Hello family! Ok so this week has been pretty good week. Even thoguh the work whas been a little hard the last couple changes we can always see the tender mercies. This week we have had a couple spiritual experiences with finding ne wpeople to teach.

Last monday we had a few appts set up but they all fell through last minute. So we scrambled to set up some more appts. and we even went to a few invest. homes but no one was home or answering. Finally we got ahold of a member family that is preparing to go to the temple and we made an appt with them at 7:30. But in the meaning time we had to do some contacting. Whcih contacting here on a monday night isnt very effective. Me an my companion were walking fastly to mak it to the area where the member family lived. And we where going to contact over there for a little bit. When we walked by a lady that was standing out side her family carpentry business we were in such a hurry but we both felt impressed to go back and talk with her. It was so funny because hna alvarado suddenly stopped and did like a 90 degree jump turn and walked durrectly up and started contacting. I think we scared this sister a little bit but she let us in and now we are teaching a new family.

Yesterday we had just gotten don eating and we were leaving our mamitas house. Same thing happened and we had a couple appts. fall through. So we prayed to know what we should do we were going to go do one thing but then we felt impressed to see if a less activew member was home that lived near by. So we turned around and went to this members house but it turns out that they werent home. So we were leaving and came across an older lady named laura. She taked first and asked what are you two doing here in ecuador. We introduced ourselves. THen she asked when will you come by to visit with me. We were like righin now of you can. In our lesson she said that earlier that day she had been praying for friends that could help her learn more about God. She said that she usually walked down a different path to get to her house but change it for this on time.

I know that these two experiences didnt happen casually. I have come to learn that God will guide us and those who are prepared to listen if we are willing to listen to those promptings of the holy guhst.

Sorry well I have ran out of time. I love you all. I hope you had an awsesome 24th. Chao! hna WIlhelm
