the miracle for this week.... AMAZING!!!! really Saturday night we had a lesson and she we headed to his house and well he wasn't home.. his mom said that he had just left to go to the club.. we got pretty bummed! put we started talking with his mom and she was really great!! she is way nice and all of the sudden a 22 year old came up and started talking with her and said that he was going to try to bring her son home.. it was his friend... haha this is hard to understand i will put there names!! sorry!!! gonzalo is the man in the club our invest . javier is his friend that is going to go look for him and bring him home and mirum is the mom, haha this will be better!!! javier said that he didn't want gonzalo to go to the club because he was going to drink alot and come home drunk and he was worried that he would wouldnt make it home... he went away to look for gonzalo and we talked with mirium she explain that javier is the only friend that doesn't drink and always tries to help gonzalo change. javier came back said that when he went over there gonzalo didn't want to come so we gave up. we where just about to say a prayer so that we could leave and we invited javier to pray with us for gonzalo. we said our prayer and we invited him that he could come to church with us in the morning! he said that we would try but didn't know if he could. after when we where walking back to our apartment both me and hna castillo said wow he is a really great kid and we hope he comes tomorrow!!!

little do you know, i was giving a talk and just about screamed!! haha at like 30 minutes into the meeting when i was speaking javier opens to door of the church and walks in!!! WHAT!!!!!! then like 5 minutes later another member walks in and goes to sit by him!!!!! after the meeting we went over and talked and he said he really liked the meeting and was laughing and joking with all of the members.... WHAT!!!! he went to our class and had a ton of questions! he went to priesthood and the same a ton of questions!! after the meeting one of the girls invited him to her house!! haha they do like a ward prayer in her house every Sunday night with all of the YSA and it was great!!! and of course it is our district presidents house!! really it was great!!! he asked us when we can talk with him he asked us if he could take one of the manuals home... and so on!!! after all of the members where telling us how they could feel the spirit so strong around him and how he is really special!!!! and then after he tells us that for like 3 years our church has like popped into his brain our he saw missionaries or talked with members and said he always wanted to know more!!!! we are so excited!!
