To answer various worried emails...
Everything is fine=)
Hurricane Patricia was the talk of the town this week.
Everyone was talking about how it was the biggest hurricane in the
HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
I think everyone here was really shaken up from Hurricane Odil
that hit Cabo last year.
They saw the announcements that said it was category 5.
Odil was category 3.
I can tell you there were a LOT of people praying that nothing bad would happen.
Everyone was shocked to hear what little damage was done.
But, I think it is real evidence of the power of prayer. =)
Apart from Patricia everything has been really calm this week.
We continue seeing mircales daily in our area!
The other day my comp was asking me the things that I was going to miss about being in Mexico.
It has now become a game.
As we walk in the street we always share the random simple things that make being a missionary great.
Being able to just walk up to someone and tell them your name.
The way people look at you in the street.
Having everyone offer you food the moment you walk in their home.
The banda that is constantly BLARING in the streets.
How little kids always yell at me in English, "How are you? How are you?"
Telling my comp I love her before going to sleep every night.
The awesome tan lines that we get on our feet.
Always showering with cold water.
Seeing the look in someone eyes the first time they feel the spirit.
Eating amazing Mexican food DAILY.
The way the spirit leads and guides you in every moment.
Receiving answers to prayers almost immediately.
Trying to find a rock in the sand to knock on the fence to get
someone to answer.
And if not...
Yelling, "BUENAS TARDES!" over the barking dogs until someone
finally comes out.
These are just a few of the million things that we mention every day=)
We have found a lot of new people to teach this week=)
And we are making a lot of progress with those we are already teaching!
One of the new investigators we found through his brother.
We were talking with another lady and he walked by and yelled at us,
"My Brother wants to me Mormon!"
We finished contacting and ran to go ask what he was talking about.
He gave us his brother's address and we went.
Almost ready to find out it was a joke...
When we got there we were both surprised because it was totally true!
He told us he wants to be part of the church!
We have started teaching and he is progressing quickly.
He use to be a drug addict... but he cleaned up his life
and now he wants to be Mormon!
We were also surprised by the investigators that showed up
to church on Sunday.
It is always interesting waiting to see who is actually going to follow through with their promises.
But all those that we expected to come didn´t come.
But all those we kind of just invited without following up...
Showed up early Sunday morning!!
It makes a big difference in seeing those that are really interested=)
Well, the time has come once again...
There are souls to save=)
Con amor,
Hermana Robinson
