Buenas!
This Sunday I saw the hand of God. A few weeks ago, we were contacting a found a family. Before we even introduced ourselves, the wife told us to come in and sit down (that's how they are here). We starting teaching them and they weren't super interested, but they were willing to listen. They're so great and such a nice family. We've been the past two Sundays to visit them, and this Sunday was incredible. We had planned to go with the bishop and his wife, but I got a little lost on the way to their house, but luckily we saw Hermano Perez and he took us to their house. They still hadn't gotten back from the church, so Hermano Perez decided to come with us. The lesson before we had talked about the Book of Mormon and left it with them, and on Sunday my companion talked about the evidence of the Book of Mormon in the Bible. As I watched them, I saw them start to change. They started to really consider what we were saying. Then I spoke about the need to seek revelation. I shared a story in 1 Nephi 15 about how Laman and Lemuel didn't understand the words of their father, and Nephi told them they had to ask in order to know. I told them that they can't expect God to reveal the truthfulness of our message, they have to work! At the end of the lesson, I asked if they had any questions, and the father said "What do you want us to read this week?" I could see that he truly felt the desire to learn, and I have been praying so hard this week that he feels the Spirit as he searches. If he does it with real intent, I know he will feel it. Then we were going to visit another sister, but she hid from us, so Hermano Perez took us to a lady that he had baptized three years ago. Her name is Maria, and she is wonderful. She was so excited to go to church. She told us that earlier that day she had told her from that she was ready to go back to her church. We have a lesson with her tomorrow, and I can't wait to see how she progresses. The Lord really quided us on Sunday, it was a really special day for me.
