we had a FANTASTIC WEEK THIS WEEK! a big highlight was that Rosa was baptized!!! it was kinda a crazy week getting everything ready haha like we didn't have baptism clothes until the morning of becuase guayanilla and yauco didn't have any! haha ahhh but it all worked out and we were able to drive down to ponce and get some! but it really was awesome! we did it down in Guayanilla because that is where she has been attending, and really from the start she was just a huge milagro! Her boyfriend is a member and their first date he invited her to church and we have been teaching her for almost 2 meses and she has just lvoed everything and was so happy after the baptism! (and so were we!:) Presidente and Hermana smart were also able to come which was so fun! they are 2 of my ffavorite people in the world!
I also wanted to share a really sweet milagro we saw on tuesday during out zone blitz in guayanilla:)
(a zone blitz is when all of the missionaries in our zone/district work in one area after district meeting for about 2 hours to find more people! and in guayanilla Hurricane Maria took their area book.. so they don't have any formers which makes things a little more difficult!)
anyways so also quick back story we had zone conference last week and some of the sister training leaders talked about praying with faith, and this was the PERFECT chance to try and practice that, so we got to our area and started with a prayer to know where to go, and tried to follow every prompting/thought that either of us recieved! we got to work and at the beginning we found 2 cool people! and were like woot this is great! then.. we kinda struggled for almost a full hour, when we didn't know where to go we prayed and felt led to certain houses but no one answered:/ it got down to where we had 30 minutes left and so we prayed again to know where to go. we both felt like we should go straight and to the left and hermana Jenson also felt like we should try to go to this blue house and then back to this pink house we felt really good about. so we went and talked to some people but again not much happened with the first two houses! then we went down the street and to the left and called at a house, at that same moment the garage door opened to the house next to it and it was this guy named juan! he was sooo cool! and HE WAS TAUGHT BEFORE THE HURRICANE and even came to church once, but since the hurricane he hasn't seen missionaries! he even showed us a picture of him and the missionaries and it was soo amazing, and we knew that everywhere we were led had a big part to finding him in the time we did. I absolutely strenghtened my testimony on of the power of prayer , and am so grateful for the experience we were able to have in finding him!
and quick update about him the elders found him that night and said he was so cool and bought them dinner! and we also wrote down this pink house that we both just felt SO good about even though nobody answered.. we felt kinda silly writing it down as a reference but we really felt like it was special for some reason! so the elders also found them and it was a small family who they said were super cool! anyways i know that was like such a long story but just remember that god is very aware of us and his children!!
also saw some fun new things this week like horses in the back of a truck on the freeway and a SPEED LIMIT SIGN!
I love lvoe love being here as a missionary in puerto rico<3
hope you all have an amazing week, love you all TONS!!!
con muchisimas amor, Hermana Zimmerman:)
