We ate with a member family yesterday and this mom gushed about how proud she was of her rapper son and how hes actually kind of famous. She started playing some of his videos and I was trying not to laugh. She said "I would show you more songs but theyre a little worldly and have bad words". Afterwards my companion informed me that she was surprised the songs they showed us werent the "worldly" ones based off the language.
My first transfer has officially ended and I am now in my second! I honestly feel like it went by SO fast even though my "mundane" life feels ages ago, but after adjusting to missionary life, it goes by REALLY fast!
This past week, I have felt like my spanish has improved a little and Ive had a lot of investigators and contacts tell me that my spanish is really good for only 2 months! Its all with Gods help! I even had a few people speak a few random words they knew in English to me, and I smile so much every time!
Okay, biggest miracle of the week! We have an investigator, Angel, who is 15 years old h}and had the baptisimal date of 23rd of November, which has passed. As the time drew closer, he started to say he wasnt sure, that he didnt know if he wanted to, and stopping completing the commitments. My companion and I were about to have a make or break lesson (decide during the lessons to drop or continue based off their intentions) but decided to push it one more lesson because we had invited him to an activity with us that night. We decided to teach instead about the power of prayer, and at the end of the lesson, we had a kneeling prayer, and we told him in that prayer to pray if the gosepl was true. He did, and he also prayed for a happiness he felt as though hes always lacked. At the end, we all sat in our chairs and we asked how he felt. Angel is very closed, and doesnt show much emotion, but this boy responded "weird, I feel something in my chest ive never felt before" and then he broke down crying, and cried for a little bit. I would lie if I said I didnt start crying as well. We explained that it was the spirit giving him his answer. That night was really special and the spirit was so strong, we had other miracles that night too, but those are a tiny bit more personal to his life.
I hope everyone is doing super well!!!
