hola familia!!! y amigos! Oct. 20

wow this week has been a week of learning!! sometimes in the mission we have weeks that are hard and this was one of them!! not that it wasn't good it was just hard because not very many people wanted to talk with us! but hey we all have these times!! but we worked hard and i know that we gave it everything that we could!! and really it was a good learning experience! Saturday night we where talking with our leader and he was trying to help us not get down on our selves he invited us to pray so that we could know where we needed to work Sunday and that the spirit would tell us where to go!! well we prayed and really it was amazing we both felt super strongly that we needed to go to a part of our area that we have like never worked.so we said well lets put it to the test!!!

we went to this part and we crossed the street and a 3 year old says to us, are you going to go talk with my mom. and we said sure!!!! haha and we told us where he lived! we went and it was great!! we had an amazing lesson!! and little so we know! the older brother of this 3 year old is a member!! and wow it was amazing!! we talked with the mom and dad and they were both a little drunk but they wanted to listen!! the dad stops me while i was talking and said, i feel something, i really like the words that you are saying to me it feels good!!!!! it was so great!! and he told us that he wants to quit drinking but he doesn't know how to. i looked him in the eyes and told him, you are stronger then this bottle of wine don't let this glass bottle ruin and run your life, and he started tearing up! it was amazing!! really we are excited to be able to have another lesson with them this week!!!

then we went to there neighbors house because i knew that they were members and the mom was a little timid to let us in but then she lets us in and she calls him son and husband. well long story short they have testimonies of the church they love it but they have had a lot of problems with some members but the lesson that we had with them was AMAZING!!! really the spirit was so strong!! i feel like i have met then before and really it was great!! there son offered a pray and it was the prettiest thing ever!! he said that the missionaries have ears of steal because he didn't know how we knew that we needed to come he prayed that we could help his family and he is 9!! and isn't bauptized!! but really it was so great!!!! i felt so blessed  yesterday after a week really hard the lord helped us see that he really is working right with us and that we will always answer a sincero prayer!!!

i love this work!! i love latin america!! and the latin people! they are all so great!!! i cant believe how fast the time is flying and really i don't want to come home!! sorry y'all!! but i love it here and i don't ever want to leave!!!! love you all so much!! talk with you soon!!

Wow what a week! - Sept. 29

wow what an amazing week!! the lord blesses us so so so much!! really this week i have learned so much!! 

it is so amazing working with a new missionary they have a spirit that is so strand and they really bring so many miracles to the work!! we have been working really hard and we have seen a lot of miracles!!!

the best for this week!!! we are just arrived to eat lunch with a member family!!(yes mom everyday we have lunch with our members) and they invited a invest. to come to lunch with us!! it was good he walks in and he goes to give me a kiss on the cheek. (it is how you greet someone here) and well we cant greet the man with a kiss and it was so awkward.. because all i could do was move my head out of the way and say the hand no more!! haha it was horrible! i felt so bad!! and Juan... felt horrible. well we started eating and he wasn't really talking all that much and one of the sisters said Juan it is a rule that they cant greet man with a kiss it isn't that she doesn't want to... and then we explained our rule and he still felt a little bad but we were just like don't worry!!! it was funny!!! we then it lightened a little so we could talk and it was a great lunch!! we set up an appointment for the next day to be able to really talk with him and we left.. well then we go to the house the next day and one of the 1st things he asks me is "what do i need to do to be a member of your church".... lets just say i was shocked... i had this smile that was HUGE and it probably was pretty funny because i couldn't believe it!!! and then i didn't know what to say.... and the member that was with us just got home from the mission and he goes.. " Juan you just said the words that EVERY ,missionary want to hear! and know hna Griffiths cant talk!!" look what you did" haha it was funny!!! really but i finally got my words and explained to him that he just needed to listen to us and complete with the things we ask himn to do! and he said perfect!! it was amazing! and the best part is after we had an amazing lesson about the plan of salvation!! it was so great!! the spirit was so strong!! and he is going to be bauptized next week!!! really can i just say the lord works miracles!!!! it was so so so so so  great!!!!
