Miraclesssss!!!

Ahhh this was such an awesome week!! 

Okay so we've been working a lot with a less active member named Sara. Things started off pretty closed off and a little cold, but with time she started opening up a little more and even started inviting us to lunch! So we've been having lunch with her for like 2 months, but it's still been a little hard to teach her. Then we had the idea to bring a member, Elinor, with us to visit her. First you have to know Elinor.... she is SO LOVABLE AND LOVING. She just has so much love in her it's ridiculous. She's from Venezuela :D. Anyways, we brought her with us with the thought that she could be a friend for Sara to help her feel comfortable with coming to church. It was a great lesson and they totally hit it off. This was like 2 weeks ago. Then last week, Sara invited us to have lunch with her twice! So we did. :) And then another day we saw her in front of her house and started talking about how she had gotten a hair cut and it looked so good etc etc and how I had been wanting a haircut etc etc and then she was like hey my sister can cut your hair real fast if you want! And I was like OH MY GOSH YES. I wasn't even that excited to get my haircut, I was just excited that she was finally letting us meet her sisters!!!!! You see, they have a really difficult relationship and in the past, when we have passed my Sara's house, she has never ever let us in if her sisters were home. And we've been wanting to teach them too because they have also stopped coming to church. SO IT WAS TOTALLY A MIRACLE THAT SHE OFFERED HER SISTER TO CUT MY HAIR. And yes she did cut my hair. XD She cut it like way shorter than I wanted hahaha. It's all good. Hair grows. BUT YEAH. And thats not all!!! We taught her again the next day and asked her if she would come to church with us that Sunday. She said no. haha. Like a flat out no. Not a surprising answer, but still a bummer. But then guess what happened that following Sunday.... SHE CAME TO CHURCH. SARA CAME TO CHURCH!!!!! Sara, who we have been working with for like over three months, finally came to church. :) I wanted to cry. My companion did haha.

Also equally exciting... another less active member named Mireya came back to church yesterday too after not coming for over a year!!!!! She told us that one of the reasons she doesn't come is because she has to cook lunch for everyone Sunday mornings (lunch is a huge deal here). So we were like, no problem! We'll come over Saturday night to help you cook!!! So we did! But she already had everything ready haha!!! So we taught her a lesson instead. :) Even better. And then she cameeeee!!!! It was equally exciting but less of a surprise because she told us she was going to come. :)

So yeah!!! It's incredibly fulfilling to see people come closer to Christ. I love being a missionary. Hard days and all. 

And I love you all!! THANK YOU so much for the package you sent with Jorge!! I love it so much!!! Oh and I gave the package of Twizzlers to the family and they absolutely loved it. Said they wanted to save it forever and eat it as slowly as possible haha. THANK YOU SO MUCH. And Happy birthday to my mommio!!!!! I love you!!!
