Well, remember the story from last week? IT GETS BETTER!!!!
So, we have been visiting Anel. There have been LOTS of spiritual experiences. Like, Thursday, we didn't have planned to go visit, but we felt the need to go see her. When we got there, her Mom was home! (she never is there, she works from like 6 am to 10 pm) So, she sat down and talked with us too. She loves it! She said she is going to work to get Sundays off so she can go to church. We also had given Anel a Book of Mormon this week. She prayed and received her answer in a really special way. Also, in two days she had read until 1 Nephi 17. When she got to work, they did a bag check, and the boss called her into her office. She told her to put the Book of Mormon in a box and to tell her whats in the book, because EVERYONE in her work has seen her change a lot this week, and she wanted to know if she was really reading it or if she just liked what we were teaching. So, she told her she hasn't read a ton, but she has prayed and she KNOWS it is true. She also testified of Joseph smith and she just stood up to her boss for what she believed. When she finished, her boss said, "Welcome, and have a great day." She then explained that her mom is a member, and she (well, technically still is..) was a member, but decided to marry a Christian and so she fell away from the church. She told her to keep learning and studying. On Saturday, we taught the first part of the plan of Salvation, and it brought her to tears, because she has had some really big trials in her life. She said that it gave her so much hope. She also isn't a person that cries much. I just cant even explain how special and so prepared she is. Yesterday she went with us to go get a few other new investigators to come to church! She testifies in the classes. She is ready. Hope fully on June 6th, she will be baptized. OH! She also said yesterday that now her whole family is reading the Book of Mormon with her. and that sometimes they secretly are listening to the lessons. :D
Also, this week we were walking and we saw a mother and daughter. We contacted them and at first they weren't super interested, but the something changed. They got super interested and the Mother said that she had a 17 year old son who wants to go to church, but one where he has classes with people his age, not with old people. YOUNG MENS! Yay! So, on Sunday, they came!! And they loved it!!
We are just seeing so many miracles and there are so many people that are prepared. It is so amazing. Also, I have learned a lot here in Valles, talk to EVERYONE. I mean, before I felt like I was, but, we try to not let a single person pass by with out talking to them. It really helps.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week. This is the Lords work and we all need to work together. And most of all with the Lord. We cant do it alone. We are nothing, but with him, we can do all things. Love you all!!!!
