dang now this was a crazy week! so this transfer i hav been working really hard on following the promptings of the spirit in the work to find the people that have been prepared by the LORD. and let me tell you this week was nothing but miracles!! so on tuesday elder glauser and i decided to go and try and find some more spanish people here in chalmette (most of our work is done in eastern new orleans) so we were driving down the road and we pass this trailer park and we both had a strong feeling to go down the road and knock some doors down there. we knocked the whole street and no luck! the only person who answered the door worshiped lucifer so we had no luck with that guy...
so we were walking back to the car and as we were walking we ran into this lady. her name is shelly. and she is the coolest person i have ever met. she is technically from the US but she moved to mexico when she was 5. she was baptized when she was 11 and then her father forced her into a really hard life. anyways thats not important.
we start to conversate and she has so much faith. she is the coolest lady in the entire world!!
anyways as we were talking to her a missionary lady from the jehovas witness came over to talk to her so we sat down in a lesson with them! it was pretty interesting. i learned a lot about their church and made me realize how true our church is! it was nothing but a testimony builder! anyways after the lady left shelly looks at us and asks if we remember this, she then starts to sing book of mormon stories and does the dance moves to go with it! it was so funny!
we were then talking about halloween and she showed us her costume, she got 2 prison jump suits and gave them to us! elder glauser and i had quite the fun with them this week.
dang so we are teaching this lady from honduras, her name is carmin. she is so awesome! i love her! last week we invited her to be baptized and shes like thats what i want! so she came to church on sunday and that was really nice. she showed up a little late and so we were getting down because we thought she wasnt going to show up. then she walks in!! anyways we went over last night to teach her the plan of salvation and when we started talking about the 5 points of the gospel we got to baptism and she asked us when can she be baptized! so we commited her to the 21st of november!!
well thats all for me this week! love you guys! thanks for all the prayers and various stuff that yall do for me!!
