Week 72

This week on Elder Silva's mission it was really expecting! First off I thought that I was going to be transferred because I have been in Parilla for six months and a half and that's a super long time!!!!! I was not only transferred but I'm also training a new missionary Elder Roque or AKA Mi Hijo/My Son lol. He is one of the funniest people that I have met, he is from Ecuador and he is just a really happy person. We get along really well because I have been to Ecuador a bunch and we just relate a lot!
This entire week we have been working really hard to find new people to teach and contacting a bunch of people. We are currently teaching four families who are really good and we are praying that these families keep on progressing. The Guzman family was a really great experience. One day we contacted the parents in the street and we passed by their little store that they have and once we got there they looked at us like uhhh and it was kinda awkward. But we broke the ice and we asked if it was fine if we started with a prayer and she said ¨yes.¨ She had 2 daughters there, Betsy and Hanna and we asked them if they wanted to join and they said ¨no.¨ :(     So we started teaching them and the lesson got really spiritual and we started to involve the daughters and they started to participate and by the end of the lesson the whole family was together in prayer and it was really special for the mom to see her daughters pray. I know that through the gospel families are able to have that unity and peace in their family and I'm very grateful for it!
