This week was super good! Me and Elder Barnes have been able to see the Lord's hand in the work so much this week! Yesterday we had a cool experience of not really knowing where to go because our lesson fell through and back up did also! We decided to pray and that led us to 4th street in our area! We went by a potential that we talked with a couple days back that lived on that street... he didn't answer but then we got a text message on my phone and it was a referral from the other elders.  The referral was on 4th street like 1 min away from where we were! It showed us that we needed to be exactly at this spot and that the promptings that we were feeling were no joke... Even crazier when we were going down to the referral this lady that is a inactive member stopped us and asked us to give her a blessing... Even crazier the AP's were walking down that same street and gave her friend a blessing too! But that's not it, once we finally got to the referral's apartment it was the apartment of someone we were already teaching, Darwin, and the referals was Darwin's brother and sister in law and they are all so interested! It was sweet! Then after that contact since we were on 4th street already we decided to go to another potential that we have been trying for the past couple of days and we got let right in and taught her and her mom the restoration! It was amazing! After all that me and Elder Barnes looked at each other and said, " We need to pray more about where we need to go!" It just showed me that if we really ask Heavenly Father where we need to go, he will tell us every time.  But we have to be humble enough to follow those promptings! It was a super strong testimony builder! We are just instruments in this work, but we need to work hard and be humble to be able to be fine tuned instruments! There is a difference! 

Speaking of 4th street something crazy that happened on Wed was a guy busted out of window! Haha so 4th street has all these ghetto apartments that I love to go tract and a less active member lives there. We were going by and as we were leaving his house, we see this homie bust out of the window head first and scorpions right on the ground! Haha he gets up and runs to his car and then yells to us, "call the cops she's crazy!" Then this girl walks out of the apartment and tells us, "dont call the cops, nothing happened." Lol and then he skrrts out! Funny thing is that the AP's were waiting for us to give us our bikes(finally...) but they were right in front of the window that the guy busted out! lol We talked with the lady for a little and then we all left confused out of our minds of what we just saw. Then 30 min later me and Elder Barnes are passing the apartment complex again and see her outside still. So we make sure she's OK and then bang! 5 cop cars come pulling in. We had to tell the cops what we saw and everything! lol I guess she threatened the guy with a shard of glass but her story she told us was totally different! It was a crazy night , but kind of a normal in this area! I swear if I don't hear a cop siren every 30 min it's weird! Anyways we shared a scripture with her and actually gave her a Book of Mormon too! So hopefully that's helping her right now! 

This week was awesome with Easter and being able to see everyone get excited about Jesus Christ! We actually got to sing in Sacrament yesterday and it was awesome! Overall such a good week! We were able to find so many people that are prepared to hear this message! I love you all and hope you all have a good week!

Con Amor,
Elder Ka'ili
