Doors open and doors close
And sometimes in between, we enter the house! We had a miracle this week. We were walking down the street and two people were walking our way. I was getting ready to give them an invitation when the woman said, "Hey, I was just telling my mom the other day that you two never came by!" We started talking and realized that we had talked with her some weeks before and noted down her address but it wasnt in our area and we forgot to hand it over to the elders. She said her mom wanted a visit and she gave us a vague description of where her mom lived because she couldnt remember the address. Later that day we went searching for the house. We knocked many doors and asked everyone and nobody knew who we were talking about. After a silent prayer we stood still for a moment and I looked down the street. She told us it was a house without a gate and I thought I saw one that-a-way. We knocked and a woman opened the door. "Hola, buenas tardes. Nosotras somos representantes de Jesucristo y estamos buscando a Andrea." She smiled and said, "Soy yo!" She let us in and we had a lovely lesson. We didnt know where she lived but Heavenly Father sure did.
We had a happy Sunday. We have been working with a family in the ward, the family where we went for new year´s. The abuela stopped going to church when her husband got sick and after her passed away a year ago she still hadn't been to church. Her sister lives there with her and isn't a member of the church. This week la tía abuela accepted a baptismal date and the both of them went to church! When these two elegant ladies entered the chapel everyone was overjoyed. Its been years since she went to church. We are all smiles.
A new investigator, Alicia, also went to church. She is a strong woman and she is always reading and praying. A woman of faith.
Ramona isn't progressing right now. We had so many great lessons with her but right now it is looking like she´ll need more time. I'm trying to send some good pictures.
I am praying for all of you, especially grandma. I love you all with all my heart and your testimonies and faith and examples fill my soul with light. Invite everyone you know to join in the goodness you know. I love you!!!!
Un besito,
