AUGUST 11, 2014

This has been a long week!!! Not in a bad way though.

Monday we just hung out in the vialia, the train station, and just signed journals and hung out. It was fine, not many people came - but it was more for Hna. Grant than any of us. That evening we saw Milagros and Mari and Hna. Grant said bye to them. They are so cute, and really love Hermana Grant, they don´t want anyone else to come. They said it´s too hard when one leaves that they don´t want to meet any more. Then we saw Edith and said goodbye to her. She promised she would go and find a church in northern Spain and even looked online to find out where the church there was. She is excited to go, and it will be a good change for her.

Tuesday we saw Miriam and Milagros and had an amazing lesson with them. Miriam is from Paraguay and lives with Milagros the member. We watched the restoration the video and she started to tear up and said she felt really good. She accepted a baptismal date and Milagros started crying. It was super great. Then we got to say goodbye to Blanca.
My good friend, Blanca.
It has been so long since I´ve seen her, she has been stuck in her house taking care of an older lady. That evening we saw a member named Angela and she is super lonely. She takes care of an older lady too and just stays in the house all week long until Sunday. It´s too bad, then we saw Jenni and said goodbye to her. She promised to come to church. Then we saw Milagros at the park and it was a good lesson. She is from Nicarauga and will be baptized I'm sure. Then we saw Gilbert and Jhannet and they could not believe that one of us was leaving. When Gilbert prayed, he prayed that the missionaries would never stop seeing them. It was cute. Then we went to see Angelica. We thought she was going to feed us, but when we got there she said that she was just way too tired and just gave us cake. It was fine, we weren´t very hungry. 

Wednesday we went to the vialia and we saw a few of the trainers with their new companions. It was fun. Then we stayed there until Hna Grant had to go, then we had to babysit Hermana Muse and it was pretty much just a long morning in the train station. That evening we met a man named Monolo and taught him in the street. He reminded me a lot of Alicia from Alicante.  He is really nice but turns out he is in the zone leaders area.

That evening we had English class and then noche de hogar. We had the lesson this week and we taught about the atonement. It went well. Elder Rojas is here in the ward and everyone is flipping out because they just all are obsessed with him, but I don´t blame them. He is awesome! I love that guy. Michael came to noche de hogar and participated and had a good time I think. Then we taught him after. We taught about the restoration and it went well, it was hard teaching in english by myself because I was used to having Hna. Grant with me. Hna. Guerrero does a good job, but it´s not the same.

Thursday we had weekly planning and it went really well, then we took a nice nap!! I love naps. Then we saw Jenni and also Janeth and Milagros. Janeth isn´t as ready to accept everything as Milagros is. They are the two from Nicaragua. Milagros is awesome though. After, we taught Miriam and Milagros again. We taught The plan of salvation and it seemed to go pretty well. They promised to come to church. That night we went to teach Edith and her friend Ana joined us. We watched the restoration in English and it was the first time I had seen it in English and it was super good. After, Edith told us that she had a dream that this was the true church. I had never heard the story before, but she was telling us her testimony and it was super cute!! I love her so much. I don´t want to her to move.

Friday morning we had zone meeting. We gave a talk about companionship inventory. It was a little awkward. We pretty much just talked about talking through your problems. It went well though. Elder Rojas and Elder Olsen taught us and they are just such an amazing spiritual companioship. I love them both and they did a great job. The spirit is so strong every time they talk. After the conference, we went to Dominos and then we came home because I didn´t feel too good. I have Neuralgia so bad. Then in the afternoon, Kleuska accompanied us. We went to see Cinthia, but she wasn´t home, so we went to see Rosi and David and Michael was there and he let us in. We showed them a video and invited them to church. They said maybe they´ll come. Then we saw Bianca ( a less active) and her family (also less-active) We had quite a strong lesson with them and Bianca started crying. Then we saw Chris in the church. It was another lesson in English. It was a frustrating lesson because he doesn´t really want to do anything. Then we saw Michael and taught him about the priesthood. He said he is working his hardest to keep the commandments of God. He told us a story that happened the same day of his baptism. Right after his baptism, he got a phone call from a friend asking him to come work for a few days. He said ´´It was such a miracle. My first work in a year´´ He knew it was because he made the decision to be baptized that he was getting blessings. He is super cute! I just love Michael.

Saturday morning I was hurting so bad, I rested a little in the morning, but we went out to work. We saw Edith and taught her and then we went to see Soloman. He is Muslim, but he lives with a Nigerian Christian. We are going to try to teach him!! That afternoon we did splits and I went with Kleuska and Hna Guerrero went with Magali. We went and saw Rosi and David and we watched the restoration in Spanish and put English subititles so that everyone could understand. It was a good lesson. Michael loved it. Also Rosi said that for sure she was coming to church. Better than the day before when she said maybe. Then we saw Miriam and Milagros. We brought up her baptism and Miriam said that she wasn´t sure. But that she wanted to be sure. She said she will wait until she feels good in the church. I prayed so hard that she would feel good in the church. After that, we met back up with Guerrero and we went to the zl´s area to give them Monolo. It was a good lesson and Monolo is awesome.

Sunday was awesome. Full of miracles. Miriam cried in church (: from being so happy. We had a miracle come to church named Celestina. Our nigerian clan came and we sat with them. Yeah... I felt pretty cool. Rosi, David and Sam (Michael´s friend) came. It was cool. Also we had 9 less-actives come to church. It was pretty great. The less-active family bianca, they came and it was so good to see them there. The evening was long. It was a hot day and there was absolutely no one in the street. We just saw Edith and that was it. The rest of the day was getting a few futures. But it´s alright. It was good!!

Today we just went to a mall and bowled and ate food! It was pretty relaxing.
I love you so much!!! Have a fantastic week!!! (:
Love,
Hermana Sara Brown

P.S. Please pray for us to have 5 baptisms this month!! We´re working hard!
