Hello Family,
First off, i was just talking to mom and she said how you all had a family fast for Michael yesterday. I had no idea but was fasting for the exact same thing. That just shows how real the spirit is and also how strong our bond is as a family. :) Michael we are all so excited for you to go serve, and i promise with this team behind you, you`re never going to fall. And it doesnt matter where we are in the world, or what we are doing, our family will always be the strongest, coolest and best team in the world. We alll love you soo much Michael. And i am soo excited to see you get out and start serving. and well i will write more next week because you`ve still got more time :)
So this week was called Sacrifce Week. It was an idea that President has that we will be doing every month. It was a sacrifice, but it was amazing. So Tuesday-Friday we woke up at 5:30, did our normal morning routine and left the house at 7 to start preaching to the whole world. :) and so every morning we went to a different part of the zone and talked to everyone. Here`s how it went...
Tuesday: We all went to Puriscal. This used to have sisters, but they had a white wash and now it`s elders, so they didn't really know there area still but knew names. so they assigned areas to us to go and talk to everyone and knock on all the doors. So we had a little part assigned but the cool thing was the me and Hermana Garcia had both already worked there because of divisions with the hermanas. So we actually went, found were the people were that we had taught, and set up appointments and got directions so the elders could come back to teach them. After we came back to our area and saw a ton of miracles, and found 7 new investigators :)
Wednesday: The morning we all spent in Ciudad Colon. This is also the area of hermanas so we knew a little bit of the area, but this time we were assigned to another part. So we just started knocking on doors, and found a young women, that had listened to the missionaries a while ago,but had a bad experience, so we were able to sit down and talk to her, by the end she wanted once again to listen to the missionaries so that was cool! Also a lady in the street stopped me and said "sorry you look a lot like one of my friends so i just had to say hi" so i asked her what her friends name was and she said "Flower" and then described her... ya it was hermana Fowler ;) hahaha and that day when we got back we went out and found 9 new investigators. Yes the field is ripe and ready to harvest. :):) 5 of them was a family and we left them a Book of Mormon and they are already reading it!!
Thursday: Santa Ana where we totally got lost because we knew nothing... haha but we talk to a bunch of people and found a lot of families for the Elders to teach. Then we came back to our area and contacted in a new part and found 4 new :):) 2 of them are the ones i sent pictures of and they are soo cute. :) Also we had an appointment on Thursday with a man named Osvaldo and he`s a man that has had a pretty crazy life and is now ready to turn it around and live it in the way that he should. i love listening the people tell there stories and see the really God is directing them in every step of their lives until they are ready to open their heart, and then puts us in their path. And if we dont talk to them, they`ll talk to us. And that is what happened with him. One day in the part he just said hey do you guys have those little pamphlets that i can read? then the next sunday he was at church and now he`s progressing super fast! it`s amazing :)
Friday: was SICK!!! the whole zone went to San Jose and did ¨park preaching¨ and just talked to about everyone we could!! I felt like i was on a movie because we`d all just stop in the middle of this huge city and start singing a hymn and people would stop and listen to us!! It was sooo cool!!! :)
So that was just 4 days of my week, Saturday and Sunday were normal days and i`ve never been so happy to sleep in til 6:30 before :) :) haha but by the end of the week we had talked to over 350 people and found 25 new investigators that want to listen and are sooo ready to accept the gospel.It is amazing to see how God blesses us. Sacrifice really does bring blessings :):)
Also thank you for the prayers for Lubi and Ramon. Ramon now has a job!!!!! Which is such a miracle, the only bad thing is that he is now working on Sunday..... but he has soooo much faith that everything is going to work out and we do too :)
Well i am out of time but i love you all soooo much!!! Good luck with this week! Especially my little buddy Michael!! :):) Go killl it :)
LOVE YOU ALLLL.
Love,
Hermana Peters
