Wow... It keeps going.

Hola hola hola!

I can only start this email thanking the Lord for all that he has

given us here in this area, I cannot believe the success that we are

seeing and the way I feel towards the people we are teaching.  We have

so many people to teach that are preparing for baptism, that we hardly

have time to think...it has been a little bit stressful, but in a good

way :)  We have also got the ward pretty excited, I don't think that

they have seen this many people in a long time, and they are starting

to get the pilas going and help out.  Most of our investigators are

still contacts, but the members are starting to acompany us to visits

and showing up to the  baptisms.

This week we had the baptism of Miguel Angel.  He might just be the

weirdest person on the planet..you`ll be able to see in the pictures I

send ha, but he has a growing testimony.  We found him trying to find

our way around the guard of a gated community.  He was walking towards

the gate so we ran up and talked to him. He said that he had been

waiting and praying for a way to change his life and become a member

of a church...how weird that he ran into us right?  Since that day he

has been working hard to overcome his nervousness and get baptized ha.

Like he just gets super nervous around people, the first week at

church he just about jumped out of his chair and screemed when they

announced his name in sacarament.  I honestly thought that he was

going to go down splashing in the water for his baptism ha...but it

only took the hermano 2 times this week :)  We were supposed to have

another baptism this week, but she got sick and was in bed all

week..so Adriana will be for this sunday that is coming!  Oh and also

Daniel, who is another contact that the lord has been preparing.

But big news this week...we found a family!!! Yep a mom dad and three

kids that have been prepared by the lord.  We had a great first lesson

with them where they explained how this last year has really hit them

hard, and that they are ready for a change.  We knew that the Lord had

sent us there.  Angel and his two daugters Valeria and Jimena came to

church and they stayed all the way until the baptism of Miguel! They

are super excited and have a date for the 29th of june!  We have been

praying and studying real hard for them, that the spirit will be with

us in the lessons and that they can feel it.  I have a feeling that

this family is ready for the gospel!

this week we had the confirmation of amauri as well..and we didn't

have to wake him up haha...and he is doing well as are juan juani and

samuel! Wow just too many blessings to count.  And I don't know if I

told you guys, but Roberto from Independecia, his dad got baptized

this week, and they are waiting for the temple in 1 year!!

Pics. check out these model shots ha. And the baptism of roberto!
