Week 15

Hola!!!

This week has been good and bad. We had a lot of lessons fall but we had a lot of new investigators. Also, we had the biggest miracle on saturday that I will tell you about in a little bit. Also, we had such a great turn out at church yesterday!!! Last week was around 50 people and yesterday was 84! It was amazing how packed our church was. haha!  Our church isn't very big but its sufficient for only our ward! Also, one of my teachers in the CCM, his home ward is La Reforma which is my ward so he said he would come and visit sometimes and this week he came! He is awesome! His name is Hermano R. and he served in California long beach and so his English is perfect. I was so happy to see him.

So this week on saturday we had 3 lessons fall and so we decided to do some more contacting like usual when our lessons fall but this time felt different. I felt sad that we didn't have lessons with these people but at the same time I felt like we were going to have success. So we walked down a street that we hadn't contacted before and its not very long and doesn't have a lot of houses but I knocked on a door and some little girls came to the door and we asked if we could talk to their parents. We then asked if we could share a message about our redeemer Jesus Christ and they let us in. THIS FAMILY WAS A FAMILY OF 8! The mom, dad and two kids that are age for baptism and so we taught the first lesson about the restoration. After, we asked if they would be baptized when they recieve an answer of their own and that this church is true, they said yes and we then invited them to church which was the next day. The mom immediately said yes but the dad and the son who is about 13 said they had work on Sunday. So we then asked the wife and the daughter if they would like us to accompany them to church in the morning and they hesitated and only said that they would come. Then as we were leaving we were extremely happy with an answer to all of our prayers and after about 10 steps outside the house the mom sent the daughters to come ask us a question. We went back and they clarified with us that church was at 9 and that we could stop by for them. They then asked what time and we said at 8:15 we would stop by and they said okay they would come(the mother and daughter). So on Sunday we stopped by and the mother and daughter were almost completely ready by the time we knocked on the door. So we were so excited! Then in church we had another investigator show up with his two daughters and this investigator only has one arm. I dont understand the whole story so I wont try to explain it haha, but he attended church and we could have these three people baptized on the first Saturday of Enero! Which is the 3rd of January which is also my cumple mes!  Cumple mes is the day that you entered the CCM and you celebrate it every month! Also, that is our last week in this change! so we are hoping for three baptisms then!

So not much more happened. Today I recieved a letter from mom, from grandpa, and from Colton. I would like to thank you so much for the letters and for the support. Grandpa, keep reading the Book of Mormon. If you have any questions on any big words you can ask my mom and dad. I know you graduated from Miami! haha, jk! love you guys! Everything's going good here. The language is coming along and I really dont worry about it any more. I have already seen the help of the spirit in lessons when I teach and testify.

Also, I have read letters from the Bradford family, the Nilsen family, the Pacheco family, from Brie, Shelby, Emily and Sarah, and from the swim team! Thank you so much for the letters! Each letter means so much to me. Also, I dont know when my other package will arrive.

Love you guys,
