Hello family! So this week was a super good one. It has
been stressful but really good. Elder Clements and I have been working
really hard to find new people and we have found quite a bit. On Tuesday
a pretty weird story but a miracle occurred. So I sent a picture of me
and my comp and two people a daughter of about 20 years and her dad with
a mustache, and one of an abuelita, or grandma. So the grandma, she
lives in my old area, which is super far away. The girl, of 20 years,
lives in my area and I contacted her a month ago, gave her a folleto and
our number. Remember that, that is key. We returned to see her, because
I felt like she would progress, I invited her to church and everything
but she wasn't there the two times we went so we didn't think she was
interested. So on Tuesday, I was with Elder Biggs, I get a call from an
unknown number and it is her!! I remembered her name and she said that
her abuelita is a member of our church and she wants to talk with me. So
it turns out this is her granddaughter and her son! Her son, who is
about 55 has cirrhosis of the liver and is very sick. But he asked for a
blessing and we went over and started teaching him and gave him a
blessing. He wants to change and they came to church!!!! So its just
crazy how things turn out. The abuelita was there on Tuesday, and it was
good to see her and all. She was happy to see me and even happier to
see her son and granddaughter being taught by us. So they came to church
and they are going to progress bien chido. I was in awe how everything
came to be. So basically, I contacted her a while ago, nothing happened
but she still had our number and then she called us. These are signs to
me telling me I am here for a reason. It was pretty cool. Also, Sara,
Juany and the gang are still progressing but we are having a little bit
of problems with the husbands. One is a member, and hasn't been forever,
but Sara and Juany want to be baptized, have a testimony, they know this
gospel is the best thing for their families but the husbands say no. So
please pray for them!!! We want to see them be baptized, I have known
them for now 2 months and they have changed so much, it is really cool.
So that was my week, it was super sweet. Love you all!! Oh and a
scripture I liked from this week. Mosiah 5:2 It reminds me of
investigators that we don't change them, we change their hearts to do
good. Love you all!

Right now we have a ton of investigators and the sweet thing is that
they are all going to church!!! We had 6 yesterday, and hope to have 10
or 11 this next Sunday! I will tell you all a lot more in my letter.

This hermana is from my old area in Mitras and her granddaughter and her
son is in that picture I just sent where I am with my comp. It is a
really cool story.

Hello everyone! Well we had some pretty crazy changes in
the mission here in San Bernabe! So Elder Perez left on Friday night and
Elder Clements from Rexburg came with me back to my area. He is a
fairly new missionary here and I am going to finish his training. He
only has one change in the mission, so it will be fun to train a little
bit more. We have 6 people with a date, and we are working hard with all
6 of them to keep them progressing. All 6 went to church, 4 of them are
Juany, Sara, Alejandra e Arturo. I am excited for this next few weeks
for them, so I will keep you updated. President Swapp met them, and he
wants to come to their baptism, so that will be super good. Not much has
changed since Wednesday, just my companion. He is really excited to
work, and we will get pictures for next Monday to send. I didnt take to
many this last week, sorry about that. Oh and mom spoke yesterday, so
did I! I talked to the members how they can invite neighbors and friends
to the church. It went alright, and church was good. Today we hung out
with Elder Biggs and Elder Sevilla and are just relaxing, but this week
that comes up we are going to be working really hard and its going to
get hotter and hotter. Talk to you all soon, Love you soo much!
