He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. - John 21:17

Great Week Eh?

So what a wonderful week it has been! 
  • We got a new sister in the district, her name is Sister Rivera. First change in forever up here in the great white north. 
  • In sacrament the missionaries had a surprise musical number. Surprise to us  - I didn't know they planned for us to sing. So we sang for the ward, thank goodness the sisters can sing. 
  • The Book of Mormon is awesome!
  • I got a hair cut today from a guy that learned in prison. Gave it to me on their front porch it was awesome! 
  • Spent just about the whole week soaked because of storms rolling through. The deal here is that if you wear a jacket on the bike you will be soaked in sweat, or without - soaked in rain but not smelly. So we rock the wet T-shirt contest here in South Texas;)  
  • This week was so filled with miracles! Rebecca was confirmed and given the gift of the Holy Ghost on Sunday and it was by far the most spiritual confirmation that I have ever been a part of! The Spirit is the greatest gift we can have while down here on this earth. If you can't have Jesus Christ in your presence well then you better have the Spirit. 
  • This last week the Lord was busy. One day on a way to an appointment we saw this car was driving towards us and we recognized it. It was the car to this less active family, the Gonzalez's, that we had gone by and they hadn't let us in anytime we went over. Well they saw us, put on their hazard lights and pulled over to the side of the road. They told us to come over that night. They are the coolest family ever!! We had the best time with them talking reading and getting to know each other. Well the whole family came to church on Sunday! The mother and her two daughters are working towards baptism at the end of the month and their dad is working to be a worthy priesthood holder again so maybe he can baptize them! They are soo great!  
  • Michelle, our best friend from Mexico, wants to be baptized this Saturday! She is going to have her interview tomorrow and we are super excited for her:) She is super cool! She has been coming to church and loving it! She has the cutest kids and hopes that her husband will follow her example!
  • Also Grace's daughter and daughter in law came to church this week too!! Amber says church is "alright" but really she loves it! I've seen it changing her a lot, little by little as she acts. And Bianca came to church! After months of us trying to get her their after literally anything and everything a missionary can do she came! but not because of us in the slightest! That was and is 100% the Lord's hand! You could see it in her! She came with a total change of heart, she was humble and seeking to learn! It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen! 
I know with out a doubt in my heart that this is the Lord's work. That God loves His children and has a perfect plan for each of them! And when we are humble and come unto Him in faith willing to act, that's when God makes miracles happen! I hope you guys have a great week I love ya'll a ton! 
Con todo el amor en mi corazon
