Week 73- Hola Familia

Dear Family,
The area is doing well. Elder Ortiz and I found some great new
investigators, actually cool story. So months ago I meet a less active
sister in the ward and her daughters. We tried to work with them but
they weren´t really interested so we left them for a time. This week,
I don´t remember which day, Elder Ortiz told me he felt like we should
go visit this family, entonces fuimos (we went.) I believe it was Tuesday when
we went. We arrived to find the husband of the daughter home, whom
I had never met. We share with them and then made a return appointment.
Later this week, we were walking down the street and saw them outside a
house. We went over and met the mother of the Felix, the husband. She
was super nice and we made a cita (appointment) with her. I also found out that her
husband is a man named Jesus, a great guy I contacted months ago but
never found his house! Then after all this we go visit some old
investigators named Jose and Juana. We arrive at their door and are
talking a bit with Jose. Then Elder Ortiz asked Jose if he was related
to Jesus. Jose responded that Jesus is his brother! It was awesome how
all of a sudden all these people were connected, it was like a really
cool domino effect and in the end, I´m like wow. I feel like we made
these connections for a reason, I don´t know if all these people will
accept the gospel now, but I feel that God is preparing this family,
for this reason, he allowed us to find them.

 This week I had a great intercambio with Elder Williams. We read in
Ether twelve twenty-seven about how God gives men weaknesses that we
may be humble. It also says that HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT to all men
who come unto him and says if we do so, these weaknesses can become
strengths. Elder Williams and I talked about how it´s a blessing to
recognize our weaknesses. It´s an opportunity we have to improve.
Personally, I think sometimes it would be nice to forget my weaknesses,
forget my many imperfections, but it doesn´t really work like that. We
are here to be tested after all, and these challenges each of us face
are chances we have to trust in our loving Father in heaven and
experience his power in our lives. I am thankful for our loving
Heavenly Father, I am so grateful for his tender mercies he gives to
me and to each of us.

I love you guys, I am thankful for you all. I pray you're all doing great.

Love, crazy Elder Call

Picture. We went to a waterfall as a Zone today, there's me being a
goofball, didn´t fall in, in case any were concerned.
