Hola!

This week was a lot of finding. After Sheila got baptized our Areabook was empty and people were dropping us left and right. So we started the week with a clean slate and we're ready to go Find some new people to teach.Both sister Jagielski and I fasted that we could have the faith to find and we would be able to have someone to teach, and we ended up finding 3 new investigators.
We saw a lot of miracles this week but I wanted to write about one in particular. So we were tracting around this apartment complex and we see a man getting out of his car so we go over to talk with him and he says. "Hablo EspaƱol?" And we say no but try our best to communicate with him putting our high school Spanish classes to the test. We were able to communicate with him enough to know when we could come back and teach him a lesson and we left him a pamphlet in spanish.
So on Wednesday we bring our friend Yesina (who is so cute and is probably one of the bravest people I know. She is my age and she moved up here from texas with one of her friends who is going to college here and didn't know any one doesn't have a car and she just shows up to church one day all by her self. She said how she used to be less-active but now she is committed to come to church every week. I love her.) And yesina translates for us!
It was such a powerful lesson! We had to teach really simply so she could catch what we were saying and translate it. But we shared the book of Mormon with Juan and we ask "how did you feel as you were reading?" He smiled and said "bien!" The spirit was so strong in this lesson! After the lesson we talked with yesina and she is so excited and now she wants to go on a mission!
She was talking about how this experience was a transformative experience for her and you can tell! Last week at church she was having a hard time and was pretty home sick and such but this week she was talking to everyone and she just had this light about her!
I am so excited to meet with Juan again! The church is so true and it truly does transform us! Missionary work is the best.
So now we just have to figure out how to speak Spanish so we can communicate with our investigator.
