A week of miracles

This week has been uh-may-zing. We have really been struggling lately to get new investigators, who want to progress and continue on with our teaching. This last week, we found 8 new investigators, and we gave out 6 baptismal dates! I am so grateful for this amazing blessing, and we are hoping that we will be able to bring all 12 of our investigators to the waters of baptism by the end of May.  It is such an amazing feeling when the people we teach accept our message, and actually follow through with their commitments.  

There are two families in particular who we are really focusing on at this moment in time. The Vicencio family and Sublay family.  The Vicencio family have 4 kids, and the parents are members.  Their two oldest kids (Daughters) are two of our favorite people to teach.  They write down everything we tell them, and they read the scriptures every single day.  Their dates are for next week (may 9), and i am so excited!!! We are also trying to bring back their parents, who have become less active over the last few years. I am hoping and praying that their childrens example and strong testimonies will give that "push" that they need to return to full activity.  Also, the Sublay family - There are 2 kids, their mom, and 3 cousins.  They have all gone to church before, and they were all ecstatic when we gave them dates! It was an amazing experience ;)

The language is coming along so much easier now.  I wouldn't necessarily go as far as saying that I'm fluent... but I am almost 100% comfortable in any situation. I am so grateful for the Gift of tongues, and the patience that I exercised in the beginning of this whole adventure. Our Father in heaven really does love us. I know that fo sho.

Everything is awesome, and I am loving this work that I am blessed to be a part of. I am learning so much. I love my family and friends. you are all fantastic persons. 

love you all, and remember... :)

Stay True!
