Puerto Rico San Juan Mission: The week when the Lizard situation escalted!

Hola todos!

okay quick funny story, this week we went to visit a members house, but the only instuctions we got went like this:

go up a hill, down a hill... up a hill down a hill... not that house but the next, by kilometer 12! hahaaha but no worries we found it and had the best night with a sweet couple and their grandaughter who recenltly moved back to puerto rico because of maria! woot!!

this week we finally accepted the lizard situation.... we kinda just accepted their presence becuase they are everywhere! buttttt this week it escalted becusae lizards now turned into a baby iguana. in our house. not that much bigger than a lizard but 10x more terrifying!! haha so basically the night we saw it we barricaded ourselves in our room:0 and the next day found it in the bathroom, and now we don't know where it is... yikesssss

haha but we truly did have an amazing week this week and saw a MONTON de milagros:)

first with a sweet sweet sweet 82 yr old lady we found last week, we were with 2 members who we LOVE and our inv we wanted to visit with them wasnt there:( so we thought of luz! we went to her house and she was there! she is someone who at first seems like super intimitaded. adn in the beginning of the lesson it wasn't exactly going where we felt it should... she listenedd to missionaries 10 yrs ago, when where husband was really sick, she talked about how much the missionaries helped her and how she felt like our church was the closest you could get to christ. she has been asking what church is true her whole life and recently decided to almost give up on her search but at the lesson we saw soooo much progress! she opened up after awhile and a member was able to answer some questions she had had! after the lesson she just looked at us and said i feel something! i dont know what it is but i have never felt it before! she gave us all the longest sweestes hug.

overall it was one of those lessons where you KNOW they are special becuase even when the lesson at first feels like it is just falling off a cliff you feel un UNDENIABLE love from them, it is literally my favorite, and it was just one of the best nights of my mission even though its kinda hard to describee... haha:)

another miracle we saw was that our investigator christian came to church! woooooot! it was such a crazy sunday for him to come haha we lost light in yauco sunday morning and so curch started pretty light but power came back right on time!!

anyways overall we just had an amazing amazing week, truly know that god lives and his miracles all all around us!

con mucho amor, Hermana Zimmerman:)
