Week 74

This week was definitely better than the last one haha! We really saw a lot of little miracles this week, and we learned that some of the "bad" things that we have been going through were actually hidden blessings, we just didn`t understand why until now! We also spent a lot of time in meetings this last week and it was good, but nothing beats just hitting the streets and working! We worked extra hard with the time we did have and felt the Lord bless us! 

One of the blessings came because we were able to really go by the Spirit! We had some extra time, so we decided to try knocking some doors in a neighborhood we hadn`t entered before. At first we were just rejected several times, but after a while we felt the impression to knock one more house before we went to a scheduled lesson (which we were already running late for). We ended up finding a lady that had just gone through some kind of cancer treatment and we really sick. It wasn`t the best lesson ever, but we were at the right place at the right time, just when the Lord needed us to! It was great to talk to her and share this message of hope and strength, even in the most difficult of situations! 

We also helped an older guy in our branch clip the wings of his ducks. It was fun! We had to run around and grab the ducks and then he would clip the wings. It was great during it all, but when we finished, we realized we were covered in poop and duck blood haha! It was not a very pleasant smell... 

We also cooked an Uruguayo BBQ on a grate over a bon-fire!  A nice lady from the branch invited us over for lunch and then put us in change of the fire. It was our first time cooking that way, but it turned out pretty well and the member was impressed! Haha! (I don`t have any pictures because for right now my camera is a little broke)...

Hope all is well in the States! Uruguay is doing great! It is starting to get a little colder so my days of getting sunburned are numbered haha! Love y'all!

Love,
