This week was wonderful, I have truly hard times
are always followed by miracles.
This week we had several finding miracles. We added 7 new investigators! And we received a lot of referrals! It was really amazing to follow the promptings of the Spirit this week and see miracles.
We followed promptings to go visit a former investigator we had taught twice about a month ago and had never found again, and she accepted a baptismal date!
We acted on a feeling to leave a note for a referral we'd been unable to contact and she called us the next day. When we arrived they were already gathering the whole family around and said they'd been waiting for us because they'd always wanted to learn more about our Church.
We contacted a referral this week and the lady answered the door and immediately looked happy to see us. We told her we'd met her son and he'd said she might be interested in our message. She said she was. We were so surprised we asked her again if she was interested and she excitedly said "Si!" She had met missionaries a few months earlier, she'd been crying outside and they'd talked to her and shared comfort with her. She'd declined learning more then and never told them where she lived. Ever since then she'd see missionaries on their bikes but never were able to talk to them until we knocked on her door. She asked us to teach her a lesson right on the spot!

The highlight of this week was definitely Rey's baptism. There was
a lot of craziness at the beginning- when we arrived to fill the baptismal font
with water it smelled horrible from the hallway. It was a sewage backup! But
the Elders took care of everything and we got the font at the other building
filled and kicked out the ward having a potluck and we had a beautiful baptism.
Rey is an amazing example to me. He had to change a lot of things in his life
to be ready for baptism. He is determined to be a "buen mormoncito"
or a good little mormon. He is the best.
Love you all!
