Wow, what a crazy week we had!!! and wow was it full of surprises!!

Elder Cruz y Elder Miller

 

One news that is so exciting is that Elder Cruz and I are proud new parents haha!!! yeah I have another kid.  Oh um I'm talking in missionary terms . Elder Cruz and I are trainning a new missionary!!! They called us late Monday night and said that we had to be in Guadalajara the next day at 10 in the morning!!  We went and we were just so stoked. Our kid is so awesome.  He is the man, his name is Elder Olsen. Yea, know what? He's from California. He comes from New Port Beach and he is a surfer. He is super chill.  He is my bud and he just has a great spirit about him. He doesn't speak a lot of Spanish but he has great desires to serve the Lord. I am so blessed, I really am.  I have two great companions and I love them both. Elder Cruz is just plain funny.  He is always making me laugh and his English accent is so funny. (he speaks English) He plays the piano beautifully and he has a great knowledge of the scriptures.  I'm just so grateful for these two elders they are just so awesome.

 

We got back to our house late Tuesday night to take Elder Olsen back. Then early Wednesday morning,  Elder Cruz and I had to go back to Guadalajara for some meetings we had with President. They were so great.  I learned a lot. But man, we were out of our area for 3 days.  We got back Wednesday night at like 12.  We hadn't done any work all week but we weren't going to use that for an excuse. We went to work. We were working with everything we had.  Last night we were able to complete with all of our mission goals. Wow, it was super intense and we had a lot of great experiences.

 

We baptized this week which was a real miracle.  We baptized the sister of Laura, who is one our recent converts. She didn't want to listen to us for a long time but she had a special experience where she received an answer from God that these things were true.  She told us when we were over there that she wanted to be baptized. We were like what---and she told us everything it was way awesome. She had already been to church and read in The Book of Mormon.  We just taught her what she needed and she was ready. She wanted Elder Olsen to baptize her.  It was super awesome for Elder Olsen because he only has a few days here. haha He was super stoked. Rocio is awesome.  She is really funny but she is so happy now and she was so happy to be baptized.

 

I had a very special experience this week, well we did with two sisters. They are named Luz and Elena. They are like in there 40s. They were referrals from a member. We went to visit them and they received us with a big smile. We started talking with them and Luz told us that she didn't believe in God, she never has and she never will. She said that we are always welcome to come and visit her but that she doesn't believe in God. She has had a really rough life and that is why her sister Elena is with her right now because she lives in Guadalajara.  She told us that she felt a voice in her heart that she had to come and be with her sister.  She followed that voice and she has been here for a little bit and has helped her sister a lot.  We started passing by with them on Thursday and we have passed by with them everyday since. In these few days, I have seen the hearts of these two ladies change drastically. They are praying and reading everyday.  They went to a baptism and they went to church. They told us that what they felt in these couple day is nothing they have ever felt before. Luz told us that she knows that God lives and loves her. Last night Luz,  Elena and Daniel all accepted to be baptized right before christmas. Wow, I can't explain to you in words how I feel. It is amazing and I know the gospel is true and I know God guides us to his children that are ready to accept the Gospel. Luz and Elena are amazing.  I know I knew them before this life.  I know that my companions and I were prepared before to teach them. I love this Gospel and I love God's plan!!!!

live life love life
