My new Comp. is Anz.  Jared Lesa. 
This week was a little tough for my comp Anz. Lesa. The bike is killing him.  For one, the frame is too small, and well honestly...He didn't know how to ride a bike that well before the mission.  So I've been trying to teach him how to ride it.  Saturday we went over gear shifting.  He is doing well now, he can balance on the bike and go.  It's just going to take some time for him to get out of his shell and use the gears.  (It sounds like to me that he's just a bit afraid to go any faster than a slow jogging speed)  But with time he will grow.

I can't believe with all the patience the Lord has blessed me with since we have been together.  Not once have I not had a smile on my face with him.  He is doing very well, he is amazing with the language and does a good job teaching.

Well, I had a really cool experience this week.  During our nightly planning, we were planning on what we should do for Sunday evening.  I had a feeling that we needed to teach to Sister Volpe.  I thought, no... we need to do finding work.  Then it came strongly again...we need to teach them Sunday night.  So, I said. "Ok...Anziano, I feel we need to teach this family tomorrow.  I don't know what, I don't know why..but we need to."

Then  Sunday morning I spoke with Sister Volpe telling her about my experience the night before.  I came upon to her saying "Sister, I know this sounds crazy but, last night we were planning and I felt that I need to teach you tonight.  I don't know why or what we will talk about tonight but would you be free?"    She smiled and chuckled saying, "Well...if that is what the spirit is telling you to do, I'm free tonight at 7!" 

     So during our study it hit me really hard that she needs to hear things about Prayer.  So that's what we taught her. We had a very powerful message and we ended.  I again explained how I felt bad if this was a waste of time or if this was just my own thoughts...I said" I don't know why we are here with you, but apparently you are having or you will have a trial that you will need to turn to prayer. And the Lord wanted us to prep you!"  Then with tears in her eyes she said this,"Anziano, I don't know if you know this but my husband isn't living with me anymore.  Our family is going through a big trial right now.  Trust me, you were inspired!"  She thanked us and then she left.  It was amazing to know that the Lord could count on me and my companion to do his work.
