Hola todos!!
I decided that I'll try to send a better weekly email this week. I haven't been very good in the past. Mostly because my emails are over the phone, so I get lazy sometimes. But also p-days have just been more busy. But this last week was crazy good!! For example we had our first zone conference in person!!! The majority of the Spanish missionaries are elders, I didn't realize until we had the meeting in person. We got the news that starting next week missionaries can start getting the covid vaccine! In July there is also news that's lots of covid restrictions will be lifted!!
We had an adorable tour Thursday. This mom came in with her son and her mom. She talked about her mission and she has been trying to get her mom to convert but her mom is very catholic. She said it was a miracle that her even stepped foot into the visitor center.
Thursday was also amazing. Our friend Pia (that I've been teaching since my first transfer. ) we finished the plan of salvation with her and the spirit was so strong we asked her if she wanted to get baptized and she said yes!!! We were all crying and so excited we told her we were excited and she said "me too!"
Also sunday (yesterday) was a crazy day. I'll probably never forget it. We went to the VC to give a tour to our friend Lester. Which I'm so very thankful for my ward that I'm in. Our members are amazing. One of the members Omer and his family drove all the way to pick up Lester and to visitor center just so that he could have a tour. Because Lester doesn't have a car. And the tour was amazing, before he was having doubts about the book of mormon but today he told us that his goal is to get baptized!! And Omer said that we would be willing to drive him to church on Sundays.
Later that Sunday we had two of our friends come Mari and Yolanda! They are sisters and Mari brought her son Jacob, he is 11 years old. which it was his idea to come, apparently in past lessons Jacob was sitting in the back (out of view of camera) listening to the lessons!! The tour was so amazing the family opened up and we gave Jacob a book of mormon! So special.
Sunday I also had a not so good experience. During the tour with Yolanda, Mari and Jacob we had three people come in that only spoke Spanish. Hermana Siete and I are the only sisters that speak Spanish so they had us split up. So I had to give a tour by myself!!! It was the strangest experience. It was a husband and a wife that were recently converts and wife's mom was very catholic. They came in just to ask me lots of questions. Which I didn't completely understand everything that was being said. She started calling me names that I didn't know in Spanish. I did the best I could answer her questions, though I don't think that they were Sincere questions. The recent converts brought her to me cause since I'm a missionary I should be able to know where everything is in the Bible. Definitely wasn't my favorite experience but I realized after that there were times I didn't understand but God put the words in my mouth what to say. There were things that I said that I don't remember.
They said that it's very common in the visitor center that you and companion get separated and gave to give tours by yourself. So pray for me
