Happy (late) Groundhog's day! Since I last wrote on Wednesday, not too much has happened. We've stayed here in the calm, isolated city of Salamanca the whole time. It did get really windy this last weekend. Somehow whichever way you turned, it felt like the wind was pushing against the way you were walking. But, I prefer it to rain.
Besides that, we've been devoting our time to good old missionary work. We've been seeing some good success here recently. We're still working with Felipe, the man who's engaged to a member, and he's very interested and seems very humbled and repentant. His fiance, Denise, from Brazil, is super nice and whenever we go and teach him, she makes us some sort of meal. We also saw a cool miracle this week. Last Thursday, we were talking to people on the street, and I noticed this guy that I had noticed walking around earlier in the day, so I decided to try and talk to him. His name is Armando, and he's Peruvian. He told his he had actually been looking for our church, but couldn't find it because we meet on the second floor of a building in the old part of town. We gave him our phone number and the address, and he told us that he wouldn't be able to come yesterday, but the following Sunday. At the beginning of church, we got a phone call from him, and he said he was downstairs with his wife, Maria Elena, and he wanted us to come down to show him how to get up. So we went down and they were standing there waiting, and they came up and stayed all three hours of church. They loved it, and got along really well with all the members. It was awesome. They told us they wanted to come back the next week.
One of the Elders in our district left today, because of transfers, and now Elder Santiago, who was in the MTC at the same time as me, will be here.
I hope you all have a great week! Talk to you next Monday!
Love,
Elder Dobbs
