Things here are amazing!

Buenos Dias!

How is everybody? Things here are awesome! Yesterday we had 9 investigadors at church. Amazing! 

Myde and her son Lesvin are planning on getting baptized on the 14th as well as Isabell her cousin. We are also teaching 3 kids of a less active family. I love this family; their kids are hilarious and witty. And we are still teaching Brenda. So if all goes well we will have an amazing miracle on the 14th. 

This week we went to the temple with Myde, and Isabell. It was really a special experience. Myde accepted her baptismal date. Lesvin who is 9 said, "I can feel God shining in me.” Isabell we thought was just kind of along for the ride because we didn’t really know her and hadn’t taught her. But when we left the temple she told us she wanted to be baptized.  

The kids we are teaching are Bryan, Dustin and Jukmila. They just moved here from Mexico. Their parents were visiting the temple when Hermano Hector, a brother in our ward, met them. They were trying to figure out what ward to go to when they met Hermano Hector who just happens to be their neighbor. Then he called us to let us know we had 3 new investigadors (he called us, not the elders...we work hard on being loved more then the elders...haha just kidding) 

The Elders in our ward are cool but we had a nice chat with them last night about how it scares us when they talk to our investigadors at church and then give them their phone number. So I think we shouldn’t have any more problems with them being too friendly....haha… at least I hope so.

This week we also had interviews with President Bautista. I think interviews in the mission are funny because they only last about 5 min. But something really impacted me that President Bautista said. He talked about how we need to teach the doctrine of Christ more simply. We need to teach people more clearly that they need to have faith, repent, be baptized, and endure to the end. And if we do this we will have more success. But he also talked about how Heavenly Father wants all of his children to come home and he is trying everything to get them back. Him saying that really made me think. God trusts me to help his children come to him and every moment of my day should be centered on helping my brothers and sisters return to our Father in Heaven.

I hope you all have a good week!

Les quiero,
