Hey EVERYONE,
So this week was a good week. We had a lot of lessons and we have had a lot of success. We have a baptism for this Saturday of a 13 year old girl that just started coming to church on her own and we just barely started teaching her this week and she asked us if she could be batized so we are quite excited about it!!! And then we are still teaching Antonela and she is progressing and has a baptismal date for next week and so hopefully that happens we just have to get her married first.
Miracle of the week: So yesterday all of our appointsments fell and we were kind of disappointed but we were walking and we saw this mom and daughter sitting outside their house so we decided to go ahead and contact them. We ended up having the most powerful lesson I have had yet on this mission. When we first talked to them the mom was like "we are catholic, so we aren´t interested" We presseda little bit and asked them if we could sit down with them for 5 minutes and just share our believes with them. So we did that and then we come to find out she was born Catholic but hates the Catholic church and thinks they are ridiculous. So that was interesting to hear her beliefs and her opinions. She became very open to what we share because we believe praying only to God and she hates how the Catholic church prays through Mary or Saints. Then we had a powerful lesson about Joseph Smith and prophets and we ended up pulling out a conference issue of the Ensign and reading it with her and it was just awesome. Both her and her daughter are super excited about the gospel and when we left they said that they had never felt this good about something in a long time. So we are excited to meet with them again and help them come to the gospel of Jesus Christ because they are ready for it and prepared.
Another great experience: So out at Yukyty we have a less active older woman and we just started teaching her daughter. Well we love teaching them because all of Clotilde´s (the older less active woman) granddaughters adore us and they are just great. We taught the first lesson with them this week and itw as great to have like 8 or 9 little girls around us. You could just feel their simple faith. I love feeling their faith and it really touched Marianna (the daughter of Clotilde that we are teaching). The faith of a child is really waht all of us need in our lives because if we have the faith of a child then we will feel the love of Christ easily and we don´t let the stupid things of the world get in our way of feeling the love of God and that we are his children.
Funny Story of the Week: I have officially decided that I am the biggest clutz in the world!! So we were teaching one of our investigators Fabiola, she has been investigating the church for 5 montsh and she finally has a baptismal date and is coming to church os we are really excited. Well she is having a hard time recieving a yes or no answer from God about baptism and so I prepared an experience from my life to share with her. I spend one personal study writing it down in Spanish so that it made perfect sense when I told it to her and such. Well when we finally got to teach her I go to share this experience. I really wanted her to hear it and to feel the experience and realize that it could be an answer to her prayers. Well I leaned a little closer to her and the chair fell over. It was so funny all three of us were laughing our heads off. IT was quite entertaining.
Another Funny story of the week: We were getting ready for bed all those that know me know I have to sleep with ear plugs (the worst habit in the world by the way, never start!!!) Well I had my earplug in my hand and then I laid it down to go turn off the light and when I got back to my bed I realized that it wasn´t where I had left it. So I looked for it and then asked Hermana Knapp to had be the phone so I could have some light to find it. Well I leaned off the bed a little and reached out my hand and I see the telephone light go on and start flying very quickly toward me. Before i knew it, it hit me right in the middle of the forehead and bounced all the way across the room. We laughed for forever. We were both crying and our stomachs hurt and it was just funny. (this may be one of those you have to be there to think it´s funnystories but believe me it was super funny!!)
Oh this didn´t happen to me but I thought I would share. So one of the sisters here in the mission Sister Plumer. Well she was walking with her companion, you know tracking, and someone dumped a bucket of human fecal matter all over her from a floor up. She was quite tramatized to say the least.
Oh and the reason for the title, yes I believe our apartment has fleas, we are really excited!!!!
Love,
Hermana Hubbard
