Holy smokes this week went by super fast!! Mission time is so fast!!! It is crazy to think that I have already spent a quarter of my mission in the same area!! haha that is ok because I love this area and this branch. But I think that I am probably leaving after this transfer. We had some miracles this week that were super cool. So last Friday we had our district meeting. Well we also had an appointment with Gilberto at the same time!! We probally had one of the most insightful district meetings on my mission, we talked about baptism and how we don't give it the respect that we should when we are teaching! Well usually after district meetings we have these things called "real plays" it is when we practice teaching for one of our investigators. Well we were going to have a real "real play" haha because we were going to go teach Gilberto. Well we left to go teach Gilberto, and Elder Guzman and I both had the impression that we are going to set a baptism date!! for the next sat!! We we got in and had one of the weirdest lessons on my mission!! There really wasn't a lot of structure but it was very spiritual!! We were just kind of reading when JesuCristo visited the Americas! It was so cool the first chapter has everything!! We read it all, asked him to visualize it and then we talked about baptism. We then asked him if he would be baptized, he said, yes! We then asked him if he would be baptized in a week he said, Yes.... I MEAN WHY NOT!!!!! It was a milargo!!! (miracle) On Sunday when Gilberto came to church we had an awesome sacrament talk on tithing and after church he asked us how he can pay his tithing!!!!!! hahaha he is awesome!
This Sunday we taught the primary. It is really hard talking to little kids in Spanish, I don't know it is just weird. The Ibarras weren't able to go to church this week so that was kinda sad (new investigators). For p day we first played tennis and me and Elder Guzman beat the elders so we got free McDonalds! We then went to the zoo! it was pretty good except that we are missionary's so everyone was asking questions and we ran into a billion members!! some times we just need a break and watch some animals!! haha but after that we had some dinner and we then went to the hospital to see one of the members who has cancer and is going through chemo right now. It was very sad you could see the difference in her health in one week. She is super nice and her faith is so strong!! We also had a very sad experience there.. there was this lady who is a member that wanted us to give her husband who is predicted to die this week a blessing and to heal him....we had to explain that while yes it is possible for these miracles to happen, it has to come from God, we were about to give him a blessing and then a doctor came in and said that we had to leave. We tried to go in at 9:25 but there wasn't an answer.... so we left. It was hard leaving, but we had to. Then we pulled into our apartment and our dumpster was on fire so that was kinda cool haha we then watched the firefighters put it out... got to love missionary entertainment!! But yeah that is what happened this week!!!! Hope that you all have a good week.
