Flash Back!

Hola everyone! Don't have too much time today, so I am making this quick:
This week has been pretty fun, I had the opportunity to go on swaps with my Mom!! Hermana Alfaro!!!! You have no idea how weird it is to teach with your trainer 7 months after your training! (I'm freaking out! I almost have 10 months in my mission :O
Haha it was weird but fun teaching with her. Our teaching styles are a lot alike and we almost ended up repeating each other at times. Being able to teach her investigators with her was the best! It showed me how much I have progressed in my mission =) It is sad, this is her last transfer in her mission, so this will be the last time I will be able to teach with her =(
We had a mission activity this week, but with another ward. Our mission president sent all the missionaries that are on this side of Obregon, to go to this ward activity that was in my Church here!! It was awesome! I got to see some people from my first area!! I could actually talk to them!! WHOOW!!!
For the activity they gave each companionship a map and a list of less actives to visit and they put us with a companionship of members. Oh I am so glad we had members with us because it was not our area and maps of Mexico don't help for nada!
But we ended wandering around looking for houses for 2 hours! And we only found houses where no one was home or no one lived there. We had a little hope as we knocked on the last house of our list. But when we knocked a guy opened the door with a big smile,

 "Ah the missionaries! do you want to come in?"
"well, yeah" I said
"Pass in! But I'm going to warn you it is a little messy in here." He said opening the door for us, and we saw tools and all sorts of stuff all over his tables and floor. We had to hop over stuff to get to the couch.
A movie was blasting and the house smelt weird, my companion was asking me if this was a good idea we both had a little weird feeling, we had two members with us and the younger girl was looking really nervous.
I said a little prayer in my head asking God if wanted us to leave or stay. I got the impression to stay in the house. So we stayed, and I asked a few inspired questions and the guy ended up telling about how his dad had died a few years back and his mom had moved away, and he had started getting into some bad stuff but some friends helped him out of that situation and he was now attending the catholic church. but just a few weeks back his life started falling apart again.
We ended up teaching him about prayer and about the plan that God has for all of us, and that we are able to live with our families forever through this gospel. The spirit was so strong! He ended saying the prayer and it was so powerful! and I am so excited to say that he attended church the next day =) I felt like God had put us there in the right place at the right time =) I love this mission!!!!! =D
 Love Hermana Orison
