Wow Family so there goes another week and well this week was interestingly awesome.. Let me tell you why,,, the day when my companion and I got robbed a while back, i can say the lord had a purpose in sending us to that part of our area. the funny thing is that it was to find someone that doesnt even live there. haha so that day when we were in that area (where the bishop said is the promised land, which is his choke that he always likes to say because the missionaries have never had success there) anyway my companion and i went over there and all we were doing that whole day was contacting a million people doors, people in the streets, and other crazy things that werent super effective. at the same time we were searching for the old investigators that existed in that area. we were looking for one of the directions and we had no idea where it could be. we were just walking along without any idea of where we were and we had passed like 6 nice people that i am sure we could have talked to but for some reason we didnt. all of a sudden there was a little 15 year old kid with his motorcycle and he was about to call someone from a public phone and i said, hey lets ask him where this dirrection is.. his name was alex and he told us where the direction was. we asked him for his address so we could visit him and he was like ya whatever... well fast forward to yesterday, we have been teaching alex and his mom now for a few weeks, but it is hilarious because almost every time we go to his house he has a new friend there that wants to listen.. from contacting him we have received 5 references and they are all just super awesome investigators. the one he brought yesterday was like ya i got in an accident a month or two ago and i decided i need to change my life. and well it was really cool.. I love this kid and his family and his friends and i thought about who he reminds me of and it was pretty funny cause while i was talking to him all of a sudden it came to me... he is peruvian nate!!! haha it was great! he is super like gangster type kid and his friends are worse looking, but they all have awesome desires.. it is crazy.. now even though we only have 12 investigators in our area 6 of them came to church thanks to this kid and his mom.. the other six couldnt come but they too want to progress.. so what ive learned is that our area, even though we arent loaded with people or lessons, the investigators that we have are the kind that i have always wanted in the mission.. we dont have 1 investigator that hasnt progressed at least a little bit.. i can tell you that from all of my other areas i have not had people like this.. it is incredible.. and i know with a complete surety that our area will progress into a very strong area if we keep following the spirit and talking to the people the lord wants us too. The mission really is incredible and there is no better place to learn, grow and help others do the same!
Love you all so much .. your favorite..
