Bonjour!
Haha, we haven't made too much progress on the French this week. We actually have been able to teach a lot in Spanish which makes me very happy :) We do have one investigator named Ge who is really close to baptism. He speaks a little English so if we can say a little more in French to help him that would be really great! Haha
We stopped by and taught an awesome lady named F (her name means flower). She makes piñatas and is very interesting. We taught her the Restoration and then came back for our return appointment and she had read the assignment we gave her and more! She is very interested and has a lot of potential! We're excited to work with her.
Ma is still doing awesome as well. We finished teaching him about the Plan of Salvation and he was shocked about the Spirit world and what happens after death. He is so smart and just understands so well. The Spirit is always so strong and he basically teaches himself every time. :) He was out of town this weekend but hopefully he will be able to come to church this Sunday!
On Wednesday the Bishop called us and told us there was a man who had come to the church and was looking for us. We got his number and called. It turns out he is a member who came here to work for a few months from Texas. He wanted to meet with us basically just to tell us that he wants to help us out as much as he can. :) His English is good but he is from Mexico and speaks Spanish. He was an alcoholic for years and then decided he needed to change and now he is very active in the church! It was a nice miracle especially because we can definitely use the help with the Spanish work here.
I have been thinking a lot this past week about why I am here in Austin. The other sisters who were here before were teaching a lot in English and then one of them even spoke some French so she could communicate with a lot of the Africans. Yet, the Lord wanted Spanish-speaking missionaries here. In the meantime we want to help those who speak other languages too, but there must be some reason that Hermana Maravilla and I needed to be here. I'm still trying to figure it out, but I have learned a ton in this past week and I believe that the Lord wanted me to have the experiences I am having here so that I could learn, as well as help others.
The gospel is true!
Love you!
