Beans for Thanksgiving.... |
How are you all?? I really missed Thanksgiving this
week.:)
I have something great to tell you, we went to the Visitor’s Center
on Saturday! It was so great, and we had 5 of our investigators there
too!!
Hermano Marcos is great! He has a baptismal date for 26 of
December, and is really excited to get baptized. We have had a lot of really
cool lessons with him, and he always likes to share a scripture with us during
our lessons:) He is super great, and I think that he is going to be such a
great impact for our ward!
Another one of our investigators is named Ariceli, and the
missionaries before us found her family and began teaching them in March of
this year. They are all really great, and her oldest son that is 24 years old
was baptized about 3 months ago. She has been super resistant to baptism, and
we had kind of a slam-down lesson with her. We left the lesson feeling a little
nervous that we were too bold, but when we came back for another lesson, in the
first like 5 minutes, she told us that she wanted to be baptized! The spirit
can totally change people. She wants to surprise her daughter for her birthday
(because her daughter, Marisella, really wants to be baptized) and be baptized
in January. Super cool!!

Another one of our investigators, Brenda, is the really young
lady (23) with 3 kids. She has been totally a blessing for us, and we love
teaching her! She just needs to get married and then we will be good to go with
her:)
Another one of our favorite times is when we have lessons with
the Family Hernandez. They are a less active family of like 5 years, super
young, but have totally changed, and have been coming to church every wee for
the past four weeks! They are really an awesome little family, and I am so
happy to know them!
Its
been a busy week, but really special too!!
Also,
we saw a guy on a motorcycle get hit by a car yesterday, and it was probably
the scariest thing that I have ever seen. The car didn’t stop or anything, and
that was equally as bad. The really great thing is that he wasn’t hurt or
anything....yeah it was a little crazzzzyyyy!!!
Thank
you so much you guys! I really miss you, but I know that I am completely
different here, the changes are so real!! We can become so great in this life,
but we definitely need to work at it!!
Love
you all, and will talk to you in a week!!:):)
