Wow, what a week!
Its been quite a week in La Toma 1. We have been able to see quite a few miracles this week along with the others we have seen in weeks past. I think these last 2 transfers I have really been able to open my eyes and give credit to the Lord and see the miracles He has given us. To start off we had 8 people... 8 people showed up to church this past Sunday. I think that is the most I have ever had so far and there were a few people that showed up that we were not really expecting. It was really cool to see them funnel in with all the members and know that they were feeling the spirit too.
Along with 8 investigators going to church, some inactive members were able to come to church. A little while ago I wrote about the hermana Yolanda that came for the first time in 30 years or so. After she went to church the first time she kind of fell off and we weren't really able to contact her or find her in her house. Saturday morning we were walking to a lesson and she was just in the street. We asked her how she was and she told us that she is going through a really hard time and she came to church this Sunday!
Some other miracles that have happened is that we were guided to find an hermano that literally told us that we were guided by God to his house. His name is Christian and works in Communications entonces he gets up at 3 or 4am and gets home really really late at 6pm. So it really is a miracle that we were able to find him at his house and able to find him again! We have quite a bit of hope for him and he also has a family that we can hopefully share with this upcoming week.
We also did some service this week with the Elders of Puerto Nuevo or the Elders we live with. We helped their Bishop move and clean some rooms of his house or areas he owns. He told us that his phone was hooked up to a speaker and that we had free reign to listen to music. So we listened to the new Post Malone song with Morgan Wallen and some Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, and you guessed it Zach Bryan.
Anyways, this past week we have been studying the war chapters in the Book of Mormon and this past week probably the best verse in the whole entire chapter was included. Alma 48:17!
Anyways miss and love all you guys!
