More on New Area

hola familia!!!!!! how are you!!!?? alegran, i never thought i would love an area like i loved frutal, but i have learned that there are millions of pilas people everywhere we go!! We have met with almost all of the members and they have been giving us references and showing us the area and everything! We had the coolest lesson with the familia SAntizo yesterday, who were actually a reference like 4 months ago, but the elders never went to visit them! i do not know why, but the Lord has his hand in everything and this family has definitely been prepared. ill tell you about it in a minutes. We found three families this week that are all very positive. We found another woman, Ely, who has two sons, but her husband just passed away six months ago. She was a reference from our bishop and when we went to her house she kind of gave us the cold shoulder because it seemed like she didnt want to talk to anybody and hadnt talked to anybody in a very long time. But we chatted with her son outside for a minute and then we asked him if we could go inside and visit with him and his mom. He said yes and when we me Ely and started talking with her, she started crying, telling us her story how her first husband passed away ten years ago. And now her second husband, just passed away, six months ago. We talked to her about erternal families and how the Atonement of Jesus Christ will heal her feelings of pain and feeling like God has forgotten her. She was very receptive after that and now she trusts us and we are going to visit her again this week on wednesday. oh and to make things worse, she went from living on the top of the hill in a nice house, to now having the family of her husband take away everything and she lives in this little dumpy house with rats running around. so sad. The field really is white already to harvest and I have seen the Lords hand in every visit we have made this week. The Lord loves his children and is more aware of their needs than we are as missionaries, but as an instrument in the Lords hands, we are helping his children receive the message that Jesus Christ himself would teach them if he were present. For this we have the Holy Ghost and I am so grateful to have a member of the Godhead with me at all times.


The Familia Santizo is also a bien pilas family! The dad, the mom and the two children sat and listened yesterday when we taught them in their house with the family Samayoa. It was so great to have to Family Samayoa there with us, they are both returned missionaries and were a big srength in the lesson. I cant tell you how much my heart was full of love for this family, they are so awesome. we just need to pray for them that the dad will be able to find a job here so they dont have to sell their house and move somewhere else. We have a NDH planned with them for next Sunday with the familia Samayoa.so pilas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
