Four Months In!

Hola Amigos como estan!?:D

well my life is great and full of love and learning. Ok we found this new family last week and we finally got to teach her and i am so excited, yes her because her kids went to their rooms to play video games and we asked if they wanted to join us, but they didn't so we just taught the mother, i felt the spirit of love as we talked and she shared some wonderful miracles about her life. One of them was her twin boys: they were born at 6 months and the doctor said that they probably will have disabilities in the future , but no they are perfectly healthy ten year old and she knows that God lives because of them and she know that they were born for a great purpose. another experience she had was with her brother, he was shot in the head and the doctor said "no more monkeys jumping on the bed!" ha ha not really, he said that he was going to die or if he lives he will be paralyzed from half his body, but he lived had some side effects, and now he is perfectly healthy, so she know God preserved him and she  had this strong desire to express gratitude to Him. As we started the lesson with "how to begin teaching" we assured her that no matter what we are going through, what challenges we face, Jesus Christ and his teachings will help her, and that our message was not going to be learned in one session, but her understanding will come with time through,prayers, experience, and keeping Gods commandments. 

My companion is so cute i love her, she is really trying with the language and she is such a good reader i can promise you that she will get the language perfectly in like 4 months :) because she is a smart cookie. I am so excited for this family.

Jesus Sanchez: he set a baptismal date, this is the Cancer survivor, he cannot deny that God has, preserved his life for a purpose ans he recognizes that, he knows he needs to get baptized and sealed to his family', i love the family's attitude about the whole situation because they said it has brought them to be more united, and they don't even worry because their faith is so strong!

Claudia Avila and the whole Avila family:
so the mom is less active and her husband is not a member his name is Zaul, we talked to him the other day and somehow we started talking about The Book of Mormon and i ask if he has read it, he said yes, and that i read it occasionally (in Spanish of coarse)
then i asked "have you prayed to know if it is true?"
"yes, yes i have"
"so, did you get and answer?"
"yes"
what was the answer, how did you feel about it?"
"i know the book is true. i just felt peace."
wow right?
 so we are going to work on him some more

then Luis their son is 18 and we want to prepare him to go on a mission, but its not easy,

then we have Hector (L.a) and his wife who is not a member yet and we are teaching them
so we are teaching everyone in this house, what a miracle it would be if they all  were converted unto the Lord.

so did i mention that Me and my companion are planning a wedding soon, our investigator Nancy wants to marry  her boyfriend so she can get baptized. We testified that she will be so much m ore happier and blessed as she makes that decision and keep her promises with God and she said "i know, i am always so much happier when i study with you sisters, and when you leave my day just goes by so much better.
I also know that i have to do those simply things like reading, going to church, praying , doing good to others, because i don't drink or do drugs but i know i need to make these changes and i know i need to get married, so i can get baptized."

Me and my companion were so happy! i just jumped on her and kissed her cheek, well its very Mexican over here so every one greets each other with a kiss on the cheek, except for the men. So  you may think its weird, but its totally normal over here :)

well i gotta send you some pictures before i leave aah!

i wish i had more time to tell you all the stories. oh and i live we live in one big house with 5 hermanas, so much fun! we actually just finished our monthly deep cleaning:D so wonderful!
