Super cool week! it provided pretty unique insight for me on how God works behind the scenes. It was a week full of rejection but also really cool spiritually led experiences. I'll start with a really cool miracle I had the privilege to be a part of:
OK so there me and Elder K were. it was Saturday, and out of like 3 or 4 Planned Lessons none of them ended up working out. With all the freed up time, me and Elder prayed about where we should go. We got prompted to go check up on this family in a trailer park, and so we went but they weren't there. As we were leaving, I noticed this man watching us from his porch. I'm like, aight Elder uno mas, let's go talk to him, and elder was like aight let's swing it and so we go talk to him.
Turns out he's a really cool guy named William, and he barely speaks English. He's pretty open to our message, and I know enough Spanish to explain and leave a book of Mormon with him and schedule a return appointment.
Sunday rolls around and while at church we feel prompted to ask Sis. Lopez, a really cool member with way better Spanish, help us out.
The time of our lesson comes, Me and Elder and Sister Lopez and her daughter roll up just as William gets home. What happens next is a really rad, spirit led lesson. during the lesson, We found out that William had seen missionaries as a kid in Nicaragua. he didn't know why, but he knew he had to talk to them but he was too shy. Long story short, HE HAD BEEN WAITING FOR MISSIONARIES FOR 52 YEARS. By the end of the lesson, everyone is in tears. they thank us for sharing the restored gospel to them, and ask if they can have a bunch of Spanish Book of Mormons because they were leaving to Nicaragua THE NEXT DAY and wanted to share with their family there. they're gonna be in Nicaragua for about half a year, so we caught them just in time.
All of this went to show me how in the details God really is. Had our lessons not dropped, or had we not followed prompting, we would've missed the opportunity to find literally the most prepared people I've met so far, and their fam in Nicoragua wouldn't have received the word for us. I know that he was preparing me for this moment, as I knew the Spanish necessary to get that return appointment. LITERALLY INSANE.
Anyways, sorry that was a little long but just wanted to share that experience with ya'll. literally love ya'll so much, keep up the emails bc they carry me throughout the week. know that even though things may look bad, as long as we are following the spirit the outward outcome does not matter.
