we´ve really be working hard with lots of inactive families and old investigators... and family... we has a miracle this week!!! we found this part member family... familia ortiz. their three kids (who are all now grown up) were baptized and active for a long period of time... but the parents were never baptized becuase they both need to be divorced from their first marriage. anyways... long story short: as a family they have been inactive for more than 10 years. but seriously.. they are incredible!!! seriously... from the very begining they have been so wonderful and inviting!!! (and i thought that was OUR job!! ha ha.) anywho... long story short they told us these passed 10 years missionaries have been trying to visit them but they would always lie and say that the family ortiz doesn´t live there. ha ha ha. and the dad, carlos ortiz, told us, he doesn´t know what was different with us, but both him and his wife felt something. ahhh... i love the spirit so much!!!! :) anyways... during our lessons with them they kept using the ¨excuse¨: everyone had their time and we will return when it is ¨our time¨... well this whole time in my head the spirit kept telling me to say, no. that just an excuse!!! but i was fighting it. i didn´t wanna offend this new amazing part-member family with so much potential. but no. family... i couldn´t fight it any longer. so with the most love i could build up from my little heart i told them: ¨yes. its true. everyone has their ¨timing¨... but sometimesm people use this as an excuse as well...¨

wow... family... it was silent. ad seriously my heart was pounding so fast. crap. maybe i shouldn´t have been so forward. ha ha ha. but then the dad spoke up and said, ¨wow. this north american is right!!! it is just an excuse!!!¨ oh my gosh family... i almost died. ha ha. the best part of this story doesn´t end there though... they surprised us this sunday and ALL came to church. all dressed up and pretty. and... carlos bore his testimony!!! oh my gosh... i almost died. at the pulpit he told this story and said, ¨and the norte americanita told me, its an excuse!!! and you know what, she was right!!! i´m never gonna drop the church again!!!!¨ oh my gosh... i had so much happiness in this moment... but so much embarrassment at the same time... cuz now the grand joke of the branch is.. ¨que excusa hermana forte, hey!?¨ ha ha ha ha. #soembarrassed #imthenewboldmissionaryfromtheunitedstates #oops
but yeah... i´m super stoked cuz today were gonna go and help them with their divorce papers... then marriage papers... then baptism!!!! ahhhh!!! then... with time... they will go to the temple and be an eternal family!!!! ahhhh!!! oh my gosh... i love being a missionary so much!!!! :)
