This week has been pretty cold especially when its super windy, the wind blows pretty hard pretty much every day.
In the morning out apartment is always cold so for studies I usually wear a big winter coat over my proselyting clothes and a beanie and sometimes gloves. The good thing about our cold apartment is that it helps me stay awake for the studies.
So this is how the week went, on Friday we had a few hours of tracting and it was a very successful use of our time because we got 5 people to set up a lesson for next day.
Saturday we had a youth come with us to go visit the people that we tracted into the other day, his name is Emerson he is 16 years old and was baptized I think in June or July I don't remember, anyways we only had one person answer the door (people do that here all the time, they would tell us to come back tomorrow and would not even be home) this lady was our last option because she only spoke French and a little bit of English, it was really hard to teach her because she didn't really understand what we were saying and she didnt let us come in so we had to talk to her in the hallway with a lot of distractions and somebody was blasting their music the next door. We gave her a Book of Mormon in English but we are also gonna give her one in Spanish as well.
On Sunday we had 2 out of the 4 people with baptism dates come to church, it was Gabriela and her son Bryan but she only stayed for sacrament only because she said that she had a emergency so she left early but Bryan stayed for all 3 hours.
Later that night we went to help out a family in the ward the Hernandez family to help them carry a chair out of the apartment to their car, they are gonna give it to some lady who lives in Washington Heights.
Monday pretty much nothing was happening until we tracted into this cool investigator his name is Eduardo Polacios, he is just one of these people who the lord has prepared for us to teach because as soon as he opened the door and we started talking to him I just felt really good and felt the spirit, he invited us and pretty much told us his life story how he was drunk he got in a bad car accident and went to jail. After that he decided to change his life and that's when we ran into him and we shared the restoration gave him a Book of Mormon and scheduled a next appointment. I can't wait to meet with him again. We finished the night with a family home evening at the bishops house like always.
Tuesday we had service for old people again we serve them food, we had a lot of people this week because of the holidays and after that we just had 4 lesson 3 with less actives and 1 with a investigator.
This was my week I hope everybody is good and everything is going well.
