Week 40 in Chihuahua - September 10, 2018 - What a Week!!

Okay,  so this week has been kinda crazy.
 
On Thursday we were contacting people in a place super far away from our house, when all of the sudden it started raining sooooo hard! 
 
I had an umbrella thank goodness but the wind was blowing way hard so I was still just getting soaked.  We started walking to a lady's house who is less active and for some reason I was on one side of the street and my comp was on the other. As we were walking I found out that I needed to cross in order to get to the house but I'm not kidding the street was literally a river of rain... I couldn't cross. 
 
Me and my comp kind of looked at each other for a second and then he kept walking hahaha assuming that I would just find a way over this raging street river hahaha but I did not want to  cross knowing that I would get so wet so I just stood there.  After a second a dude pulled up in car with his family  and screamed get in.
 
I could barely hear because of the thunder and wind and rain. I said I couldn't because my comp was over there and he said we will pick him up too. So I took my chances and got in.  
 
After I got in the car, my comp turned around to see if I found away across the river and I wasn't there lol I think he panicked a little but he started laughing as I rolled down the window of this dude's car and my smiling face popped out haha.
 
We picked him up and went to the family's house and taught them. It was awesome because they are way cool. They have a bunch of pictures from our church of Jesus all over their house and the dad told us that he feels like God has been preparing him for something with a bunch of small things every day but he doesn't know why. Aaahh it's literally like a perfect family and they are way awesome.
 
We also found a kid who told us that he wants to get baptized because he has a lot of sins that need to get erased and he went to church and he loved it!
 
On church they asked me to give a talk as we were walking in to sacrament meeting haha I wasn't as nervous as I thought I would be but it was different giving a talk with only notes that I manged to write on a page in my planner haha but I think I did a good job.
 
 
I LOVE YOU ALL have a great week!  Here is a cool scripture.
ALMA 7:23 "And now I would that ye should be humble, and be submissive and gentle; easy to be entreated; full of patience and long-suffering; being temperate in all things; being diligent in keeping the commandments of God at all times; asking for whatsoever things ye stand in need, both spiritual and temporal; always returning thanks unto God for whatsoever things ye do receive.
 
Have a good one everyone!
