Miracles miracles. God has really worked Miracles here in Roble Oeste!! This week was General Conference... wasn't it so good?? Meaning, if you didn't watch general Conference yet, you GOTTA GO WATCH IT.
But first off I wanted to start with telling you about Familia Alvarado. Do you remember them? We had a FHE [Family Home Evening] with them last week and we watched the Restauration with them! And she gave the most sincere prayer? Well this week Hno Maradiaga (where we had the FHE) told us that
Sunday after church Hna Mayra (the esposa [spouse] of Fam Alvarado) went to go chat with Hna Maradiaga for like 4 hours asking questions about the great apostasy and the life of Joseph Smith and how it was restored. She said that it was so great and spiritual! So we went back this week with the bishop and his whole family! And we gave a cute little dynamic about strong family relationships (using an egg drop... all you gotta do is tell them they have 5 minutes to cushion the egg from any harm... the only catch is is that they can't talk and can only use one hand. They have cups napkins and tape. after the 5 minutes you trade eggs with the other team and drop them outside. I don't know how, but every time I've done this, the member family's egg always stays in one piece and the investigator's egg breaks. So then you talk about how they felt that it broke and start to relation everything. O sea [in other words], wouldn't it have been so much easier if you could've talked (o sea... you gotta have good communication in your marriage!) or wouldn't it have been easier if you could have used both hands?(you gotta put ALL your strength and love into your marriage) And then we talked about how Satan is always out there attacking the family in any way he can.)) Then the Bishop touched on the touchy subject with them about getting married. And they practically accepted it (they told us that they had important news to tell us this Tuesday). SO good news we hope!!! Then when we got to the conference
on Sunday, they were already there sitting front row!!! They are so great!!! And remind me to tell you a really cool story about now that they are following the commandments of God the husband got healed of an infirmity that he has been dealing with for 10 years!!
God worked so many miracles... He just waits for a little faith! In conference this weekend we had 12 investigators including 3 families! Even some contacts that we had made came. All the members got so excited cause apparently everyone knows her and her family and apparently before she didn't want anything to do with the church! She brought her 2 girls and she said that next week she'll be bringing her husband so that he can learn how to become the ¨man of the household!¨ haha
