We´ve got some good stories from the mish this week! First of all if you want to hear a funny story, read the following paragraph. If not, feel free to skip.
We had the heeby jeebies ALL WEEK because last monday I heard rustling in the garbage can and a mouse ran out! I screamed and then my comp screamed, and our cute neighbor that lives below us came upstairs to check on us. But it was too funny, because she tapped on the window and I turned around and saw her cute little old lady face in the window but I freaked out and screamed again!!! hahah she was just like, "Misioneras! Que les pasó!" And we were like.....there´s a mouse!! But we couldnt find the little guy. SOooooo as the week went on we kept finding little evidences of a mouse in the house, but we didn´t see him again. Until last night. We were casually eating leftover pizza when we heard scurrying sounds. We realized that he was in a box of food on top of our fridge, and we trapped him in pot. Then we put the pot in a bag. And then our neighbor came uptsairs again because (obviously) we were screaming a lot. (Hahah!) And she stepped on the box in the bag and put an end to our mouse drama!! It was so crazy. Now the house feels so lonely.....lol
But apart from the mouse adventure, this week was awesome because our investigators RECOGNIZED THE SPIRIT. Yes!!! We found Vicente this week, and he is so great. He´s in the middle of a messy divorce, but he is so sensitive to the spirit. Even though he doesn´t believe in Heavenly Father, he came to church and he said, "I felt something here today. I don´t know what it is...but I felt it here. I´d like to come back next week."Aww it was so great. He´s just super challenging to teach because he is very logical and he doesn´t have a lot of faith...but we´ll just keep working on it little by little.
Arturo is our other investigador and he is so golden! We found him because he helped us lift our heavy suitcases the day we had transfers. We finally got around to contacting him, and he accepted a baptismal date! And he read MORE than the chapter in the Book of Mormon we assigned. I´m so proud of him. He said he was super nervous to go to church, but he prayed and the whole time he felt at peace. Even though he normally is really nervous in new situations. I´m so grateful that God answered his prayer!
We also had a funny experience where the Elders told us that we should go look for a niña that didn´t get baptized a few months back. They couldn´t remember her name, but we dropped everything to go look for her. When we got there, we met her and realized that we had her as the next investigator to search on our list from our area book! It was so cool. And she also went to church. She got all dressed up super cute and hopefully she can be baptized soon!
I love being with Hermana Baeza, it´s a constant party. We play basketball, we go out to run in the mornings (I am getting fit! Ooh, ahh.) And we pray with real intent to be able to see miracles! It´s been a great week.
a spiritual thought that I had yesterday was that Jesus Christ loves us so much, individually. If I were the only person on the earth that needed to be saved, he would suffer and die for my sins. We need to repent to be able to apply this priceless gift in our lives. :)
I know that this church is true! Thanks for all your love and support! Remember that our Savior knows and loves you! Wherever we are, and whoever we´re with, we are there for a reason!
Love you all! Have a great week!
Love,
hermana Schwartz
