Week 39: Una semana muy difícil y bonita

This week was pretty amazing and difficult. This past week I have been thinking about totally trusting in Heavenly Father and letting him use us in his work. We had a zone conference where we learned that we need to completely trust in him without doubting. Me and my companion always start with a prayer before we knock on doors. I decided to say a specific prayer to help us find someone. In the prayer I said "Please help us to find a woman name francisca that lives in a white house in a family of 5 people. " It was the information that came to my mind in the prayer and afterwards we were determined to find the family. About a week passed and nothing happened. We passed by a house and a man was sitting outside with a Dodgers hat. I said "Buenas tardes que tal? Tengo una pregunta, donde compró su gorra porque yo vengo de california! Los Dodgers son mi equipo!"(Good afternoon, how are you? I have a question, where did you get that Dodgers hat? I am from California and the Dodgers are MY TEAM!) He later told me that his friend gave it to him and that he actually didn't like sports at all. We started to talk and then we shared a short message about Gods love for us and how we are his children. His name is Loreto and he looks and reminds me a lot of my Uncle Jarond. He is a fantastic person and we invited him to General Conference! We passed by the night before conference and we found him at home with his family. Perfect! We thought! Lets share a message. We asked one lady that was sitting outside what her name was. "Bertha" she told us. We then asked the other lady. "Mi nombre es Francisca." I almost spit out the water they gave us. We continued to ask them how many people were in their family and they told us "well theres a lot of people in our family but the 5 of us live here." I flipped out. I looked up and we were sitting together outside their WHITE house. Our prayer had been answered. It was super amazing. All of the things i asked for in the prayer turned out happening. We are so excited for this family because they could be baptized. I am thankful that our Heavenly Father answers prayers! I love you all so much!
