We were given a referral to give a Book of Mormon to a woman who lives in a little mountain village. My comp and I rode a combi to the village. The woman had told us to get off at the Salad Shop, then to phone her and she would have her son come down to show us the way to her home.
The weather here has been very hot and dry, but during our ride, it began to rain extremely hard! When we exited the combi, we were quickly soaked! Our cell phone didn’t have reception so we couldn’t connect with the woman and her son.
In a COLD, heavy rain, we were quickly soaked to the skin! We knocked on stores and little huts, but no one would let us in. We even lied and said my comp had to use the bathroom….still no one would let us in out of the rain!
After 20 minutes of being rained on, we didn’t know what else to do. We knelt in a puddle and prayed to God that he would stop the rain so we could do His work. Within 5 minutes, the storm stopped. 10 minutes later, the sun came out, and we were able to find the woman’s house. It was truly a miracle.

Feeling like a REAL Mexican!
