Internet took 40 minutes to load this morning after searching for an internet place for about an hour. Don`t even know how much we just spend on moto taxis flying around the whole city.... Ni modo. BUT we still get to write a little bit.
AWESOME WEEK! De verdad. Almost EVERYONE CAME TO CHURCH!!!!!!! Seriously they were all there and brought other family members and friends that we haven`t even talked to yet! One of the best weeks for church attendance in my whole mission. Goin strong todavìa. We were really happy about that and everything just seemed to work out yesterday. Power of fasting. And on Friday we went to Porvenir and 5 de agosto. Once we got to 5 de agosto, we went looking for the awesome faithful member guy that lives right off the beaten path. Instead of finding him (he had gone to Cobija), we found his sister-in-law (who`s a member!) and her ¨husband¨ and his dad. So ya, had a really good lesson with them (they were all crying after the closing prayer) then found this one investigator couple who we`ve been looking for for a long time now. Had a good short lesson before we had to get into their one room tiny tiny little house when another one of those crazy Amazon rainforest downpours started. And it rained, and rained some more, and some more. Well we had to walk back an hour to Porvenir in the jungle, so we just decided to head out anyway because there was no other choice. You should`ve seen their faces of this couple as we walked straight out into the pouring rain (after saying a prayer for protection with them of course). HA! They thought we were insane! So we left and walked to the main road that leads back to Porvenir and looked down the road into the rain, felt like we shouldn`t go that way, waited for a second to really pay attention to what we were feeling, and went to a nearby member`s house. Waited there with him for 45 minutes until the rain stopped, walked 10 minutes to this other investigator`s house (who told us he`s getting baptized in December after getting married on Christmas day in the chapel in Aeropuerto!!!!) and convinced him and his wife to take us to Porvenir. CRAZY DAY. Made it back in time for a wedding at 7 in Cobija.
Everything works out just perfect when we`re obedient.
That`s all. Love you all.
