Hola!!!!! Man I cant believe another week has gone by! Guess what!?!?! Today is my 2 month aniversario of being on a mission!!!! Crazy right! It is going by so fast! Yesterday we had a really cool experience! Our zone had a goal of having 40 contacts this week and if we met that goal then we got to go on a "field trip" today. Yesterday we needed to have 11 contactos in order to meet that goal.... and we had about 15 minutes to do it. We were determined! We just started going up to litterally everyone introducing ourselves and inviting them to church next week. We stopped outside an Oxxo (a 7-11 type place) and when we looked in we noticed that there were no people in there except for the 2 ladys working. So we went in and did the samething we had been doing a million other times except this time was different. As we were talking one of the ladies would not look at us, and then she started to cry. I was kind of confused because we did not do anything different. Hemana asked her if we could help her with anything. The lady explaned that her 4 grown children were members in the church, and that her husband was a mamber as well but inactive. Then she told us that one of her sons recently died. But one of the last things he said to her was that the church was true. We were able to explane to her a little about the spirit world and how because her son was a member he is in spirit paradise. We explaned that God loves us and that he wants us to be happy to, and that families are important to him as well and that our families can be together forever. It was one of those moments where you know that God has his hand in this work. I am understanding so much more spanish!!!!!!! more often than not I understand what is going on in a conversation.... it is responding that is difficult. But that is coming too. Sorry this is so short, but we have people to see and a gospel to preach! :) I love you all!!!!!! LOve, Hermana Ashcraft
