Alright! This week has been awesome! Literally 5 mins after I sent my email last week, we had a miracle occur. We went to this referral' s house, but he wasn't home. His neighbor across the street is a member named Sergio that we visit with frequently because of personal issues. I felt inspired just to go let his dogs in the backyard. As I was reaching over the gate to pet these muscular pit bulls, I saw Sergio in the yard with his friend. We went over to talk to them, and we introduced ourselves to his friend. He said his name was Jay, and the conversation was kind of awkward. As we were leaving, we were heading toward our car when Sergio yelled from his door to come back. We did and Jay said that he'd been praying to God for answers and change. He said that he tried to leave 3 times before we came, and when we did, he tried to leave, but something made him stay. We had a really spiritual and emotional lesson with him for the next little while. He is amazing, and I'm glad I was able to be there.
We went to this guy's house a few days ago and helped him move this massive pig from his muddy pit into this trailer. After that I gave all of his kids Jesus pictures. One kid was like "Can I really have it?" And when I said yes he smiled so big!
I also went to Palo duro canyon today. It's the second biggest canyon in the U.S. we hiked to the tallest point named the Lighthouse rock formation. It was super cool!
I met 5 people this week over the age of 90. We were on our bikes and I saw this old couple sitting on their porch. We went up to them and talked to them about life and what our purpose is. The lady was 97 years old! I gave her a book of Mormon and invited her to read. She looked at me right in the eyes and said "Jesus loves you." And she said it really slow which was very meaningful.
I love you guys! I hope y'all have a good week!
