but yes... this week was another fabulous one in the life of hermana forte here in floresta... so this week we´ve been focused on finding. cuz we´re kinda lacking in the ¨investiagator¨ department... so... with prayer, faith, and hard work: seriously, literally talking to EVERYONE we came in contact with... WE SAW MIRACLES!!! so we met this way cute girl names katy that sold us some delicious churros (chocolate covered and carmel filled... #fatkidstatus #missionaryproblems). anyways, so she gave us her address to visit her the next day... but... when we went to find her... it was the wrong address. like the ultimate ¨stab me in the heart¨ moment right!? well... then we started talking with the woman named rufina that answered the door... and... people... SHE´S GOLDEN!!! she´s part of another church at the moment, but she´s been questioning if its the true church for her!!! ahhh!!! i was dying with happiness!!! and as we testified to her, the spirit was incredible!!! wow!!! i love being a missionary!!! :) anywho, then she proceeds to tell us that she has a 16 year old daughter with ¨downs¨, and my comp asked if we could meet her... and wow. this girl is an angel!!! she definitely has more than downsyndrome though. not saying i´m an expert or anything... but with my little experience that i do have, i´d say she´s moderately to severly autistic. but wow. when i met ludmila, our souls connected. i can´t explain it. she cant speak, but she didn´t need to. she could feel my love for her. and i could feel her sweet spirit.... ahhh!!! made me miss my cute ladies at windy ridge so much!!! but yeah. anywho. then upon further questioning we found katy (the cute churro girl)!!! ha!!! shes the next door neighbor!!! and... we met her mom, juliana who is GOLDEN tambien!!! ahhh!!! it was such a great feeling walking back to our pench that day... the lord literally used us as a tool to find his lost sheep!!! WE LITERALLY SAW MIRACLES!!!!
