This week has definitely been an interesting one for sure!
But it has also been so so so good.
Hermana Villalobos and I have been having real problems just
feeling like we couldnt really bring the Spirit as much as we wanted to in our
lessons. We knew that we had so many teaching opportunities but we weren't
really seeing investigator progression and that was killing us because we just
love these people. So we were trying to figure out what we could do to step it
up- there were lots of things that we needed to do (exact obedience is real
people!) but there is that saying that there is always people prepared for this
message and sometimes the hardest thing is saying "hey i dont think these
people are really ready right now, we gotta move on for now." But we came
to the conclusion that that was probably true. So we "dropped" most of
our investigators that we had that hadn't been progressing which was just a
little scary because that meant that we had to do the unspeakable...TRACT.
hahaha but we had been given a list from our district leaders from 2003. We
still arent quite sure what the list is of but it is about 100 names and
addresses in the area. So we started going down the list and contacting and....
BAM MIRACLES. No joke it has been so amazing. We met the nicest girl named
Dulce (sweet in spanish lol) and it was her birthday and she told us that we had
a really nice spirit and that we could totally come back. That was only one
example of how amazing that list has been. #blessings
The other day we were on our way to a dinner apppointment
and we had about 20 minutes before we needed to be there. And we saw some
people standing outside their house and so we decided to go talk to them. Well
we tried to talk to them but she was selling fruits and mexican delicacies out
of her trunk! So she tricked us and we ended up buying corn with mayo, cheese,
and chili powder on it! lol but then the real shame was walking into our dinner
appointment with food in our hands becuase we had nothing else to do with it
and we didnt want to waste it! lol but we ate it later and it was some good
corn.
Today we went to the tulip festival which was so amazing! I
sent some pictures to Aunt Pam but it was absolutely beautiful- just fields and
fields of tulips.
Well other than that, Happy Easter. I love you and I hope
conference is good. Go with a specific question and pray for an answer and I
KNOW you will recieve. Love you.
