Hola familia, This week was really good and we worked hard once again. We were able to find some great people to teach. Gary and Maritza finally did their paper work and they are planning on getting married and baptized this Saturday the 17th of November. Seems like they chose a really good day to get married. They are going through some pretty hard times lately because they just got kicked out of their house. It was because of a fight that they had with his mother-in-law. The step dad is also becoming a really big problem. But the Lord put us in their path right after their fight happened. They were driving to go look for a house and we just happened to be walking down the road where they were driving. When we got into their car, they told us that they wouldn't be able to take us to their house to teach them. They then drove and parked under a big tree by some stairs. They were very sad and Maritza was crying. We then got out with them and sat on the stairs to teach them about how our Heavenly Father qualifies us for His special blessings and many times to gain those blessings we go through some really hard times. We told them that everything that happens to them will bless them if they will only come unto Christ. We shared with them a couple of scriptures and they seemed to feel a lot better. I'm not really surprised anymore how we always seem to be in the right place at the right time. This is truly the Lords work. He knows what's best for every one of us and what we need to do to be happy is to keep His commandments. There aren't coincidences for the Lord. Everything goes according to His will and in His time. To me it seems like a miracle how everything works out perfectly. That is why it is really important to be in the right place at the right time, and to be ready and worthy to do the Lords work. Because without Him, we cannot succeed. I am sure this is going be a great week and that we will have many more miracles to experience. I Can't wait to let you know how it all goes . Love, Elder Christoffersen
