Man this week was even better then the last! And last week was pretty great right? but Heavenly Father decided to bless us even more. I've no clue what we did to deserve it, but apparently its happening all over the mission. We have all really decided to push forward hard! So first, we finally were able to have a member lesson with an investigator that has NOT wanted to meet any members. When the lesson first started, it was really terrible because our investigator only spoke in English even though the member didn't speak English... But our amazing member just kept trying, and finally was able to find something that connected with the investigator. By the end, you'll never believe it, but they were CRYING together. So amazing. I really have no clue how it happened. and also, an investigator that we hadn't seen in a month called us to have lunch out of nowhere, and she had even read in the book of Mormon like we asked her!
As for the other random miracles, its seriously been like nothing I have ever seen before during my entire mission. Same for my companion. Our key indicators, how we record what we do throughout the week, have never been higher. So, we met quite a few people on the street. The first is the one I am most excited about. We were walking and say hello to this mom and her son, but after we pass her, my companion and I look at each other and decide we need to go back and talk to her. Turns out, she is Phillipina, and really wants to go to church with her family! So we hope to be meeting with her next week. Then, we were having a really not good day as far as getting ourselves to talk to people, but finally we just decide to talk to this lady as we are heading home, and she asks us to have coffee with her, so we explain that we would love to as long as we can have a smoothie. Haha and turns out she was really interested too, and we were able to give her a book of Mormon. Also, yesterday we were just sitting doing some planning before an appointment, and a man approaches us, and we explain what we are doing and he seems really interested in our church as well! This may seem like normal miracles for other people, but for me and for this mission, its astounding. Seriously, stuff like this only happens in south America or some other place haha.
The interesting thing we noticed was that most of our big miracles happened after we decided to change how we had been doing things and go back and talk to that person. Crazy how that happens right? We have to give up our pride and serve!
That's all for this week. Know that I love you all!

"earnestly contend for the faith" -Jude1:3
You can think of this two ways, changing the meanings of faith. First, we must contend for our own faith to be strengthened and grow as much as possible. Then, once we have obtained our own faith, we must contend for the faith or our church. Both are important! I'm glad we can be here fighting for that cause.
