying during the lesson and looked at us and was like,"ok. lets start." we are literally so thankful and excited to help her out! ALSO SIDE NOTE, JUDITH ONE OF OUR INVESTIGATORS IS GOING TO GET BAPTIZED THIS WEEKEND, AND WE COULDN'T BE HAPPIER! the other girl that we found recently said that this past week, she was literally thinking about coming back to visit the missionaries and to receive the lessons. we found her, and she was shocked! the spirit is just wonderful !! i have to go now..can i get some prayers to try and get rid of this GNARLY fever i have goin on?? its literally killing me hahaha. Other than that I am doing so so good! love all of you to the moon and back! EKW we went to a catholic cathedral today!! time out marias daughter drew amaro and i while we were talking in their doorway..she even drew my hydroflask! we found a horse next to our chapel we out and about
