Semana 28 - Enero 2015

Semana 28 - Enero 2015
Taco Count for the Week:  8
Total Taco Count:  303

Last week when I wrote I shared that we have been doing really 
well in our area!

We have so many investigators that are moving forward!

It`s incredible to watch=)

After having a successful week I was afraid to have a week that 
we fell right back to where we were!

I had this idea in my head.

"We obviosuly can`t continue to have weeks like that."

I stopped myself right then and there.

Repented.

And we put together plans not only to keep 
us at the level we are...

but plans that are going to take us even one step farther=)

Well, we were able to break our numbers from last week!!=)

I know it is only through LOTS of prayer, fasting, preparation, and FAITH!

We have a wedding this week with two of our investigators!!! wahoo!!!

It was super funny in the lesson...

We taught about baptism and got them super excited to be baptized.  We 
put their date and they started planning everything!

I pulled out my agenda and asked them very nonchalant,

"So what day can we put the wedding before your baptism?"

They both sat and stared at me for a little while and then said they 
were free Wednesday=)

PERFECT!!

One of our investigators that had his baptism this week had to leave short notice for his work to D.F.

But, he is going to visit the temple while he is there and already looked up the chapel and the hours of the services and everything=)
It made me happy=)

He will be back in the middle of February=)

My companion got attacked by dogs.

 It was very interesting to watch how it all played out.

First of all, Hna Iniestra is DEATHLY afraid of dogs!! 

She almost passes out every time there is some dog in the street 
looking her way.

(I`m sure you can imagine how many times in the day that is in Mexico)

She is 100 percent convinced that the only purpose dogs have is to 
find her and bite her!

So we were walking down the street and here comes a huge dog... she grabs my arm and starts pointing at it telling me how he just wants to bite her!

I kept walking... like I normally do. haha

Then she FROZE right in the middle of the street!

I turned to her and told her she had to keep walking or he would 
come to sniff her.

I turned around to see if she was coming and saw a herd of 5 dogs running straight towards her!!

They all started barking and freaking out and fighting, still headed for my comp.

They surrounded her and started barking at her.

I felt like she was the swimmer in the water surrounded by sharks and I was in the boat.

She kept yelling at my to save her but I had NO idea what to do!!

We sat in this situation for about 5 minutes... everytime she took a step they snapped and tried to attack her foot!

I watched to see what she was going to do...

She took a deep breath, folded her arms and started praying.

Immediately all of the dogs stopped barking and looked up at her.

She finished her prayer.

Put her hands over her eyes.

And just started walking forward towards me.

The dogs moved out of her way and watched her walk towards me, 
turned around and left!

I looked at her in amazement!

Neither of us said a word. We smiled at each other and kept going=)

Sometimes we underestimate the power of prayer!

My companion is always such an example to me of prayer! 

Follow my companions example=)

con mucho amor,
