SO
this week went great. Interviews with President George are always a
blast. He pretty much (not so subtly) suggested that for the next
transfer I will be opening up a branch in Comitan and training. But
we won't really find out until transfers roll around 2nd week of November!

I love interviews with President George. It's the best learning
experience, and it's always more like a conversation with a cool general
authority than an interview!! Afterwards we went emergency fabric
shopping with Hermana George and she made us skirts. I love Mama and
Papa George!!
So
the 40 day fast that we have been doing has brought MIRACLES
every day!! Hermana J is preparing
for baptism this Saturday!!! Also, Hermana D, our investigator, came proselyting with
us!!!! She's preparing for the mission.... and she hasn't even been
baptised yet!! It rained a bunch and we got soaked but she loved every
minute of it. Then we met up with Hermana Y and Hermano E at the church and ate
pelliscada....which is like a pizza taco thing..... BEST DAY EVER.
Mmmmmm....pelliscada!
On Wednesday our zone leaders challenged us to pray and fast for 3
people that we could find that day who could accept a baptism date. So
even though we had just fasted, we did it... and MIRACLES HAPPENED.
The
day before, we had contacted a family in the street, and went to visit
them with a joven who is preparing for the mission. Immediately when we
entered, we could feel a different and beautiful spirit. They are a
family of 4, and 3 of them are of baptising age. Getting to know them,
we could see how God has prepared them. When we contacted them that
morning, they had just been talking about what church they should join, and how
they should get baptized so they can raise their kids right. And then we
found them!
They told us how pretty much every time they talk seriously
about a religion, they run into a Mormon!! They all accepted baptism,
but the father of the family said, "Okay, I know I should pray, and go to
church, but what more do I need to do to prepare my family for
baptism??"
We just stared at him and shock, and explained a little about
the commandments, especially the law of chastity. (note....NOBODY is
married in Chiapas.) He said, "Well, we aren't married, but I guess we'd
better get on that if we wanna get baptized in November!!"
Haha.... miracles.
LOVE YOU ALL......
