August 27, 2012


Wow, this week has been eventful! We heard about the hurricane at the beginning of the week, everyone we contacted was telling us that a hurricane was coming, some people said Wednesday, some people said Thursday. Even the ward members called us to ask if we had enough water stored up. But nothing happened; all we got was a lot of rain, not even enough to stop us from going out. It was good that we didn't lose any time working but it was almost impossible to talk to people during those days. Almost everyone told us to go home because Isaac was coming. But I survived, so no worries.
 
We saw another miracle this week. So on Wednesday we were riding our bikes in Juncos to go make contact with some old investigators that we had lost contact with. While we were riding we saw a couple walking, and we stopped to talk to them. Their names are Luis and Dorca, and they told us they were walking all the way to their house in Las Piedras because he had a job interview in Juncos that he'd just finished. Then, a member, of the Church that lives in Juncos pulled up in her car. She asked if everything was all right because she thought maybe something had happened. We told her everything was okay and that we were just talking to the family, and she bore her testimony about how she found the church and asked where they were going. They told her they were walking all the way to Las Piedras and she said, "I'm going that way, get in" so we set an appointment and they drove off. Anyway on Friday we did a trade off, and I was in Humacao, Elder Raymundo, and Elder Lopez from Humacao went to the appointment with the ward mission leader and had an awesome lesson. They told us about how they moved recently and have gone through some hard times and they had been praying to find someone that could help them spiritually. They were both pastors but had some really negative experiences. They said they'd been praying and we were the first people who stopped to talk to them. They came to church yesterday and loved it. All the members welcomed them and they felt really comfortable. It was so cool. We've been fasting and praying so much recently for a miracle to happen in Juncos, and they've been praying too.  So it's been great. We're going to go over there this week to teach them more about the restoration and help them to know for themselves that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that our Heavenly Father has sent prophets to the earth again with the fulness of the gospel. I love the mission.
 
So everything has been going very well here. I'm happy and we didn't even see the hurricane. I hope everything is going well at home.
