We
have been going pretty hard out here in Tulancingo! This week we were able to
have about 20 lessons, which has been so nice since we had nothing when I first
got here!
On Thursday we had a
super fun opportunity to go teach an official English class and I got
to be the guest of Honor. They stuck me up at the front of the class and they
asked me questions, my favorite one was: "are jew (you) single?"
haha. They practiced introductions and found out really soon that my birthday
was this next Tuesday. They finished off the class singing "Happy
birthday," to me. It was super fun.
Right before the class
we received a phone call from one of our most progressing investigators, she
told us she wouldn't be able to see us and better yet never again. We were
taken aback, wondering what was going on. We finally had some time on Sunday so
we passed by her work. She at 18 years old, had come home drunk and her parents
blamed it on us. So they told her she couldn't meet with us. It was strange but
we told her that Heavenly Father wanted her to be her best and act like his
daughter. We hope to continue teaching her and helping her progress but because
of this, we were finally able to meet her older sister, Ana, who has a strong
desire to keep learning from us!
Earlier in the week a
family from my old area, two hours away in Pachuca, called us with a reference
of their family. saying that their family wanted us to come visit them this Saturday!
I was super happy to be able to go teach the hermana's Sister.
We were running a
little late, so we called the future investigator who was coming to pick us up,
it was a little strange but we jumped into their car and went to their house.
When we got out of the car and went into the house all the lights went out! I
was like oh no! I am going to be Kidnapped! The lights flickered back on and
then off again and then back on and the family from Pachuca jumped up and
started singing happy birthday! It was such a sweet surprise! I can't believe
they came all the way up from Pachcua to come visit me! It was such an awesome
surprise. They had brought cake, tomales, and of course jello! It was all super
good, and brought to me exactly when I need it! I know Heavenly
Father inspires people to go and do good, to strengthen and uplift
people! If you are reading this go and serve the first person that comes to
mind! It is from God! We were also able to teach the family a little bit too,
In my last area I had invited this family to really dig deep and focus on
the Book of Mormon. It was so sweet to hear their testimonies and how my
invitation played a role in it! Read the Book of Mormon! it will bless you in
so many ways.
Love you all!
