Hey gang! This week on #whatsmysnack the boys hit up this hole-in-the-wall Mexican place on the west side, called Machettes. This place is big time, literally... They make 20 inch quesadillas!! They were freaking good too! 20 inches of corn tortilla, cheese, carne asada, pastor, cilantro, onion, and their special salsa! Muy bueno!
Another week closer to December 22nd! Our 8 people on date are still looking really solid! They have all pretty much been taught everything and are living all the commandments, they just need to get dunked! The 22nd is going to be a great day!! We stay real busy with all of these people we have to teach down here in the south side, it's fantastic!
We had a pretty cool experience on Sunday night, we got a referral for this lady named Yolanda. We confirmed with her and everything and we show up to her apartment at 7:30. We call her a couple times and text her and we get no response. A Lady comes out of the apartment building and tells us that Yolanda is home, but then the lady dipped out of there right quick before we could ask her to get her for us. So we decided to wait just a few more minutes. 2 minutes later Yolanda calls us asking if we are still there and we say yes. She let's us in and we had an amazing lesson with her. The spirit was super strong and she has definitely been prepared. She told us she had tons of questions about "mormons" but that our message pretty much answered them all. Before we could even mention a return appointment she asked, "so when are y'all coming back?". She told us right before we left that she had made up in her mind that us "mormons" were a cult and were of the devil and that's why she didn't answer our calls or respond to our text. But she said as she sat on her couch something inside her told her that if she didn't let us in, she would be missing out on great blessings from God! What an amazing testimony she shared with us, the knowledge of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the greatest blessings that we can receive! How well do we cherish that blessing? I'm so thankful for the opportunities I have out here to meet people like Yolanda!
The church is true!
