This weeks is transfers. I have no idea what is going to happen. My
companion has been here for 3 transfers and I have been here for 2 and I
just finished the 12 week missionary training program. I´ll let you
know what happens next week.
We had a couple days this week where it was really
hard to find people to teach. My companion and I were both pretty tired
and it´s starting to get pretty hot...we weren't having much success, so
we stopped and said a prayer asking Heavenly Father to give us a hand.
We try to be obedient in all things and are working hard. We continued
walking and passed the house of a young woman, my companion waved and
said hello. I asked ``Sister Castro, do you know her?``She said no, but
the young woman came to the gate and let us in and we starting teaching
her. It was one of the fastest answers to a prayer I have ever received.
We asked God for helped and minutes later we were sitting in this
woman`s house talking about Christ.
We went on splits this week with 2 young women that
live in the Elders´ area, Barbara and Amanda. One just received her
mission call and the other is working on her mission papers. We met up
with them after district meeting and caught the bus to our area. I
taught with Barbara and my companion taught with the Amanda. It feels
odd to be without your companion...but the two of us did just fine
together. We returned to the bus station after the lesson and contacted
ALOT of people. It was great. Oh, I forgot, before we went on splits, we
demonstrated to these 2 young ladies how to contact people and had them
practice. We were giving them a few pointers, when...a mother and
daughter walked right past us and we were able to demonstrate what we
were talking about. It was perfect timing. It could not have been better
planned.
It was about time for Barbara and Amanda to return
home, we were waiting and the bus station for my companion and Amanda. 5
minutes before the bus was supposed to live they hadn´t shown up yet. I
went ahead and had Barbara buys 2 tickets for the bus. At 6:30, when
the bus should have left, my companion still hadn´t shown up. Barbara
was kind of worried, but I was fine. We are doing the work of the Lord
and he helps us, even to catch the bus. My companion called saying they
had missed the bus that arrives in the bus station. They finally got a
hold of a member that gave them a ride. We stalled the bus for as long
as we could, and right when it seemed that all was lost and the bus was
going to leave, my companion and Amanda showed up and we sent both young
women home in safety. It was quite the adventure. My companion had a
good laugh about it later. We both had trusted in the Lord, and he
really did help us. The bus driver wasn't going to wait, but somehow I
convinced him to. It was great.
I love hearing about your exercise adventures. It
sounds like all is going great at home. Keep us the great working you
two, sharing your testimonies, and helping every hear about the gospel.
Pai Celestial ama voces. Eu tenho um testemunho do
evangelho, especificamente sobre o profets Joseph Smith, o sacerdocio, e
que o Livro de Mormon e verdadeiro. Familias poderao ser eternas. Somos
filhos de um amoroso Pai Celestial.
Amo voces!

P.S.
I found prunes here, I really like prunes. Who would have thought
that....I made my companion try them, she wasn't so keen about it and
doesn't really like them.
