Hi family. First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!!! Instead of a card I think I'll just wrap myself up and send me to you. How's that sound? :-) I love you all so much! I can't really think of anything new. Days are just flying by. Thanks for keeping me so updated. I really don't want to make it a big deal around here that I'm leaving. Mostly I just want to quietly disappear and let the work go on.
Hi everybody!!!!! We had another baptism, Edith, on Sunday. It was very nice. The Spirit was strong and she had a lot of family come. Another one of our investigators who is scheduled to be baptized came. He's a "churrero" which is a guy riding around on a bike selling churros. He rode the bike to the baptism which caused a problem for a few minutes because all the kids wanted their parents to buy them churros. Their parents were explaining to them they can't buy one because it's Sunday.
Today we got to go to the temple. I'll get to go again a week from today, right before transfers. It's a beautiful day. Blue sky, not too hot. Everyone has blooming rosebushes.
We street contacted a lady named Ester who turned out to be a former investigator. She has a strong testimony that God answers prayers. One time she lost a hat that had $400 zipped in it. She had dropped it in a huge field where she was working. She had no clue where it was. She just felt that she should walk a certain distance and then something told her to look down. She saw a tiny patch of her hat sticking out of the dirt. She had found it.
We are full up with appointments this week. Before the week even started we had most of it planned out. We've been finding a lot of new investigators even though we're not really focusing specifically on finding. We already have more investigators than we know what to do with. Not all of them are progressing which is good. I'm really excited about the ones we have. We have a family of 7 we found last week that I'm excited about. We'll see where that goes because they had been taking the lessons for a long time. We just barely picked them back up. We see potential though.
With God all things are possible. Whenever I find myself struggling to speak Spanish, I notice it's at the times where I'm really not feeling the Spirit. As soon as I let go of whatever negative thoughts I have, I can talk again. As long as you're living so you have the Spirit with you, you can do anything.
Thank you all for your love and prayers. Have a wonderful week!
