Week of Weird weather

Another week of working hard. We are trying to find new people who want to learn more, so most of our time is spent looking up people and talking to people. This past week was still pretty hot, but it's started to get cooler. Everyone tells us it gets better around the middle of October. But whenever we're in the house, we have the air conditioner any where from 22-27. I never would have thought I would find 27 to be relieving!

The weather this week otherwise has been pretty interesting. We had a pretty good storm at the end of the week, with hail and all! I never would have thought that we would have hail here. But After we finish writing, we're basically on lock down. We have to go back to our houses early with Hurricane Odile on its way. It doesn't look like it will hit us too hard, but they are taking precautions anyways.

We have a little black cat with white paws and it's favorite place to spend time is on top of our air conditioner. It'll jump down randomly in the middle of the night. Even though Hermana R. warned me about it, it still gave me a pretty good fright the first few times. Especially when it happens in the middle of the night. The cat should be a lot fatter for all of the noise that it manages it make... We're working on a name for him.

We've been working a lot with two people this week. One is a family with 4 kids. The mom is one of the sweetest people I've ever met. Her son A. is probably one of my favorite people in this area. He has Downs, and is one of the gentlest souls I've ever met. He is very smart and always excited when we come. He is also always very ready whenever we want to pray. Her daughter L. has been practicing praying with her mum, but is always too nervous to do it in front of us. One of the most precious things in the world is hearing a little one pray to their Heavenly Father. We have a lot of kids in this ward, and they are always ready to help bless the food or pray in a lesson.

I know that Heavenly Father is always listening. We are all so very important to him. Praying to God is really like talking to your parents. It's so important that we aren't just repeating the same thing all the time. I couldn't imagine if my future kids said the exact same words to me all the time! But I'm grateful that Christ gave us an example of the model of prayer. I know that it's only through prayer that we can come to know spiritual truths. And that as we pray, we really can feel of our Heavenly Father's love for us. And the evidence is everywhere that He is listening as we find answers to questions and help in times of need.

Have a great week :)
