WEEK 55: Demetrio Acosta
October 22, 2019
Yesterday we arrived to my new area, Demetrio Acosta, in La Zona Lambayeque. My new companion is Elder Costa, who is from Brazil, and we are the new Zone Leaders here. We're here in our area and it's so sick, I'm actually so excited. We're gonna kill it here. I already love this place, but we aren't gonna have a lot of time as Elder Acosta only has this change before he is done with his mission.

These last few days have been so amazing. We just find escogidos (chosen) all day long. I'm seeing how the Spirit really works with us to change the hearts of the people. A few days ago we were knocking on doors, and we saw this lady walking with a little girl, and we felt like we really needed to talk with her. So we ran like a couple of blocks to catch up with her, and we did and were able to talk with her. She was a little defensive about her church and she was living with her boyfriend, so we were a little discouraged. But today we visited her, and we starting asking her questions and getting to know her, and although she was still really defensive about her beliefs and trying to fight with us a little, we were able to share some of the gospel teachings with her. All of a sudden she completely changed from not wanting to talk to us, to opening up about how much she needed guidance in her life. Although she goes to another church, she has been praying for guidance from God, and we just passed by to talk with her. It was amazing to see the difference the Spirit makes. When we talk and teach with the Holy Ghost, people's hearts change.
Also, we had a really powerful second lesson with a family of sisters that are all so cool. We were talking about our premortal life, and this hermana started crying as she learned she lived with God before. That is the first time I have seen that on my mission, and the Spirit was strong there. I have a strong love for this family already.
Elder Costa is a really good teacher, and we actually make a really sweet team. I'm starting to love these people and this area like crazy. I love calling the Elders and Hermanas in our zone and giving them ánimos (encouragement), it really is the best. I love all of this so much, we gonna burn this place up this next change.
