Hola Mis Amigos y Familia,
This week was really wonderful Hna. Garcia and I started working in an area where we were having a lot of success. I could feel the Spirit leading us through the streets to the houses that would listen to our message. One Evening we were talking with Hno. Celoni (one of the members that helps us out a lot) and he told us that those areas were really dangerous especially for a blonde haired blue eye missionary like myself. I felt really dissappointed when he told us this because I truly felt the spirit leading us to this area, and I didn´t want to stop going back. We are planning on talking with our Bishop about it, and President Avila. Hopefully between the two of them we will get the green light, but if not the people in those areas will just have to wait till Elders are put in Maipu again.
Yesterday was amazing. Hna. Garcia and I were just waiting for our investigators class to start when Hno. Percera came in and told us that he needed to speak with us. Apparently we started talking with someone in the street as he was walking to church this person came into church with us and was talking with the Bishop. We went to wait outside of Bishops office so that we could introduce ourselves when he came out. We saw what he looked like through the window, and our immediate though was this guy is a little weird, but he (Cristian) certainly proved us otherwise. Cristian was very respectly full as we showed him through the church and talked about the Book of Mormon. He asked a lot of great questions, and seemed really interested in our answers. I didn´t think that he would stay for Sacrament Meeting becauase he had just worked through the night, and was on his way home when Hno. Percera snagged him in the street, but again he surprised me. He asked us questions about the meeting set up and the Sacrament when it was time and then listen intently to the testimonies. Hna. Garcia and I had spoken just a few weeks earlier so we didn´t want to take this time from the member, but with about five minutes left in the meeting Cristian leans over and asks us if me have testimonies, and why we don´t share them. We informed him that we most certainly did have testimonies, but that we share them everyday, and that we didn´t want to take this time from the member. He gave us a look basically saying.... RIGHT! We both immediately went to the front and told the members of the ward that we knew this was the Church of Jesus Christ and that he lives. After we sat back down Cristian leans over and tells us that our testimonies were beautiful and that he was planning on coming back this next week. He truly is a miracle. I hope that he continues to progress.
Well that is about it for this week. I hope that you all have a wonderful week and that the Lord is with you in all that you do. I love you and will talk to you later.
Ciao,
Hermana Ricks
