So much happens on a mission, I seriously struggle trying to remember what happened yesterday...but for you, I'll work a little harder to remember.
Tuesday night we were at a lesson w/ Mayra and Krisitna, a 14 year old girl that lives in the house, asked if we were mormon missionaries. She told us that she was from Chicago and that her mom's friend used to take them to church in Indiana. We were totally shocked and then after explaining that she had a book of mormon she ran off into her room and came back with a quad! We just looked at each other in shock. Then she joined our lesson on the gospel and she had all the perfect answers and she even referenced the story of Job and connected it beautifully to our lesson and the point we were on. All throughout the lesson, Sister Riggs and I kept looking at each other in shock. haha! We taught her 3 times that week and she wants to be baptized but they are headed to Chicago for christmas and her mom attends a different church that worships on saturdays and has told Kristina that she wants all of them to be baptized together in the same church....She has 2 younger brothers that are both older than eight....let's see what the spirit can do in the next few weeks! :)
We're teaching a man named Frank that is a complete Alma the Younger. We love teaching him. He is so faithful and so peaceful. He has to wait a while to be baptized but we are excited to be a part of his process! He invites all of his friends to come to church with him. What a great man!
About half of the people that we are teaching are black or mexican. It is so funny because every time we tell our district we added someone they always say...is she black? Haha! They all want to teach an African American...and they should because they are so deeply rooted in faith in God. It is wonderful!
Well, I should share more funny things that happen but I don't want to strain myself on my preparation day so you'll just have to wait until after the mission when I've joined you all again in Babylon.
