Friday was a great day, I could really feel the power of the fast. We were contacting and we found a lady that we'd talked to a few days before in the parking lot of a store. She hadn't been really receptive before but we had more time to testify, especially about the Book of Mormon. She accepted a copy of it and said she'd read. Then, a little while later when we were walking back to the car, we saw her next door neighbor outside. We talked to him and found out that he and his sister had met with the missionaries years before, and they said they passed by really often, but that they hadn't been baptized. We asked if we could come by and they said we could come by this Saturday. Then we got into another gated urbanization. We're just breaking down all the walls here in Juncos. It was even pretty cloudy all day without raining much so we weren't dying all day. It was great. Then, that night we went to a member's house for dinner. They made us chicken and I'm not sure if I've mentioned this but Elder Visker is allergic to chicken. So he told them and their daughter said one of her friends had mentioned that missionaries had visited them and that one was allergic to chicken. We found out it was the daughter of the Carasquillo family, so she already has a friend in the church. That was really exciting, and that will be a good connection for them to have.
This morning during studies we got a call from the Negron family, they're the ones that have been going over with us to teach the Rodriguez family. Brother Negron told us that the Rodriguez family doesn't want us to come by anymore, we're not really sure what happened, they always seemed to really understand how it was helping them in their family. We're not sure what we're going to do but it's a really good thing they still have the Negron family to be there for them and to be examples and to be there for them if they ever feel like they're ready again. We'll see what happens with them. Edgardo and Givendolee's situation has been getting worse. They had us come over last night and we gave them blessings to help them get through. They're still looking for a house and haven't been able to find anything. Manuel and Keila have been good, we're still working on getting them to commit to a baptismal date though.
This week is stake conference, and Bishop Keith McMullin is coming so that's exciting. He might be speaking to the mission too, I'm not sure. Anyway, everything is still good here, we're still being blessed and seeing little miracles every day. I have really learned this is God's work and His will is always done. It's just up to us to accept it, even when it's different from ours. I love you all. Thank you for all the support.
