Hola familia y amigos!
I have been trying to remember some of my Spanish this week. There are a ton of Mexicans that live here that don't speak a lick of english, so I have learned about 5 phrases to find out if they are interested and where they live to send the missionaries. It is still a struggle sometimes, but that has been fun.
Our investigator Lili passed her interview and is getting baptized this Saturday by one of our recent converts. It is amazing to see how far she has come and the blessings that have come from her decision. She is getting baptized with her sister Juli who is 13 years old. How special would that be to be baptized on the same day as your sibling. Pretty darn special I'll tell ya.
Our other investigators Gilberto, Jonathan, and Alian are all doing pretty good as well. Alian and Jonathan have dates for the 3rd of October but that will hold only as long as they keep coming to church. They have told us the difference it makes in their week when they do come to church. Which is something that I wish I would have taken more seriously before I came out on my mission. Church is so, so important when it comes to learning and the growth of your testimony. Our Father in Heaven has set apart that day for us to worship him. And in return he has promised us so many blessings that we as human beings can't even comprehend. So I encourage everyone to go to church with the intent to learn. And you will be able to feel the spirit so much more and you will be able to put those things that you do learn into your trials throughout the week.
Tuesday was an awesome day! We got rain! And not just a little drizzle. It poured and poured and poured! So awesome! We were out walking around when it started and within 10 minutes there was so much water, when cars would drive by they would splash huge rooster tails on us. But we were just laughing and having fun. Unfortunately everyone disappeared into their homes.
Sorry I don't send long emails. I don't have a lot of time to be on the computers and I just don't like typing very much. So yeah. But I do have to go now. I will talk to you all next week!
Love always,
Elder Miles
