Divine Intervention

So this week on "The Mission":

We had an amazing week!! To start off we had a lesson and dinner with a less active-part member and we talked about the commandments and they loved it. And then we showed them the Bible videos on Mormon Channel. The next day I realize that my flash drive was not in my pocket. I had felt it in my pocket at the lesson the day before but I never took it out. So went through most of the day and then we went back to their house to see how they were doing (and as well I wanted to see if it was there :\ ). So we show up and We look under the cushions and they started telling us that they are getting a divorce. so that was bad :( Then I see my flash drive sticking out of their Book of Mormon. And when I had asked them they had no idea what I was talking about. And I knew I never took it out of my pocket. So we start to help the husband move all of his stuff and some of his family show up to help. And the less active member told us not to leave because they wanted to hurt her....so if we had not been there who knows what would have happened. Divine intervention??? And the less active came to church on Sunday and she was super happy!! :) 

This week we are starting to teach a new family, Joseph and Nakita and their 4 sons. They are so cool!! They both want to get baptized, they just have to get married and they already want that. So it will be great. One of our potential investigators went in to have induced labor and she asked us to come to the hospital this morning and say a prayer with her. So we went to the Santa Rosa Hospital and did that for her, and we talked to an Irish Nun that worked there haha.

Hope y'all have a great week and I love all of you!!!

Aliens have come to the West Side, LOL.

Oreos after a long day of work

More Changes...

So this was an interesting week!!! Our ward boundaries were changed, and the area we lost has most of our investigators...... :( But we did teach them! We had a great lesson with some of our investigators together, because they all had word of wisdom problems. The one who had been smoking week stopped, then went back to it after a week. The other one drinks and wants to stop but has no confidence. 

 We have 4 new people we are teaching and they are really cool!!!  

Not a whole lot this week. Oh we had a Pioneer day party and had 2 tours of the building!! It was sweet!!!

Everything is AWESOME!

Alright this week has been awesome!!!! This week we had a zone conference and we talked about the gathering and scattering of Israel and we got really in depth about it. and It all led back to me thinking about our TSAM purpose statement:

"I have been called of Jesus Christ through inspiration, to serve in the Texas San Anotion Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I will bodly invite others to come unto Christ, by helping them recieve the restored gospel, through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement,repentance,baptism,recieving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end. I will stand for truth and return with honor. Behold, I am disciple of Jesus Christ the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, they they might have everlasting life. He aqui, soy discuplo de Jesucristo, El hijo de Dios. He sido llamado por El, para declarar su palabra, entre los de su pueblo. El fin de que alcancen la vida eterna. Every Sister, every Elder, every month." 

So this really has impacted me this week and how I have worked. and It has been awesome!!! We started the non smoking program with our investigator last Monday and he has not smoked since then and he says he feels so good!!! He is doing awesome!!!! We have a few other investigators who are kind of progressing as well and so our main goal is to get them towards baptism and get that desire.

This week I saw a bit of the germany and Brazil game when we stopped at a less active part member's. Man germany destroyed. Anyways I hope you have a great week and I love all of you!!!

Happy 4th of July!

What a great week we had with 4th of July this week!!!! 'Merica! Anyways this week we found a really cool family where the wife is less active and the husband is a non-member and they had us over for dinner so that we could talk to the husband about the church. We shared the Restoration with him and he was so excited about it all and when we got to the Book of Mormon he thought it was so cool!! The wife's mom is not a member and she started to get a little defensive about it (she had been out of the room for it) and was wondering why we did not read from the Bible. The wife got really into it and started sharing her testimony of it and then the husband even read a little to her and that kind of calmed her down haha. As well we were able to visit one of our investigators who is trying to stop smoking and he read chapter 4 of 1 Nephi and thought it was really interesting and he wants us to help him stop smoking weed so we are going to start that with him!!!

This week I got to go on an exchange with Elder Watts and we had a great morning work out of playing soccer on a really really nice high school field at 6:30 in the morning and it felt so good!!!
