Well this week might have been the hardest week ever!!!! We worked our butts off and everything just seemed to go down the drain!! First off last Monday we had a appointment set up and right when we got there we got a no show. So then we had all night to figure out what to do... So we went and found a less active member in her store. We went in and she just yelled at us in front of all the people there. So we quickly left then we went to a grill/bar because we had to use a restroom and it was the closest place. Anyway we get in and we decide to get a hot chocolate. so we sat down and we are drinking our hot chocolate and some of our members walk in and order drinks and coffee..... It was so awkward when they turned around and saw us there. Ahhhh I was just devastated. These were ACTIVE MEMBERS! blah!
We had a WAY cool lesson with our 13 year old investigator. She needs to get permission from her Dad to get baptized and she had been putting it off for weeks now! So we did a lesson about Queen Esther and how she risked her life to go talk to the King to save her people. Then we compared it to her situation and told her that her Dad wasn't going to kill her and that she needed to have courage! So that was a way cool lesson. She asked her dad this Saturday but unfortunately he said no no no. So we are having to just trust in the lord that everything will work out.
Also we have this investigator who is just AWESOME! Her name is Concetta. She just wants to be baptized soooooooooo bad!! We did the law of chastity with her this week and she was like "oh no, what do i do. Roberto and I live together we have a daughter and we aren't married!!! I need to get married to Roberto before the 31st so I can be baptized!" Talk about faith! So she is awesome!! However she talked/proposed to Roberto and he said "no" that he wasn't ready. So she can't get baptized on the 31st anymore. We are teaching him though too. He actually has been coming to church longer then she has. We found him before Concetta. Anyway so hopefully everything goes well.
SO BIGGEST MIRACLE!!! This whole transfer i've been sleeping on a broken bed and every morning I wake up (if i even sleep at all) and I feel like someone has beaten me with a bat! So i've been having tons of back problems. Plus not sleeping and running around like crazy! I've just been literally EXHAUSTED!!!!!!!! Well, this week the assistants called us and they were like "hey we are going to IKEA and we wanted to know if you needed any furniture for your apartment like desks, mattresses...etc." I almost broke into tears. All I could think was how much God loved me and the one thing that would help me get through this week was getting a new bed!!! I'm just soooo happy!!
Well anyway thats about all for this week. I love you all so much and miss you like crazy!! thanks everyone for writing me all the time. It means so much to me. Remember how much God loves each and everyone of us!!!!
