Week 90 (Feb. 06, 2018)

This week was a solid week. Full of learning and teaching and working hard. We were able to have a baptism on Friday of the boy who was going to get baptized last week but things came up and they couldn't get to the baptism. So my comp was able to baptize him. My comp got here on Tuesday and was able to have his first baptism just 4 days later. It was an awesome experience to have someone prepared to be baptized to help set a new missionary on track for a mission full of baptizing people. 

Also a little about my comp. His name is Elder G, he is from Bolivia, he's 18 years old and he likes to play basketball. 

This week we also had a miracle while out finding people. We had said a prayer asking for the spirit to guide us to a family who lived in a blue or yellow house and had 3 people who were home. But I remember after asking for that in the prayer that it didn't feel right. So we started walking and feeling and we tried a house and it didn't go so well. So we kept walking just kind of lost not really finding what we wanted and then I felt the spirit indicate a house to me that was not at all what we had asked for in the prayer. But being obedient to the spirit we went to the house and presented ourselves as representatives of Jesus Christ and asked if we could leave a blessing with the family. After the prayer the woman looked at us and asked how we knew that she had been praying to have messengers from God to come to her house, and that she had just finished praying for that 5 minutes earlier. We testified that we were guided to the house by the spirit and that we had a message to give to her family. They accepted and hopefully we can go back and teach them this week.  

Also this week we found a way awesome family of like 17 people. They live in 3 different houses all connected, We taught them twice this week and invited them to church. We then asked a member to help us go pick them up in his van. So on Sunday morning we pulled up to the house and there was the grandpa with his grand-kids all ready to attend church. 11 attended from the family and 7 are over the age of 8. Hopefully we can put a baptismal date with them this week and they can be baptized within the next 2 weeks. 

As for the week I think that is it. The coming week im sure will be even greater with more miracles, more finding, and hopefully a baptism. 

Anyways love you all!!
