first of all, we now have housemates!!! there are now sisters in mayaguez and they showed up at their apartment on thursday night and found out it didnt have light and was disgusting, so they're living with us until they get it fixed up. so we have hermana guido and hermana cluff. and hermana cluff is STRAIGHT OUTTA THE MTC. #mems....... its a good time
fun news - now we are only covering the two cabo rojo wards! woo! im glad because it was very stressful covering 4 wards haha but now we are just gonna be working full time in cabo rojo. EXCEPT we have permission from the zone leaders to still teach tania from san german! woohoo! so we gave all our other san german investigators to the elders and our mayaguez ones to the sisters. woohoo!
lemme just say. cabo rojo is the BEST. the members are so BOMB and we have solid investigators. and its SO BEAUTIFUL <3___<3
in cabo rojo 1, the first week we went there there were 26 people in sacrament meeting. and then there was 30, then 34, and yesterday there was 40! WE HIT 40!! YEEEAAAAHHHHHH. SOOO GOOOOOD. we had a ton of less actives show up. every tuesday evening we go out with some ward members to visit less actives and its been WORKING! the member support is awesome. theyre all so cute and excited to have missionaries here. we had so many dinners this week and the members just love us. haha.
we found a miracle lady this week. her name is MIRIAM, and we have had 2 lessons with her and she came to church on sunday! AND gave us a ride! she was SO EXCITED, she showed up at 8:25 (and church starts at 9 haha). we have taught her lessons 1 and 3 and we were like "baptism?" and she was like "yeah!" and shes on date for march 17th. AND she actually keeps commitments! woohoo!
we got a SOLID reference for a family this week who was taught by missionaries like 5 years ago but moved away but just moved back! we had a lesson with them and they are awesome. la familia guzman! their daughter got baptized (but she lives in florida now) but they have a TON of potential and went to church a ton and stuff. we had our first lesson with them last night and theyre awesome. REFERENCES!
this week we were looking for less actives in this one apartment complex and we saw these kids walking around and started talking to them. and then they told us that their mom was changing the tire on their car right outside. so we walked over with them and started talking to the mom and she was like "yeah its been a hard day..." and just started crying for like 10 minutes and kept saying "mi vida no ha sido facil...". it was SO SAD. but we stood there and tried to cheer her up and she said we could come back and teach her and we did and shes so awesome! she has indeed had a very hard life but she has never even talked to missionaries before! so we can help her out. and she has the cutest kids in the WORLD. except for the ones who are related to me! haha
so ive mentioned that we are teaching dolores, but i HAVENT mentioned that we are also teaching her friend vivian. vivan is usually there when we teach dolores and this week we went over to teach and she was like "ya know, the first time you came over, about an hour before i told dolores that i wanted to find the right church" WHAT??? crazy. so she's awesome and was gonna come to church but shes also old and really sick and got sick on saturday so she couldnt :( but shes another super good investigator who is defs progressing. and shes down for baptism.
today we went to EL FARO!! a member from cabo rojo 1 brought us and it is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEST P DAY EVER!!! its right on the beach and we walked around and saw all this STUFF!!! it was sick. MANY PICS TO COME!
