Well this was a good week! So this week started out with a family home evening with a part member family, and we invited a few families from the ward and watched the testaments movie, so that was pretty fun, the mom wants to get baptized but she has a problem with working on sundays that she just cant seem to drop, but i think with time she'll come around.So we have this awesome family right now that we're working with, its a mom and her 2 kids who are 14 and 9 years old. they really like us and we've been stopping by there every day for the last 2 weeks, and they've gone to church 2 weeks in a row. they are pretty much a perfect family, they ask a lot of questions, but in the end they accept everything that we teach. like when we taught about the word of wisdom the mom was a little unsure of whether she'd be able to quit drinking coffee, but she's already gone 5 days without it, and she said she feels better already! Yesterday in church though was just amazing though, so in the middle of sacrament meeting the mom, Norismá, leans over and asks us if her baptism is this weekend or the next, so we told her next weekend cause they told us they were gonna be out of town this weekend, and she said alright cool just making sure. then in the middle of one of the talks she asked to borrow Elder Baker's bible, and at the time we didnt know what exactly she was looking up, but later that day when we stopped by her house she was like hey i had a prompting to look up this scripture today during the meeting, can you explain what it means. so we looked at the scripture, and it was Isaiah 2:2, which is a scripture that talks about how in the latter days a temple will be built on the mountain tops and all nations will come to see it, so when me and Elder Baker saw that we both looked at eachother and were like "NO WAY!", and we asked her how she came to that scripture, and she was like "i dunno it just popped in my head, i'd never read it before" so me and Elder Baker were just blown away at this and we both just had huge smiles on our faces as we explained about how the a temple was built in salt lake which is on the mountain tops and people from around the world come and visit it. needless to say, this family is gettin baptized! so cool to see people that your teaching recieving revalation!! oh and on a funnier note, so a few days ago we were eating dinner at a members house, and the members son (who is 3 years old and an evil genius) was pulling on my arm trying to get me to play with him, but me and elder Baker were talking to the member, so i just kinda let him keep pulling me, and before i knew it that back legs of the chair broke and i fell on my butt, haha(it was one of the plastic picnic type chairs), i felt really bad about breaking the chair but the member said it wasnt my fault so i didnt think too much of it, but it was pretty funny, and the 3 year old got a kick out of it haha. oh and yesterday we found a lady that says she is possessed of a demon, so we're goin back there tomorrow with our bishop to cast it out, so wish us luck!!
