MILAGROS!

This last week was packed full of milagros! (miracles for you non-Spanish speakers)  This week we got 4 new investigators!  FOUR!  That's more than I have had my whole first 4 four weeks here!  We found this one lady, Patricia, in our complex about 2 weeks ago and told her we were sharing a message about Jesus Christ.  That's one.  A few days later, we were contacting in our complex again and we found another lady named Idilia.  Guess what?  She rents out a room in her apartment to Patricia!  So, 3 of our new investigators live in the same apartment!  The other one is Alberto, the husband of Patricia.  So, when we went and taught them, we got to know them a lot more.  They are Catholic (like almost all Hispanics) but hardly ever go (like all Hispanics).  So, since they don't go and since they study the word for themselves, they hardly know anything about even their own church... Like, they didn't even know what the Ten Commandments were... But, that's okay!  Since they don't know anything about religion, they might as well learn the right stuff the first time!  So, that was a cool miracle.  We found three new investigators in the same house the same week!  Our other investigator is Cecilia.  Her husband was supposed to be in the lesson with us too, but he went to Mejico for something.  His name is Joel.  He is the cousin of one of the members of the obispado here.  They seem like a really nice couple too and hopefully we can contact the husband too. 

OMJ.  The best thing happened on Sunday.  We found... ANGEL REYES!  YAY!  Elder Lewis and I were both thinking that we hadn't tried to contact him in a long time, and WE FOUND HIM.  Turns out the number he gave us was the number of his girlfriend, with whom he broke up like, 2 days after us talking with him.  So, all the times we tried to call the number he gave us, it was actually his ex-girlfriend.  We also forgot to write down his actual house number (we had the street), so we could never find him... BUT WE FOUND HIM!!!  Remember the questions about baptism he had last time?  Well, he still had those questions, but made himself even more golden by saying, "Oh, I think this life is just something where we are born, we work, pay bills, and then die."  What fun would a life like that be?!  Not fun at all!  So, Angel is so ready for the Gospel right now!  Oh man, it's going to be sweet when we finally are able to teach him.   

So, yeah.  That was the miracles for this week.  This is the last week of this transfer, so we are expecting to see a lot more miracles this week!  Everyone tells me I am going to be training this next transfer, and we will find out tomorrow!  I kind of hope I do, because I love greenies and their greenie fire.  They are just so dang cool! 

So, the 15th is this weekend... I have no idea if we are going to have 15 baptisms or not... But, from what everyone has been saying about their investigators, probably not :( There are lots of marriage problems (divorce, people living with people with who they are not married but they cannot get married because their spouse still lives in Mexico and divorce papers take forever and Hispanics are lazy and don't want to get divorced...).  So, I think the most we will have is like, 8 or 9.  Which is still really good! 

I haven't received any packages yet... Probably not until Friday or Saturday.  I am excited though!  Thanks for the sweet stuff!

Time goes by too quickly!  It certainly does not feel like 10 months since I have been out!  But, then at the same time, it feels like all I have done my whole life is just be a missionary!  I cannot even remember what it is like to do things other than missionary things!

Well, that's all this week!  We came early today because we have a zone activity at 11.  It's going to be SWEET!!!

Have a super wonderful week!

Love, Elder Hunt
