Tough One

This week was tough. It seems like it was the hardest I've pushed myself on my entire mission, and we saw no results. It seems like everyone in this new area either smokes, drinks, isn't married, or hates the "mormons". But we did see some miracles yesterday that brighten up the week. 

This week we had five different people tell us that they never want us to come back to their house, one day after being marked for baptism. Satan is super annoying.

We got to church yesterday, and I was feeling super down. We had barely anyone show up, and I kinda just felt like a failure. There out of nowhere, Micael, our recent convert from my last area shows up, and he helped me out. He agreed to do some visits after church, and we ended up doing visits with him til 9pm. And we saw so many miracles! 

First we met Carmelita. She is an older woman who lives with her sister. She said that our visit was the happiest moment of her life. She cried during the first vision, and felt strong that this was the true church. She will be baptized on the 2nd! 

We then met an inactive family who hadn't come to church in four years. We shared a spiritual message with them, shared a chocolate cake, and they all want to come back to church!

Finally we met Raony. He is the Son of an inactive member, and he was the biggest desire to follow Christ's example a be baptized! His father also wants to come back to chuch! 

God is so good! He is a God of miracles, and this week I truly felt His love for me!

We were also able to do the ward's first activity of the year. We brought the Escape Room idea to this ward, and it was a big hit! Everyone showed up! I'm starting to love this ward. 

But yeah, I'm super pumped for this week! We are going to keep working hard here. But I love you all and hope you have the best week!
