Letter home

So, this week was excelent. Let me start off by telling a cool story. so, every night when we plan what we will do the next day, we put goals about what we will achieve in some of the key indicators (lessons with member, other lessons, new investigadors, etc), and the next day we set off to work with all our might to get them. On tuesday we had the goal of getting 2 lessons with member. We had already gotten the first one, and all the plans we had for the second one had fallen through with only an hour before we had to be in the house. So, we had to make the choice with my companion of if we should just give up on that little goal and move on to other things, or if we should keep fighting for the goal. We really had no idea how we could possivly get a lesson with member, but we diciede to say a little prayer, keep doing what we could to get one. Then we started walding, doing  a few contacts, but really just thinking about how we could possibly get that lesson, when suddenly from behind we hear someone yell Hermanos (Brothers!), which is usually bad news because that means someone just sent a rock in our way, but we turned around and saw a young man waving to us and coming out of his house, followed by an older man. turnes out that it was a young man, who was not a member, and his uncle, who was in the stake presidancey of the other stake who had come to visit his sister. They invited us in, and it was one of the most spiritual finding experiences of my mission. We got the lesson with member, but more importantly found a new amazing family to teach. I have no doubt that the angels led us walking by on that street. and I have no doubt that the Lord always wants us to get our goals, and knows the best way to get them. 

I love the mission. Prey for the baptisms in my zone for this week! And especially in my area.
