Helllooooo!

This has been such a crazy and awesome week filled with every emotion on the planet.

So a few weeks ago, we met a man named Patricio (baptized 2 years ago) in the street (not sure if I'm mentioned him before). He was drunk the day we met him and it was kind of scary haha. But anyways we have seen an INCREDIBLE change in him. He has now quit drinking and wants to quit smoking too. There was a HUGE difference of the light in his eyes when he became sober. I love teaching him. :) 

Sara didn't come to church this week :(. Pleeeease pray for her. She's struggling a lot with being able to forgive. 

We had a new investigator come to church this week!! Her name is Paula :) We've taught her twice and are going again on Wednesday! She's super sincere in her love of Christ and is a really spiritual person. She stayed for all three hours and said she loved the whole thing. :) 

So I had like another awesome epiphany this week. This morning actually. I've been trying to develop charity lately, so I started studying Christ's life. Gosh I can't even explain it in an email haha. But I basically just realized that Christ is completely self-sufficient and literally doesn't need anyone or anything or any of us... he didn't even need human experience to reach perfection. He already reached that level before birth. But He willingly left that status in heaven to come down to Earth and fall below the lowest of lowes.... to be esteemed as nothing... to be rejected... hated, misunderstood, mocked... because he knew that some would believe. And that was worth it for Him because He loves each and everyone of us more than we can ever love Him. Incredible right?? It was a hugely humbling experience. And all of that just because of a good study sesh. :) >>>not just for missionaries *hint hint.* Also I know all of that probably already sounds familiar to a lot of you, but I swear I uncovered a new layer of understanding but I just can't explain it and that's super frustrating haha. Just go and study His life yourself and you'll know what I mean. Maybe you'll feel what I felt. Do it do it do it!!

So yeah its been a great week. :) Learning lots. Loving lots. 

Love you all so so much!

Hasta pronto!
