Semana 9

This has been a good week. We had three baptisms this Saturday and are getting ready for two more this coming Saturday. J and NE got baptized and also MG who is the wife of a member who studied at UVU and is recently getting reactive in the church. The work here is really progressing. They keep saying in conference that the Lord is hastening His work and it is so true and evident here. We`re working a lot with our ward mission leader and the members in finding and teaching people and it`s working. It`s true that missionary work only works if both the members and missionaries work together. We have an amazing ward mission leader. His name is HR and he`s always so excited to help us. He comes with us to lessons almost every day. And we fast with him every Sunday for our investigators so that helps out a lot too. There`s a lot of miracles happening. We have an investigator named O who would never come to church and we were about to stop teaching her because we need time to teach people who will progress. But we taught about the temple last week and I think something happened because she seems a whole lot more willing and excited to prepare for baptism. She came to church yesterday and I know she is going to progress very well. We should be able to have a baptism for her on the 26th of this month. 

We visited this new family who said that one of their sons was killed a while ago and the wife was really sad and crying and wanted to know why we have so much challenges in this life. Our ward mission leader was able to teach her that families can be together forever and she doesn`t need to worry. We were able to help her a bit and I could see the spirit.

This Saturday we have the baptism for EC and MD. We`re also teaching E`s dad who we invited to be baptized. He accepted but didn`t accept a date yet. 

Well that is about all that`s happened this week and I know that with the help of the Lord, we will have even greater success this coming week. 

Hope to hear from you all soon!
