Hola a todos!
These week has been one of the best weeks in a while. But I'll get to that in a second.
First off though, the temperatures here are unbelievable! I know it's going to be hard to believe for my little tiny city up in Washington but we have had temperatures higher than back home in Arizona for several days now! Yesterday was 112 degrees and today it's going to hit 115! So just please pray that none of us get heat stroke or sick or anything. I'm so grateful we have a car but even walking around apartment complexes trying to contact referrals I feel like I'm baking alive. I've been kinda grumpy about it for the past few days because I thought I would escape the AZ heat but it came to me anyways. Hna Hollingsworth has been laughing at meand how upset I've been at the weather, but we're still alive. 
So to the milagro of the week. We have a goal as companionships in this zone to find 7 people a week, one person per day. Well we got to Friday and we hadn't found a single new person to teach which was a bummer because all of our friends have been so lame lately and have been dropping us! So our teaching pool has been shrinking and we desperately wanted to find new people. It wasn't for lack of effort because we also had several referrals that were sent to us on Wednesday which was a miracle in and of itself because our tiny area very rarely gets referrals. So we were going by and trying to find them and no one was home.
Then on Saturday, the spirit directed my driving and we found one new person! But we were still very far from our goal. Yesterday though we found 6 new people to teach!!!!!!! A family of 4 and 2 roommates at a different apartment. And oh my goodness was it a miracle. We still accomplished our goal and found new people that were willing to listen to us. It was amazing. 
I've never felt or seen more clearly this week blessings that come from hard work and patience. Every time I would pray about what we needed to fix to find more people and teach the elect, the Lord's simple answer was, "Just wait." And He still fulfilled his promise to us and we're were blessed with a huge miracle yesterday. 
Espero que tenga una buena semana!
