I´m glad that everone´s feeling better now, it always stinks getting sick :P
So about 2 weeks ago we met a young couple and their 2 kids in the street. We walked up to them and started talking -about the weather, their kids, local sports, the differences between the beans here and the beans back home, about loads of stuff (cuz that´s what we do)- and after mentioning our purpose as missionaries, they invited us to visit them and share our message with their family. This was awesome, because we had been fasting and praying to find new receptive investigators. But when we stopped by their house, nobody was there. Super dissappointing. The following week while walking in the street, we bumped into them every day! That never happens! So we talked to them a bit more each day and we put another appointment to visit them. And this time when we stopped by, they were there with there parents too! It turns out that the father (of the husband in the couple) was a member of the church too and that his wife and son (the husband) went to church too! They had stopped going to church a few years back but now the Lord helped us to find them again. They shared with us their desire to have an eternal family and grow closer to God. We taught them a quick little message and put another appointment to visit the couple and their parents too. Now we´re hoping that they join us at church this coming sunday. It just goes to show you that God´s always there. Here in the mission I have really noticed that God doesn´t abandon us. Sometimes we´re just not very good at noticing all the little things/tender mercies that he gives us. So remember that God has, can, and will guide you, and all you have to do is ask.
Con amor,
Elder Phillips
