Week 42

So this week has been full of lots of ups and downs for Elder Moncayo and I. None of our baptismal dates are going to happen this transfer, if they do, it will truly come from a miracle which we always are hoping and praying for. This past weekend, every set appointment that we had fell through and no one was home and we taught like 2 lessons which is weird for us right now because we usually teach all day and everyday. But all that happened for a greater reason and purpose that we did not understand until lastnight. As all of our plans fell through and all of our back up plans fell through, we had a thought to go visit a sister that has been sick. So as we drive up, she and husband our walking right to where we parked and we get out and they say " well hallelujah we have been needing you" so we went in to her house and talked and listened to her crazy story about the hospital and how stupid the doctors were and in short she wanted me to give her a blessing or she was going to call her penicostal friend to see how that goes. So I gave her a great blessing and the Lord did something to her because she was blowing kisses and felt amazing after that so she was happy.

Then we had another feeling to go visit a brother that his wife broke her leg, on a banana peel of all things, and she has been in the hospital for about a week. They re not sealed together and we are working on that with them and he has been depressed and scared of her health while she has been in the hospital. So we knock on his door and he says " i can't believe it, come in!" He told us that he had been praying to God to have help to overcome this depression and crazy time of his life. So we gave him a blessing and he was so happy and grateful to the Lord and it made his testimony truly grow.

So we had a horrible day but it lead to the benfit and growth of two wonderful people that need help andstrength from the Lord. Love all you
