Well this week was a week! It definitely didn't go by as fast as the others have gone so I guess that is both a good and not so goo thing. The week has been good. We knocked a lot this week and yesterday it rained so we were just walking around with our umbrellas and trying to stay dry! It was good though because we figured people would be more likely to let us in if we look like we are freezing. I can't really complain though. We always have good weather.
So this week we had a really powerful lesson with Jesus. He is the "spouse" of one of our members. I think I have talked about him before. Anyone we were talking to him and were talking about the spirit and everything. So then we invited him to be baptized. As my companion was inviting him I felt the spirit so strong. It was like my heart was on fire. She asked him and for a split second I thought he was going to say yes. This is a guy who has known and talked with missionaries off and on since 2005. However, he didn't except the invitation. I know he felt the spirit though, I honestly don't know how he denied the spirit because it was so strong. The first words that came out of his mouth were WOW, then he went back to his normal, I was already baptized in the catholic church thing. We are still working with them and trying to get him to the church. We have a lot of activities coming up for Christmas though so hopefully he will come to one of those.
We have been working in Las casitas a lot lately just knocking and trying to talk to everyone everyday. But something we have noticed is these little "chamacos" (spanish for street urchin:) walking around and me and my companion are pretty sure they are dealing drugs. Our suspicions were confirmed this week as we were walking around and saw this white red head standing on the sidewalk. He was definitely an outsider and was from Westlake which is a really wealthy area. So I wonder what a rich white kids was doing in Las Casitas...hmmmm we tried to talk to him but he wasn't very interested, very nice though.
So This week for thanksgiving we will be eating with the family we live with. We actually didn't have anyone to eat with until this morning and Sister Davis invited us to join in with them and there family!
I am excited and realize that I have so much to be grateful for! Missionary work is taxing but I am so grateful for the experiences I am having. I am SO grateful for all of the support from everyone at home. I love you all and hope that you have a good thanksgiving!!
Les Amo!
