Okay, so something to share from this week is a journal entry I wrote. So, yesterday was basically a bum day all day. We walked around the whole entire day, found no one, entered 0 houses. Then, at the end, we had a family home evening with the Reque family. The wife and the husband have been having a bunch of marital problems. I haven't been sure if they're going to end up making it as a couple. But yesterday, they exchanging glances like I have never seen before. And right at the end, they comitted to continue fighting for their family. Yay!! But THEN, after dinner, the son of my pensionista (the sister who cooks for us) makes like he wants to chat. So, we're like, "Okay, we dig it." And he confesses that he's been wanting to go on a mission! And he says that he's thinking about going in January!!! WHAAT?! I'm McLovin' it because I was there when he first started getting that testimony back. When I first met him, he said, "Yeah, I WAS Mormon, but I haven't been in a looong time. I'm super, super inactive." And now look at him! And today, we went to see Nayelli. Maria, her grandmother, is not our biggest fan. And since Nayelli says that she does literally nothing without her grandmother, her progression's been pretty rough. But I love Hermana Escobedo because se just goes in there and attacks at full speed, no fear. And Maria starts to LISTEN to her! She looks at her like she's this supreme being who's been called to translate for te American. At the end, she's like, "Yeah. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are one in the same, just like God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are three different people but one in purpose." Pow! Blew my mind.
