¡¡¡holaaa!!!

My dearest friends and family whom i miss and love tons!! I hope you all had a great week and that your monday is wonderful.. my week well from what i remember in this moment about my week was good. it rained ALL week! Rain boots are my best friend here lol. A little adjustment from AZ haha.

Sooo we have been mainly been working with menos activos lately. And this Sunday almost every menos activo we have been working with the last few weeks came to church!!! I don't know how to express how happy that made me. I'm honestly so grateful God trusts me enough to help people remember their covenants in the church and feel the blessings of the gospel in their lives again.

We have a couple of investigators we are working with. One is a friend I've had here my whole time in Yumbel bc in his negocio (store) he has BP (blue powerade) super cheap compared to all the other negocios. Anyway i never thought to teach him bc he's always working and that's the only time i ever see him.. But one night we had a longer talk than normal that lead into him taking the restoration folder and a BOM and asking us to visit him when he's not working! woohoo! 

The other person we found is HILARIOUS. and just thee coolest person. ya know those people who have all the same beliefs/views that the church and doctrine teaches but doesn't know it yet.. yeah that's him.oh my and the way we found him is not a coincidence! okay here's the story. So my comp and i were walking to our next apt at about 8:30 at night. and i got the weirdest feeling that we shouldn't go to our next apt. so w/o saying anything to my comp i asked her how she felt and she said she felt weird/wrong.. SO in the cold/dark w/ only an hour left of working and not knowing where to go or exactly why we cancelled our last apt we prayed about where God wanted us to go and so we kept walking and found luis who we actually saw the week before and gave a BOM and never got his address or number or anything and were kinda bummed.. and turns out he is pretty interested and has been reading in the book of mormon. twas pretty awesome to feel God's guidance that night. 

What i've learned the most in the mission is to always trust God and his will. I love you all and am so grateful for you all. have a great week friends and family!!!! 

Con mucho amor,
