Zarahemla Week 47

Hermana Lemus wanted to teach us how to make
Pupusas! They were delicious!

This past week has already gone by in a flash, and I'm starting up my last full week in the field. I cannot believe that things are coming to an end, I still don't feel like it ever will end! But I'm happy to keep it like that; I have to sprint to the end! Anyway, here are some highlights from the week!

We saw a cool miracle the other day! We went home for dinner, and our whole evening fell though, and we had no idea what to do. When reflecting on what we should do, my companion had a brilliant idea to pray and ask the Lord for direction. We did so, then discussed. We than had an impression to go pass by a person named Raul, who had told us that he'd be home that night, which we had totally forgotten! We immediately left and started walking over there. On the way, we saw two Latinos sitting down, so we stopped and talked to them. One of them, Omar, was actually someone we had contacted before in the bus, but we left the bus running and weren't able to get his number down completely correctly, so we couldn't contact him. But, the Lord but him back in our path! We talked to both of them and set up appointments! (We had a lesson with Omar yesterday, and it went so well! He's very prepared!) Then, in the same building that we were heading to, there was a Latina woman just sitting down on the stairs. We started talking to her as well, and ended up having a 30-minute discussion! She was super cool, and loved discussing with us! We set up an appointment with her for this Saturday. It was an amazing miracle! Then, when we were finishing up, Raul and one of his roommates showed up, and invited us up! We taught both of them the whole restoration, and Raul was telling us how much he wants to go to church. We'll be meeting him and taking the bus together this Sunday! He's super cool! It was awesome to see how although our plans had completely failed, and we had no idea what to do, as we humbled ourselves and asked God what He had planned for us, it was revealed and turned out to be much better than our original plans! It was awesome!

There have been many really cool miracles like that happening all week, and I really attribute it to the faith of my new companion; he's doing so well. It's been so fun training him and being able to see all the progress that he's been making. He's changed so much already!

Well I'm grateful that I still have a good amount of time to get some work done. We will see many miracles this next week, I know it! Thank you for all your support and prayers, they mean a lot! I love you all!
