This week has been filled with miracles. We have been guided to a lot of amazing people this week but still haven't been able to have a lot of lessons. We are really dedicating ourselves to the people we find and are following up with each one. We have to keep working harder and smarter but I'm not worried because I know that God sees our efforts and that He has a better plan for these people than we do. Something that I have been trying to improve on recently as I try and talk to every person that God puts in my path is to contact better on public transportation and as we wait at the stops. We have started talking to each person we can that is waiting at the same stop as us before the bus comes and then on the bus or metro or whatever it is, I have really tried putting an effort in to talking to everyone that I can and being direct about the purpose. I have realized that the conversation doesn't need to be casual and then slowly work up to a gospel discussion but that if I start a conversation directly and with love that others are open to talk about what we believe even if they aren't interested to come and learn more yet. I really believe that although it's good that they remember us smiling and being friendly it matters so much more that we give each person a chance to hear our testimony of the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have continued in our efforts to gather the lost sheep and have been delivering lots of baptismal records. This week we went on exchanges with members and delivered some of them. It was really cool to see their enthusiasm for the work and their testimonies in action. We had an amazing experience with one lady this week named Mariana. We traveled really far to find her and when we got there she happened to be home and she welcomed us with open arms. She said that she was wanting to talk to the missionaries and find her way back for a while now but never saw any around the city and didn't know how to find us she then started crying and said, "Now look, you just showed up at my front door. I know that you are sent by God. I know that He loves me." It was an amazing experience. We have been blessed to have some amazing experiences contacting on the streets and in blocks and everywhere we go. I have really seen how God leads us to the areas we need to be in just when we need to go there. I am so grateful to be here and I love this work. Have a great week!
