Great week!

Well Family and Friends,                                                           Jan 26, 2015

This week was one to remember!! A lot of crazy cool stuff happened!!

First of all we had the pleasant opportunity to talk with Testigos de Jehovah (Jehovah’s Witnesses).  Let me tell you that I would have been happy to talk to them about 3 months ago and tear them apart with scriptures from the bible, but over the past several months I found that it’s not worth it!  As he was trying his hardest to slam our religion with scriptures from the bible, I thought of scriptures to combat every one of his points!  But something that I learned here on the mission is that not everyone that is not of "our religion" is out to prove us wrong, it’s them trying the hardest they can to follow in the footsteps of Christ.

This week we also had Zone Conference! whoo hoo Zone conference is really awesome!  We learn so much in such a short period of time!  I was also given the opportunity to speak, I was super nervous! haha but it went really well!! ;)

Luckily for us, we had the opportunity to give 2 blessings this week, both of them were babies with health issues! 

Something a little bit scary but pretty cool as well happened two days ago when the skies turned black in a matter of minutes! The winds were blowing as if we were in the middle of a hurricane and the power lines above us started sparking and trees were falling all around us! Luckily we were close to the house so we chilled there for a little bit!! haha ; )

The best thing that happened this week happened in the capilla (chapel). Like always, I got to bless the sacrament and as I sat on the stand, 2 inactive families that we have been working with for about 3 months now, walk into the chapel!  I couldn’t help but smile!!

The first councilor on the branch presidency was conducting the meeting and as he announced the intermediate hymn he saw his inactive brother walk into the chapel. He stopped talking and started balling. He sat back down without finishing and the president of the branch finished announcing. He put his head in his lap and cried! 

It was one of the most powerful sacrament meetings I’ve ever been a part of!  My joy was full all because my brothers and sisters came back to the fold!!  This Sunday made all of the Sweating, walking, rejection and disappointment worth it!! I’m so glad to be a part of the great work and see the fruits of our labors!!

I love you all so much and i hope you had a great week!! PEACE OUT
