BREAKING MYSELF IN!!!

One more week down!  I know I say this every week but I don't understand how it's already P day again haha.  This week was super good!  Its starting to get pretty cold here in Coahuila!  Pretty sure it gets as cold as Utah but the only difference is that it doesn't snow haha.  Our houses don't have heat so I'm gonna be sleeping in my coat lol.  

 

This week we worked our tails off!   We got 20 new contacts and a lot of them have a lot of potential.  We have four baptisms lined up for the next couple of weeks!!  

This week we did a lot of the same stuff each day, we leave the house around 11 or so (only during training), we go to our appts, lunch is at 2, and whenever we aren't teaching at an appt we are contacting and looking for new people.  We walk sooooo much.  My feet kill ha.  We met some awesome people this week who are super prepared!!  We were walking down the street and we met someone who speaks English!!  I can't explain to you guys how nice it felt to speak English, cause my Spanish still stinks, and my comp knows zero English. This guy lived in the states for 12 years and that's where his family lives.  I taught him a little about the restoration and he said we can come over to his house whenever we want!  It looks like I'm gonna get to be teaching in English a little bit!

My companion and  I had the opportunity to give a blessing this week, we found this family and started teaching them, and we noticed that the dad had a problem walking, and he was really struggling with his health, my companion asked if we could give him a blessing of healing, he started crying during it, which made me want to cry haha.  After, we gave his wife a blessing as well.  This was all really new for them.  It was the first time they had heard anything about our church and they had the opportunity to receive blessings. Pretty cool.  Then we taught them and it went really well! Hopefully we baptize them pretty soon!! 

Something else kind of interesting, I am teaching a two hour English class this week lololol.  Its gonna pretty interesting cause these people don't know any English.  I'm gonna have to teach them English while communicating in Spanish, and my Spanish is not the best.  YIKES!!!  It will be good. I'm kind of excited about the opportunity.  

Thank you for all the support and love you guys show me!! I would love to hear from all of you!  Have a good week!  Read your scriptures and say your prayers, this church is true!!
