This week we had zone conference. It was pretty good in terms of gaining more knowledge about being a more successful missionary.
As the days go on, the love I have for these people grows. My companion and I had a lesson with this man named Sergio and it lasted 2 and a half hours! The people are so friendly and love to talk. While we were at Sergio's, he fed us a chicken that still had the organs left in it so I had some chicken liver that was kind of weird.
We went to this guy's house who is an ex gang leader and drug dealer named Moses and we got him to come to church! That was super cool!
The Zepeda kids, are getting baptized in 12 days and I'm excited to see them progress! We stopped by the other night and gave them all their own copy of the book of mormon with their names written inside of it. It was really cool to see that as they saw their name written in the top of the first page, the book became more personal to them.
I was able to mow Randell's lawn and do some yard work for him the other day. We were planning on doing some more labor work for him this morning, so we were in our work clothes and went to his house. He wasn't there and we called him with no answer. He finally texted us and said that he'll let us know when he gets home. We went to a dollar store and a convenience store to waste a little time before he called. I then said to my companion that we should go to Carl's Jr. to get something to eat. He agreed and when we walked in, there was Randell! We ate lunch with him and now we're at the library together (again!). I thought it was my stomach telling me to go there for lunch, but I guess it was the spirit!
I know that as I follow every prompting the spirit gives me, blessings will happen for those who needs the missionaries at that time. I love you all! Have a great week!
