Week 74

2 Mondays ago, we called our old mission leader to see if he could come do visits with us my last day in the area!  He told us that he wasn't going to be able to but at the same time that we were talking on the phone, he passed by us in his car!  He stopped and explained why he wasn't going to be able to help us. He told us to get in his car so that we could go to his house and I could say goodbye to his family!  We got to his house and he and his wife hardly were talking!  They are recent converts and have the goal to get sealed in the temple but they have been having problems in their marriage.  The brother does not want to admit that they are not ready, he makes the excuse that he is waiting for his wife to prepare herself so that he doesn't feel bad.  But the only reason that she is not ready is because he blames her for the fact that they have not entered the temple!  She is struggling with depression and doesn't want to open up to her husband because when she trys to explain herself he just tells her ´´you just need to have more faith, stop being so weak´´ which makes her even more depressed.  Well we asked them if we could share a message and they said yes!  We talked about unity and how that was going to be the only way to reach their goals!  I asked the sister how she felt and she said that she was actually praying to have the opportuntiy to talk to her husband.  She knew that this was the moment!  We left their house and started a fast that her husband would be able to listen!

The next morning they told us that they talked and everything got better!  

Love you all.  I am doing great see you next week!
