A week of Service and Miracles

This week was very interesting. It wasn't filled with alot of success or anything to incredible but this week my comp and I decided to do service. We went to a less active member who doesn't really like us or anything in the church because of something that had happened a few years back. We showed up at her house with normal clothes and with our machetes to cut her lawn.She said she didn't want service but that she wanted to help another member out so we went and planted and fixed her garden, out door toilet haha and cut her lawn. That less active ended up being really grateful for what we had done and is now helping us out with references so we will see what happens. I got the idea from in the book of Mormon with Ammon and how he only wanted to do service and love the people. Then something else that was amazing was we have an inv named Mariana who when we first started teaching her she had no work. We told her that if she had faith and went to the g conference that she would receive work. Anyway she ended up going and she found work however it was on Sundays as well so this past 3 weeks we have been teaching to her and telling her if she gave up her work the Lord would bless her but she was scared because she had found good work. On Saturday night we went to her house and told her we had nothing else to teach her but that she needed to pray and ask god if she had to keep her work or to not do it anymore and go to church. Long story short is we went to her house early Sunday morning to get her and she came out already to go and that she had called her boss and said SHE QUIT!! It was the coolest thing ever haha she went to church and she loved it. This week we are trying to get her ready to be baptized for this Sunday so pray that everything will work out!! also I got the email about call home for mothers day but you guys have to call me again. It will be for the 9th may on Sunday and it has to be in between like 1pm to 5pm we are going to go to a members house again after church but I will get the number of them this week and then I will send it to you guys this coming Monday. We cant call the day before to verify but its all good. Please figure out the time change of Paraguay and the u.s when you will call me between the time of 1 to 5 Paraguay time. I will get the number and send it to you and how to call and everything. I love you guys thanks for everything ps I loved the pics haha Ill send a few more chauuuuu! Elder Burr
