This week was a little bit slower so this shouldn't be too long (fingers crossed).
HIGHLIGHTS:
The biggest highlight this week was our lesson with Jezania. Jezania is one of our recent converts and she's so sweet. Last transfer, Sister Glauser and I were having a lesson with her when she asked us for a favor. She said that her daughter was struggling and was living alone in Mexico, and Jezania wanted the missionaries to go visit her because she knew the gospel could help her daughter. She gave us the info, we sent it over to the missionaries in Mexico, and we didn't think about it again, honestly.
After our lesson on Saturday, Jezania was super smiley, and she told Sister A and me that she had a present for us. She pulled out her phone and was scrolling for a minute. I was just wondering what kind of gift required a phone or scrolling, and then she showed us her gift. It was her daughter's baptism invitation! She was getting baptized THE NEXT DAY. I actually had tears in my eyes because it was so cool to see that because of Jezania being baptized, her daughter is now getting baptized, and it really just showed me how amazing this work is!!
On Wednesday we had our ward Trunk or Treat which was so fun but also so cold!! I think it was a solid 50 degrees and all of us missionaries were actually freezing because 50 doesn't seem like it's that cold until you compare it to the 120 that we got used to. Trunk or Treat was awesome though, JULIO CAME, and we got to have a lesson with him while we were there. Baptism is still on for November 16th so please pray it stays there.
At night church on Sunday (the ward for people who can't make it to church during the day because of work), we had such a miracle. Normally, you go if you have a friend who has actually confirmed they're going to go and if they don't show up after like 30 minutes, that means they aren't coming. We got a referral from some elders and when we called him to invite him to church that morning, he told us he couldn’t, but he could go to night church. We confirmed it with him a lot and he said he'd be there.
We get there at 7, call him, he says he's coming. We wait until 7:35, call him again, he says he's just leaving and will be here in 15 minutes. At this point, by the time he gets there, there will only be 10 minutes left. We tell him this, but he says he wants to come and will be there. It is literally 7:58 when Marcos walks in, we go and sit down, the teacher fortunately is a bit of a talker, so it didn't actually end for another 15 minutes, but that was just crazy to see his desire and dedication. He said he'll come again next week, and we hopefully have a lesson with him tomorrow so that was a miracle!
That's all I have for you this week, it was such a good week with so many blessings and so many miracles. If everyone wants to keep praying for our friends Julio and Manny, that would be very much appreciated! Hope you're all doing well, thank you for the love and support!
