...Daily Spiritual experiences

Hey fam,

Well I`m goin to be breve. I dont have much time to write with the transfers and a bunch of things goin on.
Elder Francis is off and Elder Garcia is here. He is from Coatla Morelos, Mexico. He is way chill and I am excited. He only has 3 months left in the mission, but he is excited to get things done. This is the FIRST time in my whole mission that I have stayed in my area to see my companion get changed and me stay. Crazy huh? I still keep 2 streaks going though.....1. I have had Mexican/American/MExican/American comps through out my whole mission and 2. I have never been in an area more than 3 months. We will see if those streaks continue in 6 weeks. Oh and Elder Christiansen will still be here with me for 3 more weeks and then he`s leaving in the middle of the change. It should be a fun change though with lots of activities and Christmas and all that. Maybe I`ll relearn how to speak spanish before I talk to you all on the phone haha.

Well this was a pretty crazy week. Usually the last week of the month is always the craziest because it`s when we have to help out a bunch of missionaries complete with their goals.
We hardly had time to work in out own area, but it was worth it to help out the other Elders.

The mission is always filled DAILY with spiritual experiences. A lot of cool things happened which brings me to Elder Heaps`highlights of the week.....

The first thing is something that actually happened last week. We got a less active family of like 14 to go to church. The family Cornejo, They haven`t gone because they work to help with the finantial problem they are having. We promised them last week that if they made the effort to go to church that Heavenly Father would provide them with the things that they stand in need of. They went to church and then we visited them this last Tuesday. When we got there they all greeted us with smiles because they had already seen a lot of blessings. The grandma found 400 pesos (like 30 bucks) in her dresser which paid for their food for the week. The light came on (They didnt have light in their house for like a week and a half) and they had a family member that was sick get healthy. The grandma and one of the other hermanas were crying as they were tellin us all the blessings that they had received. When we make sacrifices and do Gods`will He always does his part. When we are obedient, Heavenly Father is obligated to bless us. I love the gospel.

I also had a neat experience with a lady named Gaby in a baptismal interview. She wanted to get baptized, but she was nervous that her husband would get mad. She is an investigator from Elder Ashcraft and I went to her house afterwards to talk to the husband. We talked about the importance of baptism and I think the husband really felt the spirit. I felt the sensation to invite him to get baptized as well so I did the invitation. He said that he would get baptized as well. In a couple weeks he will get baptized and I hope that they will be a great eternal family.

Saturday night Elder Francis got really sick. (actually we both were, but him more) My stomach just hurt, but I was able to fall asleep. I think it was from the chicken that an hermana gave us to eat that day. I think it was a little undercooked, but we ate it.
Francis was up all night i think. He was throwin up and his throat was hurtin him a bunch to the point that he was having trouble breathing. Francis woke me up at like 3 a.m. and asked me for a blessing. I got up and gave him a blessing and I made him some Gatorade from those little packets that you sent me. I just assumed that after throwin up for a while he probably didnt have much energy. He was able to fall asleep until the next morning so I think it helped a lot.

On Sunday Elder Francis stayed in bed with the hermano that we live with and I went with a joven. I had to go to do interviews in 2 different other churches and I took the sacrament in another ward. It was a crazy day. I went with Elder Fillerup to work also and we just let Elder Francis sleep. CRAZY day.

Well thats it. I gotta run! I love you all! Happy late Thanksgiving!
Que tengan buena semana!

Con amor,
Elder G Heap
