Hola!! This week lot of things happened! On Wednesday we had a really cool experience with someone we are teaching. Hermana Anderson and I had some spare time during the day so we decided to drop off a Book of Mormon to our friend we are teaching because she requested one. She lives with a lady that we have taught in the past, so we thought to take two just in case we saw her. When we were walking up to the house we saw the lady that we use to teach sitting on her porch reading a book. She was a little shocked to see us and asked why we are here. We explained how her friend wanted us to bring her a Book of Mormon and that we brought one for her as well. We ended up sitting and talking with her outside for a while and it went really well! She said how she would love if we could start to have lessons with her again.
This past week we also received two media referrals!!! We set up a time to meet with one over zoom! This lady asked to have a bible study and it went really great! She had never really used or read the bible before but she had one from a friend. We got to know her and ended up sharing a scripture that we thought she would need at this time. She is super awesome and truly desires to have God in her life. At the end of talking we asked if she would like to meet with us again and she was so excited. She asked if we would meet 2 more times this week! The second person that we just recently met is an older man that is from Mexico. He has a friend that is a member that he talked to and was interested in learning more. He invited us to come over and share a message with him and his 3 grandchildren that live with him. We talked about how we can receive peace on this Earth and its through Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ(John 14:27 ;)) after the discussion he asked if there was a church close by that they could go to on Sunday!
Hermana Anderson and I also got to go do some service for a member in the English ward! She invited us to garden with her, but when we got there she had us first move some cut branches to the back of her house. (In Georgia peoples back yards are like mini forests) so she told us about a type of snake that is poisonous that has been spotted before! The whole time while there that is all I could think about and my comp kept messing with me by throwing stuff at me feet. I seriously almost started to cry!! Good thing God was looking out tho, am I right or what:)
I have been doing great so far in the mission. Yes my Spanish is far from perfect but I have been seeing improvement which is really good. I love you all and hope you are doing good. I know that life can be hard but through Christ we can receive guidance.
Side note: Cockroaches are real! This morning was my turn to clean the bathroom and I saw one! I literally almost threw up. Luckily one of the sisters we live with said she would kill it, so I'm super blessed for that haha!
