Last Sunday were praying and fasting that
the Spirit would be really strong at Alisson's baptism so that her family
would be more interested and start listening to our messages and going
to church. Tuesday when we went looking for Alisson, her step sister
Gaby came out with a big smile happy to see us and excited to listen.
She used to run away when we came... but she loved the baptism and wants
to know what she needs to do to learn more about the church and be a
member like her younger sister. She is already progressing well in her
reading and prays and went to church for the first time yesterday :)
Alisson was also confirmed yesterday. She is just adorable. Such a great
example.
Another miracle Friday when Nacho
and Alma told us they have been talking and praying together and decided
they finally want to get married! That's something we have been fasting
and praying for for about a month now. SO excited for them. They already
have 14 years together... Nacho was so excited to tell us too. We had
just finished weekly planning when we went to visit them. His baptism
date is coming up next week and we were thinking of how we could help
him reach it. We decided that they would have to get married by Friday
morning and had even written it in our agendas in pencil that we were
going to go with them to get married that morning... and then they told
us they were thinking Friday morning too!! Inspiration for sure.
Saturday
we had the ward movie night we had planned. It went really well and we
had a new family that showed up who seem very interested. It was a great
opportunity for many to share testimonies and have fun together. We are
working on getting the ward more involved and unified. We put a goal to
help motivate them to get names for the temple since it will be
opening again soon. We made a poster that looks like this.. well its not
quite done yet but its gonna be something like this. They will put a
sticker for each name. 
Also were starting English classes this week. Lots of investigators and members have been
asking us so were decided to see how it goes :) Not sure how great my English really is. It should be a fun learning experience and hopefully
will help us find more investigators too :)
Valentin's
niece, Angela passed her interview last night and will be getting
baptized on Thursday! She is really excited and all the young women seem
to love her. Our other young women convert Rocio came with her to the
interview to support her too :) So sweet. We are very excited for her. 
Yesterday
afternoon we went to the Visitors Center with Jorge and Ana and family.
They didn't get up in time for church which was a bummer but also
understanding because they had a tough week. Jorge's brother passed away
and he was out of town for the funeral. Also their neighbor who was
staying with them had a heart attack and is in the hospital so they are
watching her grand kids. It was refreshing to go to the CV and watch the
family video with them and talk about temple and family history work.
Hopefully gave them some hope and strengthened them. They have a lot of
time investigating the church and really like it but still aren't sure if
they want to get baptized. We love them lots and are working to help
them overcome their doubts and make a decision. They are still reading
and progressing. 
Some members brought their
cousin to church with them yesterday and we taught him during the third
hour. He has been before and used to go to institute so is familiar with
the church. He accepted to get baptized in a few weeks and they all
went with us to see a baptism of another ward in the stake after church
yesterday. (Yep yesterday was a really busy day.... ) He liked it and is
excited to learn more and have his cousin baptize him. Should be
perfect because his cousin is preparing to go on a mission soon.
All
is going well! Love being a missionary and serving the Lord. We are
both working hard to give all that we can to the Lord. This week we had a
friendly competition in the zone to see who could pass out the most
book of mormons. We won of course.... ;) I think weve gotten stronger
this week carrying 6 Book of Mormons each plus our normal set of
scriptures each day...It was a really awesome experience because we
didn't just give them out to anyone but searched for the constant
guidance of the spirit to help us distinguish who were the people who
really needed it and would value the gift. I loved being able to teach
several lessons about the Book of Mormon and it helped us find lots and
lots of new investigators too! So many cool experiences with following
the Spirit this week.
Hope all is well and that Dad has the best Fathers Day ever this Sunday! Love you all and will see you soon :)
Con amor,
