Buenos dias!

 

Denise and Victor got baptized yesterday!!! So many people came to support them.  Their friend who lives with them and their son (who has no interest in religion at all) came to church and their baptism! Awesome, right? My favorite part was when they bore their testimonies at the end.  They sounded like PROS...seriously...as if they were aleady members...they were just glowing.  Denise related her conversion story.  About 3 years ago her and Victor were having alot of problems with his divorce from his ex wife and they just wanted to go to a church but they didn't want to go to ANY church...she wanted to go to the right one.  So a couple of elders knocked on her door and she began taking dicussions from them.  Something came up and they had to move across town so they lost contact with the missionaries and so much was going on, she didn't want to call to get a "new" set of missionaries so she kind of just pushed it away.  So earlier this year, she prayed to Heavenly Father, saying if the mormon church was the way to go, to send some missionaies again to her house in the next two weeks.  Well guess who knocks two weeks later? My trainer, Hermana Thomas and her companion.  Miracle, right? Then she says this: "I know it took me a while to learn...but I know it's true...I know it."  AHH seriously its moments like that that make my heart burst with joy!!  They're converted.  Baptisms are my favorite..the spirit is undeniable.  It's because its a true ordinance.  I'm grateful we have the priesthood on the earth.    Definitely the highlight of this transfer.  They are now part of Christ's true and living church.  I know it.  We also got a less active to church yesterday!  She hadn't been to chuch in over 20 YEARS!  Miracle.  God has blessed us so much. Transfers are tomorrow.  Both Hermana Rios and I are staying together. Yay!  Well my birthday is in a week...I'll be expecting some love from all of you...love meaning just a letter telling me how you're doing.  Haha seriously though. I miss you all.  Also shoutout to Jenessa...CONGRATS!!! Best decision you've ever made.  You're going to love the mission so much!! I feel like I just opened my mission call again haha. Just remember there are SPECIFIC people waiting for just YOU to hear the gospel. I can testify that's true. 

 

Ok well i love you all! Choose the right. Be safe. Don't feed the missionaries too much.Seriously. Amo.
