Hey everyone!!
So this week was pretty crazy and I don't really know what happened and where the time has gone. But it was a little bit of a struggle. So basically every single appointment that we had fell though and we couldn't see that many people. Almost all of the dinner appointments that we had fell though as well. Then almost all of our investigators dropped us, and we might have to start from scratch. After that all the doors we knocked on didn't want to answer as well, or if they did they didn't want to talk with us. And then top it all off we came home one day and our ceiling had a bunch of water leaking from up stairs and there was water coming out of our light and our floor in our kitchen was completely soaked!! So we can't do a lot in our kitchen or house because everything is soaked now. But we didn't have some great moments this week i promise.
We had the opportunity to go up to Baton Rouge this week as well for a Mission leadership Conference and that was a good time. President Hansen instructed and talked to us about things we could do to help the missionary's in our zones, and it was great! Sister Hansen also talked to us and the Assistants did as well. Then after that we came back down to New Orleans and prepared for our Zone Training Meeting. We talked about a bunch of stuff and how we can be the best missionary's that lord wants us to be. We also talked about the new website that the church has for Christmas, its really good. I don't know what it is called in English but in Spanish its Ha Nacido un Salvador. Look it up it is great!! Also we had a little bit of a Cat fight at Ztm so that was fun. Some one made a comment and it got a little heated!! But its all good now and we got it called down.
But kind of a cool story we had from this week. We had been trying to visit people and knock on some doors and we were not having very much luck. It was getting late and we had been fasting all day and we wanted to go and break our fast. Nothing felt like it had been really going our way, but we decided that we would go and try one more person. So we went and knocked on the door and it was a less active. He was very surprised to see us, and it kind of took him back. We started to talk to him to see how he was doing and to see if we could do anything for him. But we could tell that he had been drinking a little bit and he didn't want us to come in to see he was doing that. So we just talked to him and he really opened up. We felt like we need to watch he new movie that the church has out with him, and so we did. He said after that it reminded him of his family back in Peru and he wants to change and be better for them. And wants to be a better example for his kinds. He told us some experiences that he has had because of drinking, and told us he is ready to come back. It was such a testimony booster to me that even if nothing very good has happened in that week. And everything has fallen through and you are starving. That if you are following the spirit, and doing what he needs you to do. He will never let you down. That he is always here for us no matter what we are going through, and we can be though instruments in his had if we allow our self's to be. But I hope tat y'all had a great week and everything is going good and y'all are having a great Christmas so far!! I will see some of y'all soon!!! Also i will be sending out Christmas cards soon and i will be giving you a seek peek!! Have a great one!!
