time.....flies.....

 

whoa. i'm in week five of this change! i'm about to complete 9 months....in 9 days... is that weird or what?! but time only will get even faster! crazy... 

 

well this week was pretty good. the area still isnt as good as i would like it to be... but its slowly getting a little better. one of the coolest experiences that ive ever had happened this week though...

 

so we have this investigator named Brautrelet, or Brau for short. and he had a baptism date for the 6th... this past saturday. and well he "wasnt ready." jaja. so they all say. but this amazing man is golden. does everything we ask, goes to church, and he has already read 1st and 2nd Nefi! (bueno, Nephi.) and those type of people are rare. but this week in church, well, yesterday, it was fast and testimony meeting. and brau goes up to the stand with his friend Fanny who just got home from her mission like 8 weeks ago. she is always in the lessons with us and she helps him and all that good stuff... anyway, they go up and sit until its their turns to bear their testimonies and Brau goes up first. and at this moment my heart like dropped and i was like no manches (no way!).....then he goes on for like 5 minutes saying how he is super grateful for all the blessings he has received in his life and the espirit he always feels here and then he said how grateful he is for Elder Inglish and Elder Martinez and for the love we have for him is so strong and he feels it and is very grateful for the things we have been teaching him. then there was silence.....and he says....."and..........i know..................................................that these things are true." 

 

then tears started roll down my face and i remember this marvelous work and a wonder that i am doing....

 

and Brau finishes by testifying of these things...

 

and well this was an experience that i dont think i will ever forget.  i am truly helping people come unto Christ. and i would only like to help MORE people...

oh on friday there was a guy with a quote on the back of his shirt. i doubt he knows what it said, because it was in english... but it hit me and i like it.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, its the only thing that ever has."

-Margaret Mead

but i have no idea who margaret mead is or to what she was even referring to... haha, pero me gustó mucho (i liked it a lot). 

oh ya saturday night we were with the family cortes who are a part member family and all the sudden Hugo and his mom and dad come walking in with a fat ol´ cake and the mom was like, "vamos a tener una fiesta porque estamos bien y contentos gracias a Dios!" (we're going to have a party because we are well and happy, thanks to God!)

 

and i was like, oh gosh here we go again... ha. and we ate some cake and drank some atole. 

 

well thats about all i got for now my beloved friends and family and other fans jajahahajaha just joshin.

 

love you all, paz afuera (peace out)
