It has been such a rollercoaster with the Torres family this week. They came to the baptism the Gutierrez twins this week!!!! Here's the catch. One of them has autism so he got really nervous and afraid to be completely submerged in the water, so he put up quite a fit and was screaming like a lot. That was kind of awkward having our friends their BUT I think it helped them to see that we arent perfect in our church haha we are still humans. Also it was really sweet because we all said a prayer together for him that he would be able to calm down. There was just a sweet feeling there which was cool.
We finished our week long no sugar/word of wisdom challenge which was so fun. But unfortunately didnt quite inspire much change because the following day there was a big case of beer on their counter. Oh well, not everyone has an night to day conversion like Alma (Alma 36). We are going to keep working with them to strengthen their faith and desire to follow all the commandments of God!
Funny story.
Noemi was asking Sister Allen "Hermana conoce los frijoles?" Which in English would mean like "Have you had/tried beans before?" So after she asked in Spanish, she repeated it in English but she translated it directly so she said "Sister do you know the beans?" haha we were all laughing. I love that family so much!!!
This week there were so many times that we were in just the right place at just the right time. I gained such a testimony that God leads and guides us to touch the lives of those that need him most!

People would say to us "I was just praying right now before yall got here" "This morning we were just talking about how we need to baptize our kids." or "It's funny that yall came tonight"
I felt like Alma in Mosiah 23 when he says "Nevertheless, after much tribulation, the Lord did hear my cries, and did answer my prayers, and has made me an instrument in his hands in bringing so many of you to a knowledge of his truth."
I have been so humbled by the impact a short visit and a few uplifting words can have in someone's life.
