Officially One Month 2/25/19

Alright! so It's officially been one month on the mission a few days ago! I honestly love it so far and the people and the area are amazing! 
So my companion and I had a really cool experience happen to us the other day. We had about 20 minutes of time in between appointments so we prayed about which of the "former investigators" to go to. We went to a couple of houses that didn't answer the door. We then went to a house a little farther than we were but felt we should go there. When we pulled up to his house, he was outside looking through a window. He told us his name was Sergio Jasso and that he locked his keys in his house and he was late for a hair cutting appointment. He was like "You're skinny" as he pointed to me and asked if we could retrieve his keys for him. 
My companion boosted me up to this window, which was covered by a dresser, and I was able to squeeze in and get his keys and unlock his door to the house. 
He then stated that he had recently gotten a DUI and was praying to God for forgiveness and he wanted to turn his life around! What a blessing! 
We set up an appointment for yesterday and it went extremely well! We also have an appointment today as well!
Another cool thing that happened yesterday was that we went over to the Zepeda's house to "bless the house". There was some miscommunication and i guess we were supposed to do that tonight instead. Since we were there, we decided to give a lesson. Joanna and her Husband Moses have been baptized, but Moses is a heavy drinker and kind of abusive. Joanna is awesome! her testimony is very strong and she is the rock of the family! She just got out of jail and is now clean from drugs so that's really cool! They have 4 kids and 3 of them are over the age of 8, so we had a lesson on baptism and got the 3 kids to confirm their baptism date for the 16th of March! I think that their baptisms will help Moses as well!

I love Y'all!!
