Seriously, I NEVER thought I´d say such a thing in the mission haha. But the Lord has blessed me with SO many incredible experiences with INSPIRED door-knocking, it´s amazing. A couple weeks back, we went down a street and left a ton of mormon.org cards, remember? Well there was one door that I really wanted to go back and visit...So we went one day, and a gal named Jaquelina answered the door, but she couldn´t attend us at that time. So we set up a day the week after (this last week). Unfortunately, we did exchanges that day and had to travel a couple hours there and a couple hours back both days. SO, we didn´t make it. ): But we stopped by the day after and left another card, saying we´d stop by...
This last Saturday, we decided to go to a "make-it-or-break-it" lesson, to see if these people were TRULY interested...We see the man cross the road, enter his house, and quietly close his window as we walk up to the door. We clap and wait. His son comes out, and we ask for them. "Nope, he´s sleeping, sorry." Fail. Alright, well that answered our question haha. We start heading back down the street, and Hermana Cerrato and I both glance down the road of Jaquelina. Hermana Cerrato looks at me, and asks, "Did you look down that way, because you wanna go visit them?"
YES.
So we go, and she lets us in!! We get to meet her adorable 4-year old daughter, Alma, and her husband even comes down to join us! We start talking a bit, and Jaquelina just starts talking with us as though she has known us forever. I was a little worried for when Mario, her husband, came in, but FAH. He is SO great, AND he´s from San Juan! All of his family lives in Pocito, where I did intercambios. Fah, I love it. They even want to come to church! :D We´ll be seeing them on Wednesday. (:
*Sigh* That´s just one of the stories. We had another one earlier that day, which I sent to Trista. The other day, we were walking down a street, and I see a woman cleaning up a couple of her wooden chairs outside, with her little boy. We decide to go and talk to her, and I ask her what her son´s name is. "Samuel se llama, tiene un año y medio." Ahhh, my heart melted. I told her that I had a little nephew named Samuel, and I got to tell her all about my nephew and niece, and my WONDERFUL family. (: The woman has already been to church before and some of the activities, and she LOVED it. (: We´ll also be seeing her this week.
Door knocking. I love it. Ready for some photos?! :D These first ones are from Hermana Cerrato´s camera.
