Hey everyone!
This week, overall was a little pesado, but we had the
day yesterday! We found two suuuuper awesome families- one a family of
five and one a family of six! Seriously miracles always happen after a good
day of fasting on the mission.
The second of those is the [...] family. And
wow, when they opened their door, they immediately invited us in, put us in a
room to talk with of few of their kids for a good while, while they were
preparing food for us (I had hardly shook the parents hands coming in and
didn't even know their names yet while they were preparing food for us). I
totally thought they already knew the missionaries or something, but the wierd
thing is that this family had NEVER even talked with missionaries before. So
when I found that out, I was absolutely shocked how open and friendly they were
to us before hardly even presenting ourselves haha.

The funny coincidence
though is that their ten-year old nephew was there too and was
apparently baptized in another ward just a few months ago! So, before we
started teaching, we were getting to know him and the other few kids there. [...] was saying ´Hey, I have that Mormon book!´ haha. Also, he made some
good little comments as we taught the Restoration to the family. It was
incredible though, during the lesson, there were eight of us squeezed in a
little room, and while we were teaching, they all listened quietly and
reverently.
The dad, named [...], seemed very fascinated when we introduced the
Book of Mormon, and committed to reading it. It was cool because yesterday, when
we came was also his birthday! I hope we were able to give him a good birthday
gift :) Not sure how you can beat the BOM!!

Also, yesterday after the familia [...], out of nowhere
came seriously the HUGGEST lightning storm I have ever witnessed in my life.
Man, it was actually so incredible. The first strike of lightning lit up the
whole sky, and literally stretched all the way across. In fact, the crazy thing
is it lasted for like two seconds, rather than just being super quick, so it
was like blinding! Wow, I wish you all could have seen it. It was sure
something. That was followed by many more huge stormy bolts of lightning. but
it was just so insane how long they were lasting, so we could just stare at
them haha. Then came the flash flood... Yeah that one wasn't so nice, because
we weren't too prepared...
Anyways, yesterday was really the only eventful day of the
week. It seemed like a lot of other wierd stuff happened yesterday too haha,
but I´ll just leave it at that.
Love you guys so much. Thanks for all of your support. Have
a wonderful week!!
