Cherry On Top

We found a super awesome lady this week! Coolest finding story too! If you remember, I sent home a photo of "Washington Square" neighborhood in reference to Washington Square Mall back home. At that time that we found it we said, more or less jokingly, "We are going to find and baptize somebody here!" So on Monday when we ran through our plans half an hour before the day ended, we drove by the neighborhood and I decided it was a perfect time to go. We had nothing else to do anyway. 

As we drove down the street we looked toward one particular house and knocked the door. Lupita opened the door and welcomed us right inside, no questions asked. She has been super cool ever since. She has read some of the pamphlets we gave her already, she came to church yesterday, and she even offered to feed us dinner. (We will eat on Wednesday!) She told us during our second visit that a week before we found her, she had started praying for guidance and she admits that we may have been the answer to those prayers. 

Definitely the highlight of the week. One of the highlights of the mission, even.

To put the cherry on top, we also had 4 less-active (haven't been at church recently) households come to church.

​We had our Zone Conference this week and President Torres changed a bunch of stuff. He even changed our daily schedule. Before, we would do all of our studies and lunch in the morning then leave by noon​. However, now we leave at 10 and do 2 hours of less active visits, and then do our lunch and Spanish study. It is super cool. It is obviously working already.

I am loving this area. And I love the people.
