Milagros/Miracles

This week was really great!!!! Last week we were just walking around knocking doors and the last door that we tried in this one apartment complex was a woman named Claudia. She was really sweet and we set up a time we could come back to talk with her a little more. The lesson did not go that great truth be told. I think she expected us to just talk and she would just nod her head and listen. Also she might have thought we were really intimidating or something. Because each time we asked a question she would get really nervous and would keep saying she didn't know. She just did not seem comfortable. We didn't have a super set return appointment after that. But one night after dinner we were trying to figure out who else we could visit (after a few people fell through) and we felt like we needed to try by them again. This time her husband was there too! At first it was really awkward still, but we kind of explained that we aren't looking for a specific answer when we ask questions. We just want to get to know them better, their beliefs, and see what they think about what we say! It still took a bit to get past the awkwardness but once they realized we were genuine, Claudia especially, opened up so much!!! She was talking and talking. It was awesome. The husband would even throw in his opinion on some things as well. The husband works on Sundays so they wouldn't be able to go to church but he totally offered to ask his boss if he could have Sunday off. Which he said thinks might take some time but he would do it. They even came to our ward activity this past Saturday!!! I think they enjoyed themselves. We also visited them yesterday night and again they are beginning to open up more to us. I am really excited. I think they're super ready to hear the gospel. 

Speaking of El Noche de Talentos. It was super awesome!!!! Everything was like traditional Mexican dances and stuff. I LOVED it. So much fun. They are an awesome group of people.
