My Week

had a good one. got a new golden investigator that will be baptized the 15th!! and luz delia is set and ready for her baptism this week! I'm SUUUPER excited. i think i am having the most success I've ever had on my mission here in DosQuebradas. I'm loving it a tooon! gonna be hard to leave here. i already know it. and speaking of leaving here. we got transfers comin up this next week. its possible that they change my comp. but im sure im staying here til Nov or Dec even..

but yeah... i gotta tell y'all a story!!! this week one day at lunch with this REALLY old lady, we were sitting at the table and the hermana got up screaming and slammed the door and told us to follow her... so we went down to her basement hearing screaming men behind us outside the house. and she said "i say six men and they all had guns! get down on the floor" so we laid down and waited for about and hour. and we heard only one shot. then she got up and went to the window to look and said they were still there, but they couldn't see her. so i went to the window and when i looked i saw a police officer. so i told everyone it was okay cause the police got there. and the hermana went back to the window and said "what are you talking about?! hes right there!!"

then i realized, the very sweet (but senile) old lady thought the police were thugs with guns. bahahaha

i have another experience but I'm gonna wait to share it. and i only am telling you that i had it so that y'all remember to ask me about it when i get home haha.

weelllll.... i love you guys! just want you to know you're all awesoooooome. and i just want to testify of the power of prayer. and i want you all to know God protects His missionaries. and ALL His children. Always pray. Always. even if you don't feel worthy. Always pray. He´s the One that will NEVER fail you. Always pray. you can confide in Him.
