This week was amazing and full of miracles!! I am only going to
be able to talk about a few because I don`t have enough time to talk
about them all but....her we go!
This week we had a baptism of a man that has wanted to be
baptized for a loooooong time and he has been listening to the missionaries for
lke a year or so and just bearely got baptized on friday. In my time here he
has had three baptismal dates but he didnt get baptized until the third one
haha (third times the charm as they say ;) ) but yeah, it`s because we had to
resolve a few problems that he had but yeah now he is a baptized member of the
Church of Jesu Chrisst of Latter-day Saints and he is super happy! He is
already looking forward to going out to visit people! He is great and is a
super nice person and he even got up this sunay and bore his testimony :) hahah
and something super funny that happened was that we were sitting in his baptism
and it came to the moment when we was going to enter the font to be baptized
and so he stands up from where he was sitting and he walks over to the door to
leave to enter into the font and he stops in front of us, cuz we were sitting
right next to the oor, and he`s like looking at the font and then back at the
oor and he says outloud, while clutching the hem of his jumper with both hands
(one on each side of the outside of his legs), "I`m gonna get
baptized...." hahah it was so funny! my comp and I were laughing to
ourselves (trying to nt call attention to ourselves). it was so funny :) then
the next day we went to visit him and he told us "I`m Mormon. I
can`t believe it!" haha, he`s a great old man :) (he`s like 50 oh yeah,
and his name is Eber. yep....he spells it that way....I always thought it was
spelled like Heber....but whatever)
We were also able to put a baptismal date with an investigator
for this saturday and we are in the process of getting her married to her
husband. Her name is Areli :) She already had her interview yesterday and
everything is all set, she just needs to get married and we are helping her get
that all figured out. She is super excted to get married to her husband and to
be baptized. We had an amazing experience with her baptismal date :) we have
been praying for weeks for her date and we felt sure that her date was for the
7th of november so just a few days ago we talked to her and we asked her if she
had been praying about her baptism and she said yes and we asked her how she
felt and she said that she felt peaceful and she felt like it was what she
needed to do and then we asked her if she had prayed about her date and she
said yes but that she still didn`t feel an answer...and then right after that
we said "well we have been thinking and praying about you a lot and
thinking about your date" and before we could tell her the date her
husband said, "I was telling you that you are going to get baptized in
november remember? And i told you that you`re going to get baptized on november
7th." And when he said that, Sister Sanchez and I just sat there in shock
and we look at each other and we looked at Areli and at her husband and we were
like laughing, like when one laughs when something is just too perfect or
too crazy to believe....and we said, "actually yes!! That is the date that
we thought of and that the Lord had confirmed to us!" So yeah. it was a
miracle. We totally received a confirmation for her date and she accepted it
and got right to moving along with her marriage plans and all that. She is
super excited and so are we! :) Something that she also told us was like super
impresive! She was telling us that awhile ago the lady who lets her rent a part
of her house told her to listen to the jehovas witnesses because it was pretty
and all that and so she started listening a little but that she didn`t like it
all that much and then one day a JW knocked on the door and she told him that
she was Mormon and he said "oh ok that`s alright." and he left her
alone haha. Then another time she told someone that she was a member of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and she told us that she said it
without thinking haha so yeah, she is going to be a great member of the church
once she is baptized this Saturday :)
So yeah, those were a few miracles that we saw this week :) I
know this gospel is true and that it bleses and changes lives! Hope you can all
get out there and share it with someone! Or at least give references to the
missionaries :) they help us a lot :) Love you all! have a great week!
Love,
