Hello! Hey the next time it will be February 29th is in 2020!! Cool right?!

So yeah, this week was a week full of miracles, that taught me if we are doing EVERYTHING the Lord asks of us, He will do everything we ask of him (and more J) So we started this week without any good progressing investigators and ended with a Baptism and a ton of great progressing investigators!

So this wek a member told us to go visit this family, the dad is a member less active and the mom isn’t baptized and they have a baby who is 25 days old! They had talked with past sisters but they had a little argument with them and decided to not go to church anymore. So we went there, taught with the spirit, and they loved it and she accepted baptism! The baptism was great! We sang ‘As Familias Poderao Ser Eternas” and everyone was crying! Super sweet moment! Now we are teaching her cousin and helping him stop smoking so he too can be baptized!

We are working with the aunt of a member, she’s amazing, we give the lesson, she asks a bunch of questions, she reads the parts we marked in the Book of Mormon and more! She writes down all her questions and asks them when we visit her! She loves the teple and she wants to be baptized the only thinkg is her husband is a member less active for 30 years and he doesn’t want to go back and remember the past. So we’ve go to work with him. But I know they’ll be sealed in the temple one day! I love this family so much!

On a mission you get to feel everything in double! You geel the Lords love for his children in double. You feel the spirit in double, you’re happy in double and I think that’s why everyone loves the mission and no one wants to go home. I love feeling all of this! I love being a missionary! Serving a mission is the best thing any 18 or 19 year old could do! I love you all. Only 6 more letters from me. So crazy!! Time is passing soooo fast!! Ahhhhh!!

Scripture of the Week:

Alma 17:10-11

10 And it came to pass that the Lord did visit them with his Spirit, and said unto them: Be comforted. And they were comforted.

11 And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among the Lamanites, thy brethren, and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls.
