Hey Hey!

Hey Everyone! 
This week has been super great. We had some rough lessons this past
week, but we have learned a ton, and have been blessed a lot because
of them. This last week we found a couple new people to teach, and
they were really eager to meet with us which was weird. We are always
excited for more people to teach so we met with them as soon as
possible. One of the guys is a religious professor here, and the other
is really big into the Evangelical church. Haha so the whole time, we
were there, they felt like they had to convince us our religion is
wrong. So we bore our testimonies and really challenged them to pray
and find out for themselves to know if our church is true. But because
of it, we have been motivated to speak in Spanish 100% and it has
really been helping me with the language. 
 But have also had some great lessons. We found another guy
named "Antonio" who is super prepared. There are people who are so
prepared I feel like we just help them teach themselves. Antonio used
to live with a member family for a while, and so he knows a little bit
about us and always has a ton of questions. When we were teaching
about the Restoration, he really liked the idea that we have modern
prophets today to lead us. He asked us who the prophet is today, and
later went and looked President Monson up to learn more. He is really
cool and we are excited to keep meeting with him. 
 We have been meeting with our other investigators, Lina, José, Miguel,
Manuel, and anyone else we can. Manuel told us this last week that he
wants to be a missionary and we told him that because he is married,
he can go with his wife if she is converted. So now he wants to find a
way to get his wife to come and listen to us. Haha and Sunday he bore
his testimony! Before the meeting started, the Branch President told
us we were going to have a testimony meeting and encouraged Manuel to
bare his testimony. So Manuel went up, and for 15 minutes, read from
D+C 89 and taught us about the word of wisdom! Haha we will have to
teach him more of what a testimony is, but has the word of wisdom
down! We are excited for him and his family. 
 Something I learned this week, is that sometimes we have to "continue
with confidence, until the Lord will show us the way." Because really,
this is an act of faith. Faith that we know the Lord will take care of
us, and our needs, and faith that, with him we can do all things that
are right. I am learning to rely on the Lord for everything, and It
has been a huge blessing. 
 I hope you all have a great week!
