Miracle!!

 Hey everyone hope you guys are doing well! This week was pretty rough haha my comp has been pretty sick because we still dont have his card to pay for his food from when we got robbed and we dont know when itll get here, then i think i got food poisoning on saturday and that was terrible haha didnt sleep much and that bathroom has definately seen better days😅

Miracle!! This friday we walked past a guy (whos name is jesus david) and about 30 feet after my comp said hey weve got to talk to him and i was like okay so we turned around and went and talked to him and he wanted to learn more and he even accepted a baptism date! His date is january 4th so lets hope he comes to church this next week! 

Saturday miracle! We talked with one of our friends named jesus perez lopez and we put a baptism date with him for the 4th of january as well! Hes so dedicated to be baptised its insane, he wants to be baptised so much that he bought a different house he can live in so that he doesnt have to live with his girlfriend and he can get baptised! 

This week was good for the work but really hard for me and my comp haha weve both been really exhausted both physically and mentally, but the work is progressing and im really excited for this coming week! 

Spiritual thought!

This ones been on my mind a lot lately, i just finished mosiah in the book of mormon and a verse in chapter 24 verse 14 stuck out to me a lot, for a little context this is when alma the elder and his people are taken into bondage by the wicked priests of king noah. It says, "And I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as witnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions." Even when we have the hardest weeks or days in our lives there is always hope through our saviour jesus christ and our loving heavenly father. We can accomplish everything through christ. 

Love you all and hope you have a great week!!
