Happy thanksgiving to everyone! I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend celebrating being grateful and family.
This week was super awesome. For lunch on Saturday we visited the despida de soltero (bachelor's party) for a recent convert in our ward. He's super awesome and was recently called as 2nd counselor in the elders quorum presidency. One of the people that the other elders are teaching came and performed magic for us, which was an awesome way for him to get to know the ward outside of church. We also had some chorizo and it was awesome.
We also got to see some awesome miracles this last week. For one, we made plans to visit an antiguo contacto. We looked where his house should have been, but didn't find his house. A little bit further down the street we were surprised to find little alley way with the number of the house we were looking for. We went down the alley and found a completely different person who we weren't even looking for staying at the house of a friend. We were able to talk to him and it was really cool. Another miracle was with a Cuban lady who we've been teaching. She's been looking for work, and we promised her work if she would put God first in her life. We've never promised that before, but in that moment the spirit was there and it felt right. Three days later we passed by and found out that she wasn't there because she was working. Yay! Another miracle happened in a lesson we taught to a woman we've been teaching. She loves listening to us but has had struggles accepting the law of tithing. We brought with us a member from the Dominican Republic and her testimony was perfect. She shared her personal experiences with tithing and at the end of the lesson the person we're teaching was much more open to the idea.
That's about all. I love you all! I hope you have a great week!!!
