I'm a believer!

Well I have realized that as my mission has gone on my emails have gotten shorter and a lot more boring. And I'm really sorry and I'm going to try and do better today. But honestly the only one who still reading these emails is probably mom. So mom, this is how my week went....

Monday was crazy. The member that was going to help us teach Jose and his family set up an appointment for us but then wasn't able to join us... so we had no other option but to go over there by our self and try our best to communicate with what Spanish we do know. It surprisingly went pretty well! We just prayed and read scriptures and did our best. THE GIFT OF TOUNGES IS REAL. it was crazy. And VICTOR who sisters in the past said seemed a little anti sat in for the lesson and was super nice and said he wanted to read the book of Mormon some more. It was great. 

Also on Monday while we were waiting for our food for lunch at 5 STAR WINGS a man named Quincey came up and started talking with us he talked to us for a long time. He wanted us to say a prayer with him so we did -of course- and one the employees when we were done said "amen! Don't think I wasn't in on that prayer too!" I love Kankakee. And we were able to teach Quincey later in the week and show him around the church building! Honestly the people you meet at 5 star wings are even better than the wings.

We also taught Talha and Tina again. We have good lessons with them but they still didn't come to church. yesterday we had a long phone call with Tal. He expressed some of his concerns. We are going to keep teaching him FOR SURE but they are no longer on date. 

We also ran into a former and had a good conversation with him! We were originally talking to a man named Chris but he ran inside and never came back out half way through the conversation......................so as we are waiting for Chris and about leave his neighbor comes out. So we ask him what his name is and he says "im gangsta willie!" Haha but as we get talking some more i realize i had just seen him in our area book and he was SUPER SOLID and came to church a lot and was on date and everything. We ended up talking to him for a long time and were able to identify some of his concerns and set up another appointment to come back!

Missionary work is AWESOME. and the more you are out the better it gets. Sheila had a SUPER GOOD WEEK THIS WEEK. We finally got her in to do family history work and she LOVED IT. She ended up staying twice as long as she said she was going to. And she came to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Sheila so much! She found so many names to enter into family search. The spirit of Elijah was IN THAT ROOM. it was so strong. I am excited for her to go to the temple and do the work for these names. 

So those were some of the miracles we saw this week. There were a lot more but that would take all day and I know you have a pretty busy schedule mom. 

1. Tal! And the tiny bible he bought on Amazon.

2. LISA. I LOVE HER SO MUCH. We tried our best to get a decent picture... this was as good as it was going to get.
