Dear Family,
Well, this past week was just a hard one. All our success seemed to hit a wall; however, we do have an amazing story. We have been looking for a new apartment because our area is going to be divided into two areas and we need it to be ready by the end of this week. We went into the new area and started to look for a new apartment. We found one and we were very excited but it was out of our price range. However, they said that they might lower it for us, they just need to talk to their boss about it. The people were so kind, but when we came back the next day, very bluntly, the boss told us no. So, we left and we were very stressed to find this new apartment. We went 4 to 5 hours of pure house hunting. I started to pray in my heart to help us find one. Elder Romo and I passed by this chicken place where they roast and sell chicken. We both stopped and felt like we needed to ask if they could help us. The lady working there was so animated and she told us no but she has a niece that works in that department and that she could help. She called her niece and it turns out she is member of the church. She told us to hop in (her car) and we began looking for apartments. Well, Elder Romo and I found a young man and asked if he knew where apartments were renting. He told us no and we started to preach to this young man. However, the member left us without us really knowing, but she came back later and said: " Elderes, Tengo cinco apartamentos para ustedes." We flipped out, left the young man, and went to that apartment. The member introduced us and we started to check out the apartments and we found one that is perfect for the new hermanas. It was in our price range as well. We told her we would come back the next day and begin to figure out the contract. Well, we went back the next day got the contract all figured out and before we left the manager of the apartments stopped us and asked: "Can you help me with something?" Well, we said yes. She asked if we were messengers of God. Well, in a way, yeah, we are. We then explained how we can have eternal families and that we can be guided by a prophet today. She began to cry and said: "My husband and I are in the middle of a divorce and I don't want my kids to go through this. I have been praying for messengers from God to help me." We have taught them twice and they attended church this week. This family is awesome. I love them to death. That is the story of my week. Awesome, right?!!
I love you all.
Thank you for the pictures and here are some new ones of me.
