Cuando toca toca is something that our zone says all the time and I really like it because it translates to when he knocks, he knocks.
This for me really means that when the Lord has work, it is on His timing. There were a lot of times this week that our plans changed according to promptings of the spirit and "convenient" sequences of events (aka: God set it up to be that way).
One example is after general conference on Saturday we had a lesson planned with an investigator family, but when we got there they had left, so we were wondering what to do (because we hadn't made a back up plan.. whoops). And into my mind popped the name of our investigator Andrea, who we hadn't been able to visit for a long time because she was always busy. Since she had always been busy, my companion doubted she would be available, but when we called she said she was free and just hanging out at her house.
So as we changed our route to walk to her house, we came across this woman on a street we would not have previously taken. We started talking to her, and my companion realized she had contacted her before but hadn't been able to meet with her. She had just been taking a rest from walking when we encountered her... she didn't need to, but something made her stop in our path!!!
So after helping her to her house we continued to Andrea's, and really we came at a perfect time in her life to share our message that day. It also gave me the opportunity to gain her trust a little more, which I am grateful for, because when my companion leaves, I am the one in charge of being the friend of our investigators.
One thing that stood out to me in General Conference is the importance of listening to the spirit. I know that God has His hand in every event in our lives. How we respond to it is our choice, and if we are in tune with the spirit we will never choose the wrong path.
Also if you haven't already, you should go look up the church's video for Easter... Prince of Peace!
Love you all!

{those are 4 different languages}
Fun facts... Here in Bolivia they kinda just add "pero" to the end of everything.
They also say "¿no ve?" where we would say "right?", so... a lot.
The Cholitas speak a different language... Quechua! and I am learning a little in order to communicate with them what I can!
