WHATS UP EVERYONE!! ! ! ! ! !  

GREATEST WEEK EVER! This week was so busy. Each week feels like we are getting busier. It’s great BUT EXHAUASTING!  This was the BEST WEEK IN MY MISSION! We taught more lessons than I have ever taught so far and experienced so many miracles!

We were tracting and we found this one lady. She said she is the neighbor of one of our old investigators who moved away. But, he moved back because of health problems, so we went to see as well.  He was so excited to see us! He loves us so much. As we were sitting down my comp asked me what we are going to teach him. I said, “I don’t know”.  I was just thinking about reviewing, “The First Vision”.  However, right before we started to pray, I received a very clear and powerful prompting saying “OPEN YOUR EARS".  Our investigator’s name is Cleofe.  He is super old, loves the missionary discussions, and has eye problems so he can’t read. When I received the prompting "open your ears" I was thinking where is that scripture? In 3 Nephi 11, the Nephites had to open their ears to the spirit before they could understand.  So, we shared with him that scripture.  We told him we knew it was a challenge for him to read. However, if he would open his ears to spiritual truths, he would know the truth as it says the spirit will pierce you. Super powerful lesson. At the end of the lesson he told us... “Elders I really felt it... it was so POWERFUL”. It was amazing!

Later that night, we planned to teach one of my favorite investigators. Her name is Leonar. The nicest lady you will ever meet in the world! She lives by herself so we always have to take a member with us.  So the three of us go and find our investigator DRUNK AS A SUNK!  She was falling over in the street. Her neighbor carried her home and we returned the next day.  While we are there she says, “Elders.... I have been having some problems lately”.  We talked with her about trials and things and invited her to church.  On Sunday, we SEE HER WAITING THERE at the front door at church!  It gets better… After sacrament meeting she saw one of the members who lives close to her and they were long lost friends! She was so excited to see some of her closest friends there at church! The members asked, “What are doing here”? She said, “The elders invited me”.  They have become best of friends and now that member picks her up and takes her to church every week! It gets better… At the end of church she said, “I FEEL IT ELDERS”. We went to teach her later that night and we invited to her to be baptized and she SAID YES! ON NOVEMBER 29! So Super pumped!!! 

Another investigator, who has been investigating for years, finally came to church as well.  It was so Great week!!  We are getting so busy in the area. The area is progressing so much!

Love you so much, Elder Hernandez
