Family and Friends,
We got some exciting news, say goodbye to the good ole mascarillas, because we are now apart of #freetheface! So now we can have Zone Conferences and District Councils without masks, we don't have to wear masks at church, if the people we teach feel comfortable, we don't have to wear masks in their homes, and we can also eat with members now. So we are super super pumped. We can now go and knock any door we want to (just can't go door to door) and we can "non-aggressively" street contact! So basically we are back to normal!
We also saw some super big miracles this week! I was able to go on 4 different exchanges and we just went and knocked doors the whole time!
Baltimore: So I had heard legends about this one family, but they weren't in the area we were going to go knocking. But we were walking down the street and these people shout out Elders get over here. So over there we went. And it turns out it was the family I wanted to go visit! And they said "Elders we were just talking about God and how we needed to go back to church and boom God sends his messengers our way. God really be listening!" So we sat down and read 3 Nefi 18 with the family and they had some friends over, so we were teaching about 10 people! And then committed them all to go to church on Sunday and they accepted! Big time miracles. We then went and talked to this Lady pastor, and she accepted a Book of Mormon!!
York: We were in an English area. But we taught more in Spanish than in English Haha. We had a super eye opening experience to the power of hybrid missionary work. We knocked a bunch of doors, then came back to the car and had a missionary correlation meeting and a phone call lesson, and then jumped back out and knocked some more doors!
Gettysburg: it was super fun to go knock doors in that old town! I went knocking with an Elder who had never knocked a door before, and it was a little painful to watch. But he did one all by himself by the end of the day! We also were able to get like 9 people's contact info in the span of about 3 hours!!!! And one of the people we met gave us a CD of his band, called Hollow Creek Walking, and the first song if called The Devil's Den. So best of luck to those Elders!!
Columbia: We were able to meet a lot of cool people, and it one of the lessons we watched that testimony of the Book of Mormon by Calyann (Dwayne Wade's stylist). If you haven't seen it, go watch it! It's super super good. It'll get you hyped up for sure!
I love you all, keep up the good fight! Miracles are in store!
