Well this week was pretty good. We walked. A ton. Enjoyed (read "died in") the sun. We saw Presidente and Hermana Robertson in our area on Friday. And they just about killed us with startledness (not sure if that's a word, but hey it works) because we were both looking where we were walking and not at the cars on the street and we just heard a man's voice yelling "Hermanas!" so we ignored it, then heard it antoher time. And another. Then the car started to back up because they already passed us. Then we saw that it was Pte and Hna Robertson and realized that we were okay.
We also saw two grand miracles! Here they are:
1) Thursday we had an appointment with an antiguo investigadora the Hermana Lideres visited in the tormenta blanca and she is amazing! SHe is so prepared! Her name is Liliana and she understood everything so well. We were talking about how the Priesthood was taken from the earth after Christ's earthly ministry and she was super concerned. SHe said something along the lines of "But, how would the world be without the authority of God? Everyone would be lost!" Then when we explained about Joseph Smith, as we were going to tell the 1st Vision, I showed the picture and she said "Ah how beautiful! SO that's the young man, and those two in the light, who are they?" She really felt the spirit and loved the Restoration!

2) The second miracle happened with our investigator, Marina. Last week we shared the Proclamation with her and she really loved it. She had returned a few weeks ago to her Evangelical church, but after sharing the Proclamation with her she said she was going to have to pray again and see what God wants her to do. Well, we had a lesson with her on Saturday and we felt like it would be a good idea to teach her about Noche de Hogar on ella y ahora quiere efectuar una Noche de Hogar every monday with her son and her boyfriend! At the end of the lesson she said (without us even getting to that part) that she wanted to come to church with us the next day! She ended up not coming because Eduardo, su pareja, already had plans to go visit his children on Sunday and he said he wasn't going to go, but if she wanted to she could stay and go with us, but he was going to go visit his kids. She did promise us though that this Sunday she will go with us! And she already has 1 asistencia so if she comes the next two Sundays she can be baptized in November! Well, that is if she tells Eduardo he needs to find somewhere else to live until his divorce comes through and they can get married. We are praying so much for her!
This area is pretty hard, but I really have a testimony that the harder areas have more lasting conversions because the people really feel it and they aren't ust being baptized to be baptized.
Well, that was my week! The gospel's true God loves you!
