Miracles and blessings. We often don't see them until there's a point when we REALLY need them. Several times this week we have been in the right time at the right places. For example, talking to people in the street who we later find out had experiences that day preparing them to accept our visits. Or someone in the street who practically demanded that we baptize his son. He says he never parks at this store but today he did and it's not a coincidence that we passed . Also, we have been able to find so many other people who want to listen to our message.

                 Sometimes how we feel after an interesting lesson.

Our investigator that is 11 years old almost said she couldn't see us anymore because her church scolded her and her mom, but when we talked to her mom, she said that it was fine and they ended up coming to church!

We were passing by the house of one of our investigators and as we were leaving we paused and pondered if we should knock on this one door. As we sat staring, the door swung open from the wind. So took advantage of that and started talking with the woman inside. She said we could come back. It turns out we stopped by JUST at the right time. We are going to meet with them today to teach them and hopefully help their relationship and prepare them for baptism. It was amazing. Also, we have new members in the ward who are super animated to help us and we are very animated to have them help us! Blessings!

I have seen this sign for all my time here in Tesoro and only now have taken this picture. 'Todos los chapines (guatemaltacans) usamos El Libro de Mormon.'

This week I feel like I have learned some things and I want to share one. Sometimes we put our priorities on things like goals, numbers and success in this manner. But, if the people around us get cast aside, what is better? Which does God like better, goals or people? Where are your priorities in your activities? How we treat others is far more important than achieving 100% those goals.

It's great being able to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord. I know that it has been a true blessing. He just wants to help us receive blessings. Que maravillosa es la obra. I love being a missionary. :)

Ok, have to get going. Love you all! Have a great week!

Love,
