OK so this week was a killer, José Angel disappeared on sunday and we have no idea where he went, so he still hasn´t been confirmed. Also, Daniela, who is the first person that actually acted interested when i knocked on her door, her family decided that she had to be catholic or she couldn´t be part of their family. Its very sad. they locked her out saturday because she was talking to us. But then sunday they let us in for about 5 minutes, only cause we were helping however. We are going to be moving our house soon. Right now we live on a fairly large street but we will be moving to a way nicer house :) I´ll get to enjoy it, however my companion will not. We had 14 lessons with a member present. which is so not normal, the goal for right now is 8. But saturday was our day of Miracles. We didn´t make it to 1/2 the appointments we had set but we did however help Daniela out alot. We hadn´t talked to her in forever because of her family trouble and she is also working through a divorce. but we knocked on her door and she came to the door very animatedly because she had prayed the night before to have us knock on her door and that we wpould be able to ake her to the chapel to show it to her. We had both felt inspired to knock on her door even though it wasn´t the plan. the problem was that they changed to keys to the chapel and they still haven´t gotten us a copy, and we were very far away with not alot of tiime. So we made a few calls and we found a member with a car easy, we had to get ahold of some other elders with the keys however and they had to make a sacrifice in order to open the chapel for us. it was way cool how even though there was no possible way we were going to be able to do that, and it wasn´t anywhere close to being planned, everything came together just right in order for us to have that lesson with her. When she got back she had been locked out and her family said if she wanted to talk with us then she couldn´t live there anymore and that she wasn´t loved anymore. yeah it was bad. she came into the house, where we were having a lesson, crying, and had to leave again to see what her husband wanted, but when she came back she was determined and dead set in taking the path that we were teaching her. it was way cool. they didn´t let her go to church the next day but thats just to try our faith as missionaries and since the last time we taught her which was the 30th of march she had read half of the book of mormon. she didn´t understand most of it but the fact that she is reading is amazing.
We went to the center of monterrey this morning to find some special shoes for my companion. it was a waste of time but at least we got to see the infamous statues. i was excited to take a picture of the statue of life cause everyone always talks about it but i realized when saw it that its only because its a giant fountain with lots of naked statues, greek style. which its confusing why they have posiedon in the middle of monterrey but thats ok...
Thats about it but talk to you all next week!
Love,
Elder Allen
P.S. Mom, did you all ever find that missing disks from the movies levi lent to me while i was there? if not i still have to replace those.
