God Guides Us Places Without Us Even Realizing That We´re Being Guided


Email received 5/27/13

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Yeah I didn´t know what happened but I didn´t recieve your email last week. But anyways things are going pretty good. I´m still here in Changuinola which I was SUPER excited about . I´ve been going on divisions with one of my ZL´s, Elder Goodson, and we´ve been working pretty good.

I have a pretty cool story. The other day I was with my Elder Goodson and we had about an hour left before we needed to be in the house. So we were thinking of who we could go visit. And then randomly I got the thought that we should go visit a less-active lady named Hermana Estrada. So we went over to her house without knowing why. But when we got there we found out that she had been having a rough few days because her daughter had a stroke. So she talked to us about it and we tried to help her the best we could. And then after we left we realized that sometimes God guides us places without us even realizing that we´re being guided. It was a REALLY cool testimony builder about how God knows each and everyone of us and helps us out when we need it.

That´s SUPER COOL that Cole is going to get his call this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I´m SUPER STOKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Work Here is Going Pretty Dang Good!!!!!!!!!!

Email received 5/6/13

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Things are going pretty good here!!!!!!!!!!!!! The baptism when pretty good. We baptized a guy named Alchamedez. It was pretty sweet. He´s a SUPER quiet person but even though he didn´t say much about it afterwards you can tell that he felt the spirit strongly and that he was happy. So that was pretty sweet!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha guess what? So we were sitting at Hermana Claribell (a recent Convert) and her niece who´s been to church TONS of times but has never wanted to get baptized came up to us and told us that she wants to get baptized this weekend. Ha ha so we´re going to have another baptism this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also we have another investigator named Angelith that is SUPER prepared for baptism. Seriously she was telling us that she reads a chapter in the book of mormon, the bible, and doctrina y convenios every night. And she also told us that the other night she woke up in the middle of the night and she felt like she was missing something. Then she remembered that she didn´t say here prayers. So she got out of her bed and knelt down and prayed. This girl is RIDICULOUSLY prepared for baptism. The only problem is she says that she´s still missing something. So we´re going to try to help her realize how ready she is and she also might be baptized this weekend too. So yeah the work here is going pretty dang good!!!!!!!!!! 

So about calling home. It turns out that they changed the rule and we can only call home on Christmas now...Ha ha just kidding. Ha ha but anyways here´s the dealio. We can still skype and everything but the thing is there´s not very many places that we can skype here. And since there´s 6 missionaries in my branch we have to spread it out. So Montero and I need to call Saturday afternoon. If that works for all of you. I´ll be calling at 3pm here so it will be 2pm there in Utah. So let me know if that time works. But yeah I´m SUPER STOKED to hear all of your voices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha that´s pretty nuts that we´re going to have ANOTHER missionary from our ward go to California. Ha ha that´s like the 67th person from our ward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;) And that´s nuts that we´re going to have tons of missionaries out from our ward at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Anyways, I´m SUPER GLAD you all are doing GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
