Walk

Some of you may wonder why the title is walk, but that's because this week almost every single day, almost every single lesson we had fell through which means we just went knocking doors. It's fine though because it was getting to the point where we needed to find some more people. I think this is the most I have ever walked or been on my feet in a week. But it's been good because we have still been seeing miracles. 

To start a few weeks ago we were knocking doors and we found an excommunicated member out of the blew. I'm not sure if I have written about him or not, but he told us he has the desire to get back in the Church. But this past week he and his pareja came to church! It was pretty awesome to see him came along with his pareja!

Then I think it was Wednesday we found a younger kid just knocking doors and then we went back Saturday. We asked if he could go ask his mom to see if it was ok if the missionaries could teach him and he said my mom is coming. I thought she was going to yell at us and tell us to keep going. But she told us she loved the folleto we left and wanted to hear from us. We taught her half of L1, and left the restoration for the next time so we'll see how the next time goes.

Everything is going good "training" Elder Gonzalez -  if anything he's training me in the mission. He has a lot of ideas to try and help out and a lot I've never tried before. It's definitely interesting being in this young of a companionship because we are both trying to figure out missionary work and how to work a sector but . . . we're figuring it out. 

Elder Gonzalez is pretty funny too, I think he thinks we are in a middle of a war zone and when people ask us if we are scared to be put in the streets he just kind of looks at me, it's pretty funny. Gratefully I know that the Lord will keep us protected as long as we are doing what we are supposed to be doing. 

That's pretty much it for this week, kind of a boring week nothing much going on. Just a lot of walking and knocking doors this past week. The mission let us know that we will be going to the temple this Wednesday so that is hype and will be super fun. We went in May and now we're going again in August before the temple shuts down for maintenance. 

Miss all you guys
