Well this week was pretty normal, just the usual. We one thing great
is we found a place that carries by favorite alfajores which was quite
happy because I crave them every second of every day and no one carries
them around here. But we had some pretty awesome miracles Saturday
that I guess I can tell.
Saturday was pretty cool I guess, we had a meeting with Brian Garay
who is going to help us with this project that we are starting for the
youth because our branch has more menos acitvos than active members
and so we really need to work on activating them and the problem is
is that Hermana Quartino and I can´t do it alone and so we are having
little MTC's every other Saturday and every other Saturday the youth
are going to go out and visit the menos act ivoes and so hopefully it
works and everything pans out. And then we taught mutual which was
fun, all the kids liked it a lot. Then we headed out and all of our
appointments fell, we worked hard, walked a lot. We finally had an
appointment that we were sure was going to happen and so we headed.
We got to the apartment complex and to get to the st airs to go up you
have to walk through this one car garage to get to the stairs. So we
started in and realized that there were 4 super drunk guys sitting in
the back of the truck was in the garage. We felt a little uneasy
but thought everything would be fine. So we headed in and go up the
stair s everything was fine. We definately had some gross comments
made and stuff but that is normal. So we got to the second floor
where Adriana lives and then knocked and knocked and she wasn´t back
from work yet. The problem is neither of us felt good about walking
past these men again. We sat and looked around for other ways to get
out of the apartment complex and there wasn´t so we sat down and
thought for a second. We had other appointments to get to and didn´t
want to miss them because they were with our two girls that are getting
baptized next week, so we decided to say a prayer and head out. We
said a prayer asking that these men would leave and that we could
leave in safety. We go done praying and they were still there and I
was scared to leave being the blond cleared eyed girl, well we headed
down the stairs. We got to the first floor and I didn´t want to go
any further but Hermana Quartino said that she felt everything was
gong to be okay and that she would stand between me and them and
everything so we started down. Then the miracle. All the super drunk
guys stood up, and walked out into the street, we were able to leave
the garage and then they went back in, it was way crazy and really
shows that the Lord protects his missionaries we just have to have
faith that he will do so. Don´t worry mom and dad that is the worst
situation I have been in here on the mission, Hermana Quartino grew up
in an area really scary and is super careful about everything and is
teaching me to not be so naive about situations.
The Second miracle of the day, we headed to our other appointments and
we taught our girls and then all the rest of our appointments fell
through and we had nothing to do, we headed to contact some references but
never could find them and we still had an hour left of the day and had
nothing to do, literally. Well we stopped and prayed and then we felt
the Lord guide us to this super churchie house, and Hermana Quartino was
like, no Hermana they aren´t gong to let us in let´s go find a
different house. I clapped anyways and his sweet lady walked out and
let us in and she is so prepared for the gospel. She is so confused
about what to believe and is so ready to ask the Lord and do what
he asks. she is great and really wants to do what is necesary to find
out. Then our last miracle of the week . . . .our branch president,
elders quorum president, and mission leader went out and visited a lot
of the menos activoes in the branch yesterday, that is an absolute
miracle we don´ know what got into them but we are super happy about
it!!!! Oh and this week we have to correct our branch president and
we are not excited about but it has been placed on our shoulders.
The branch president has interviews almost every week with every
member and then talks with all the other members about the
confidential things that are told in some of the interviews. We have
a few recent menos activos because of this, people who has super
strong testimonies but don´t want to come to church because everyone
knows their sins, and if they are paying their tithing and how much
tithing they are paying and everything. We feel bad about this and
we have to talk to the branch president. We will see how it goes ....
but the mission is going great. Sorry I really don´t want to write
more because my keyboard sucks and that is why there are a lot of
spelling errors and spaces and weird stuff, I swear this thing is
possessed it´s writing when I don´t even touch anything, so yeah. Well
love you all!!!
Love
Hermana Hubbard
