Bad luck and a bunch of LARCS - August 25, 2014

Hi family,

This week was interesting. It has been raining like crazy here which has made it pretty cold. Here's a recap on this week:

Monday: Had an FHE with the De La Riva family. I love those kids! We played "little man" again. Of course, it was a big hit. Especially with Hermano De La Riva.

Tuesday: We had an awesome experience at the VC. A man and his wife (nonmembers) came in looking for help with family history. We have a little section in the VC that lets us do familysearch. We got an account all set up for them and after a little bit of searching, we were able to find a bunch of his family members. He was blown away. This led into a great discussion about the temple. We were able to teach them about how they could be with their family forever. The man started crying. They were both touched and were eager to get a copy of the Book of Mormon. We were even able to invite them to be baptized (which they said yes!). Playing the Christus at the end was just the icing on the cake. I am so grateful to serve at the VC! This experience definitely strengthened my testimony on family history. I am excited to keep in contact with this couple over the phone and hopefully we can help them accept this gospel into their lives!

Wednesday: Taught a few lessons but nothing too exciting to report.

Thursday: Absolutely NO one opened their doors for us. Sweet.

Friday: Nothing except normal stuff.

Saturday: Went with the Huerta's to a doctors appointment to help translate. Those doctors sucked. It's a good thing we were there because another Hispanic woman came in who needed us to translate for her. We also went to the Elders baptism. It was a miracle baptism. The woman is the aunt of a lady in our branch. She wanted to get baptized before she left for Mexico. She's a really sweet and awesome. We also got to teach Graciela. She let us in and then said, "Want to go talk with my brother and sister in-law too?" Um, heck yeah. So that was good. We have a return appointment with them on Saturday. Hope it goes through!

Sunday: Normal church stuff. We taught Relief Society. I know I say this every week, but the Huerta's are amazing. Their house got flooded twice this week from all the rain. Their carpet is ruined. Then, their daughter got sick. Satan has just been attacking them. But, they have the best attitudes. Miriam told us on Sunday that she was reading from the Book of Mormon and felt so much peace and happiness. This family is so faithful and trusting in the Lord. Love them!

And that's it. We're hoping that things will start picking up in our area this week. We are trying to look for the little miracles and they are everywhere! Even though we don't have a ton of progressing investigators, Heavenly Father is still blessing us a ton!

Hope you all have a wonderful week!
