This is the letter that got erased when I was emailing. I’m grateful for email, it goes quite a bit faster, ha.
Well this week was incredible and we experienced one of the greatest miracles we’ve seen this transfer.
One afternoon we felt inspired to knock specific apartments. We only had about 15 minutes, so we knocked on a specific random door and the 1st one we didn’t say a word and a woman inside said, “Pasante! Hace Frio!” which means “come in, it’s cold outside!” She (Aida immediately offered us dinner and wanted to hear our message. We taught Alma the Younger and D&C 27:20, baptism. She invited us back. The 2nd time we came she invited her friend, Leti, who’d had some signs & dreams. Turns out Aida had wanted to read the Bible, but didn’t know how, then we immediately knocked on her door. Leti had had a dream that someone was going to give her a book, but she didn’t really want to read it because it was big but they told her to read it anyways. Sister Judd and I smiled at each other. They were completely into the lesson asking questions, taking notes, they couldn’t wait to read the Book of Mormon! And they accepted to be baptized!
Another miracle in disguise: we brought 2 members with us to a super important lesson with a less active family, but they weren’t there. But it was the lord’s hand because one member needed a blessing, so the other gave her one.
Sister Judd and I are working very well with the ward. We listen closely to the spirit and by doing so save a lot of time.
We also made a transfer paper chain and wrote something for a random thing to do for each day. So far we have: competed taking pics of each other without our companion knowing; screamed, “AHH, there’s a spider!” when the house was quiet- super hilarious!; ordered Quiznos subs for each other without knowing what the other person likes; decorated pens for each other; had a camel-bak chugging contest; and wore shoes on the wrong feet until someone noticed- and no one ever noticed! I’m loving my mission!
