HI GUYS!
This week was great. We have found some new people to teach which was awesome! Today I'll talk about Moises, Milena, Liliana, and María José. Two weeks ago, we talked to Moises and Milena in a little park while looking for addresses. It was really cool because they were walking by and I said Hi to them and then got the feeling that I should talk to them, but I chickened out and didn't say anything. However, a miracle happened. After I said "Buenas" they greeted back and then just stood in front of us, waiting for us to say something more. So, then I was like "I can't miss this second chance" and started talking to them. We got their info and made an appointment with them. At their house, we met Liliana and they were all receptive to the message and asked a ton of GREAT questions! Then we gave them homework to read the Book of Mormon and they didn't do it, but we gave it to them again plus a little bit more and they accepted. When we went back , Moises and Milena had read it all AND Liliana 's daughter, María José had read it all. We hadn't even taught María so that was AWESOME news! María is about 15 years old and has super awesome questions too. Oh yeah, when we talked about how Moises and Milena had to get married, they said that they were talking about it earlier and have some plans already! AWESOME...AGAIN! They are so prepared and I love teaching them. They have a baptism date for Sept. 26, so we will see how everything goes. We also made brownies this week with a recent convert, Leidy, and her family. Well , that was pretty much it from this week and I can't wait to see what happens this week! Love you all and thank you for all of your love and support!
