We had a really awesome week! We had a little bit of walking here and there, but all this walking is finally starting to come through and help us out. Well to start we were contacting one day and it has been super hard to find new people interested in hearing the gospel. So that has been our main focus for the last little while.  It has been kind of hard, and really interesting to see is all try to play out. We finally found an elderly couple who is interested in hearing about the gospel! That was an answer to our prayers!

Anyway, we had kind of a special experience. We went to lunch with a newly reactivated member, with one of her friends and we weren't expecting her husband to get home in time so we ate without him. Or we started without him at least. We were there and she made one big dish of lasagna for the 6 of us, and right before we started the prayer, her husband (who's investigating the church right now) walked in, so a lasagna for 7. Anyway we ate without thinking about it, had a bunch of laughs and strengthened our friendship and stuff like that. Well we ate and we were all full and about ready to leave until the hermana started to tell us something. She told us that she felt like the woman in the bible who made bread for the prophet Elias and then was able to make more than enough bread for her and her son. We were confused and she explained that one of those dishes of lasagna hardly fed the 3 in her family, but it had just fed 7. That's one of the most amazing experiences I have experienced. Even her husband was astonished!

Oh yeah, something else. As a mission, we have taken the challenge to read the Book of Mormon in 3 months, we started September 18th and we have to finish the 13 of December. That's 3 chapters of the Book of Mormon every day. I would like to make that challenge to everyone. It only takes about 10 to 15 minutes every day and it will change your lives!

And then this week we also taught an English class. Did you know that the language from China is spelt Chinese? I thought it was spelt Chinease, and I was terribly mistaken. Our student had to go to the internet to find the real answer haha.

No pictures this week as the computer is having trouble!
