Whelp....

We got lost this week taking the wrong bus and quickly getting off when we realized it. But, too late. We ended up in the middle of a dark, empty street with little inkling as to how to get back to the main street.

As we started turning back, more than anything thinking of how dangerous this place potentially was, we saw a bus coming! WOOOOO WE'RE SAVVVVVEDDD!!!! Right? Nope. It was no longer taking any more passengers....Hm okay, we shall keep walking then.

As soon as we turned to head out for an opening in the street to find a main bus stop, a car honked behind us. It stopped. It was a less active member and his girlfriend we have been teaching for some time now!!!!

We got in the car and laughed as we told them the craziness of how we ended up there. They, as well as us were left a little incredulous as we took in the Lord's tender mercies. Apparently, Brother and Sister J haven't gone to the movies in a couple years. But tonight, they decided to go. Taking the route home returning from the theater, they started taking the main street but decided there was too much traffic. Brother J made a U-turn and felt he should take this road home instead.

And there they found us! Freshly clamboured off the wrong bus, in the middle of an empty road at 8:30 at night.

We felt a little ridiculous at first explaining that we were lost (we actually ended up in the area of another missionary zone, belive it or not). But I knew from the start that the Lord made us an instrument in His hands that night in order to allow Brother and Sister J to gain a testimony of following the gentle impressions of the Spirit.

Every detail went into this experience:

1) We never take that bus, but we took our chances this time believing it would take us where we needed to go;

2) We weren't going to get off the bus, but Hna C had the impression we should ask someone in the bus where it was destined to;

3) Brother and Sister J followed a spiritual impression.

Wow. The Lord is amazing. :)

Love you all! Have a great week!

I don't feel the reality of having 2 weeks left yet...Maybe I'll believe it when you send proof that you are actually with Ashley :p :)

And, Thanks Matthew :)

Love,

"RR is such a little stud. He is SO spiritually prepared and very bright. His mother, though less active for a couple years, has taught him well. They came to a baptism of another 9 y/o Saturday. RR's mom invited her non-member boyfriend. At first, he resisted entering the church. He was just going to drop them off and leave. When we invited him in and explained persuasively that one doesn't have to be a member to enter and that there were going to be SEVERAL others in attendance who weren't members either, he decided to step in. Hna C and I gave a little message about the Restoration, with a focus on the Book of Mormon, and the mom said the closing prayer. Her boyfriend ended up staying the entire baptismal service and was a littttle more receptive to maybe coming to church again one day...!

Maybe this week we didn't reach as many goals as we should have, but I am confident in the blessing of always FINDING when working closely with crecimiento real" .
