Week of Festival of Wine

I feel so humbled by what we´ve seen this week. It was a huge lesson for me that the Lord is in control of His work and is going to lead us always. 

This week has been the festival of wine. And all 4 of us missionaries here in Valdepeñas were a little worried about how the week was going to be. But we went out and worked and saw more miracles in one week than I´ve seen in my whole mission. 

We found new people to teach. One of was a woman I´d met with Hna Rocha but we´d lost contact with her. We saw her 3 times this week and then she came to church with us. Something has changed and she is so ready for the gospel.

We went looking for an old investigator that we had her building but not her apartment number. We were tocing people to see if we could get in the building and look at the mailboxes for her name. And someone opened the door for us, without questions or anything. When we looked at the boxes there were a bunch on one floor without names so we decided to go knock a door and see if they knew her. We toced a few doors with no answers, and then a door opened and this girl answered the door. When we asked for the old investigator she said, Oh, that´s my cousin. We went in and taught this girl who seems like she´s going to be an awesome investigator. And then when we went back for the second cita, she wasn´t there but the old investigator was, so we were able to have contact with them both!

We found people in home and found futures that were awesome. The youth still came to the activity we do every week even though everyone was out partying. The miracle about this is that the majority of the teens who come aren´t members. We even had 2 new kids come, who also came to english classes the next day, and THEN came to help us clean the capilla the next day, AND to church. They´re muslim. But they´re  hungry for good friends and infulences, and their parents love us.

So many miracles. There´s even more that I could say. But I´ll leave it there so I can answer the emails I have. But its just awesome to see the hand of hte Lord in His work. Before the week started we were hoping to be transfered out of the area for the week. But the Lord showed us that we are in our areas at this time for a very specific reason. Thus, feeling very humbled and grateful for the chance to be an instrument in his hands. IT makes me want to improve and become the best instrument I can be. 

Love you all! Have a good week.
