Hellllooo!! Hows it going? Well it was a great treat to hear from you all this week. I love my family! I am so happy to hear that mom and dad are all moved and in their new house. That is so wonderful....also that i dont have to help witht hte food storage:) Well it has been a pretty good week here on the mission. We have been searching more people and you know we have seen miracles.
We found a hermano named Roberto who is absalutely awesome. The story about how we found him is kind of funny. Me and my companion had contacted an older man a couple weeks ago as we were walking to one of our appointments. We asked him if we could go teach him and his wife in his house but he wouldnt have none of that so we just invited him to general conference thinking that we would never see him again. Well the weekend of general conference went by and we didnt see him. But on wedsnday we were walking in the same neighborhood and this old man came runining after us and calling us. We stopped and he said can you guys come teach me in my house today. We were like of course. He seem super excited to hear us. So we went to his house later that day. His wife wasnt there so we could go inside without another adult women present. He was like ok than ran to three or four neighbors homes and found an older lady to be in the lesson with us. We get in his house then he said ok i would like to do two things. There were like four nonmembers there him, his two sons, and his neighbor. He said First i want the gringa to read an english book out lound and we will record it. (He is an english teacher for kids) Then second i would like you hna wilhelm to teach your message in english then you companion can translate it into spanish. We were like haha wait wait wait i can do this small service and read this book but we are hear to teach a very important message not only so that you can hear a gringa speak english. I read the book. Then me and my companion started a lesson of like normal like wiht a hymn and pray. The only person that was really listening and seemed interested was roberto the son of this hermano that we found in the street. The other son seemed very stand offish and wouldnt even touch our bible...he would only read from the catholic bible which is basically the same thing. And the neighbor lady was just nice to be there so that we could teach a lesson. In the end we were happy to have the lesson because roberto wanted to keep learning and the next day in a lesson he excepted a baptismal date. He also went to church. I am just happy that we followed the spirit and we found a new investigator.
It is crazy how fast the time is flying i cant believe that in december i will be home. It will be wonderful to see all of your beautiful faces again. I love you. Love herman wilhelm
