We started out with interviews with Presidente Ruiz they went really well and hopefully this next week we're going to do a lot better as a Zone. After interviews, we had to go to Reu to get my companion's temple recommend so that he could go into the temple. Presidente Ruiz took us there and we got to talk with him a lot. He's such a great man!
Then we headed back and got back to work. We had our Family of Gold commit to going to church and but they didn't end up going because Hermana Adiahaida ended up having to work. But she told us that she had a dream where she found out that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is the true church! I don't know what it is with the dreams that the people have here but they are insane! Everyone seems to have dreams of revelation. But she told me yesterday that she was going to quit her job so that she could start going to church all the time! It was crazy!
On Wednesday we went to the Temple! It was awesome just to be able to feel the spirit so strong there! Then we came home a little later in the day and took care of a bunch of Zone stuff.

Thursday I went on divisions with Elder Keck and we found some super cool people!
Then on Friday... Holy Moly, it was amazing! We had a Consejo de Lideres with all of the Zls, Hermana Lideres, Sister and Presidente Ruiz, and Elder Jose Alonzo of the 70! It was so amazing! We read scriptures and he just opened all of our eyes to be able to see, feel and hear what they were really saying. We learned that every scripture can be tied into the plan of salvation.
He told us a ton of stories about his mission and we were just all blown away and determined to start changing the culture of the mission for the better. We started a thing that I suggested in the Zone called 40 days of Miracles. We are going to fast for 40 days as a Zone by each companionship rotating on fasting that day. We're determined to see a miracle every day. We started on Saturday and I'm pretty sure that our area had the first miracle.
Here's the story
On Thursday we bought two of these kids and their mom that we have been teaching to the chapel to try and ask for permission so that they could be baptized. But she said no and that they needed to wait longer. So we just kinda left it at that because she seemed really firm about it. However, later a member started talking with her to invite her to the stake activity, and then they went home. On Saturday we found them on the street selling and they were like. ''When is the baptism going to be!'' We're ready we just need to know what time!'' We had an activity planned for the stake where all of the youth did a dance from a different country. And their mom thought that the member was inviting her to the baptism! At that point, she had accepted! We were just like uhhhh.... we'll get back to you... So we ran and told the bishop about our miracle and then ran to fill the font to be ready at 8. Then we went to let them know and then we went to the activity.

We came back and got the baptism all ready and the kids came running from their house they were so excited. And after the service, we talked with one of our investigators that was there and the mom of the kids and they both accepted to be baptized the next week!!!!! It was such a miracle!
