How to host 8 missionaries when getting thier Visas 3/02/15



Helllooo everybody,

Well, as usual, this week was one to grow, one to learn a ton, and pretty weird, because - as the title says-  lots of missionaries came to get their visas. And our house is really close to the mission offices, and we also have 5 extra mattresses! So, the first night, we had 4 missionaries more than normal, they were all supposed to go home the next day, but the offices were closed or something. So they came for a second night! Only, with 2 more missionaries. 6 missionaries :D Then, the next day they left. But SURPRISE! The sister missionaries from the Baja didn't have a flight until the next day. Anyway, long story short, it was a miracle that we didn't run out of food :D

We actually found 2 new people this week, - grandmas, actually. But you know what grandmas have? Kids, and grandkids. They both have lots of family problems and they're actually neighbors. It looks like we have a lot of work to do :) 

Alejandro is our new investigator with a baptismal date, and he has a really big desire to learn and wants salvation. Hopefully he keeps progressing. 

Something vital I learned this week is to follow the spiritual impressions in the FIRST moment. Because if we wait, we usually don't have enough time to do whatever is we were supposed to do! We were on our way home the other night and we passed 2 young women sitting down waiting for the bus, and we passed and 20 feet later my companion asks me, “Did you feel like we should contact them? I felt like we should have contacted them. Should we go back?" And of course, we returned, talked with them a bit, but didn't have enough time because their bus had already gotten there! If only we had listened the first time! So...Don't be afraid to do things - even if it seems weird. The spirit is our guide, and if we don't listen, he's not always going to try to help us if we don't want to listen. 

Have a wonderful week :)
