Hola Todos!

Wow what a week! This week we were able to teach Maria Jesus up in the pueblos which I love, because it is SO beautiful up there. We taught about the Plan of Salvation and about Repentance, and the spirit was there so strong! We ended up teaching the lesson on her back porch which was awesome with the amazing view and after the lesson she excepted (accepted, I think his English is fading ;) our invitation to be baptized! Then on Wednesday was taught our investigator Lina from Columbia and after an awesome lesson, she too excepted (accepted) our invitation to be baptized which just blew me away! We know it will take time, but I know they will see miracles in their lives as they continue following Christ.

 Haha speaking of miracles, we have seen some too! I left my bag with my ipad and all my stuff just outside of Marias house when we taught her, and we had no way of contacting her or getting back up there until late the next night. So I decided to pray and have faith that Heavenly father would help me out, and I prayed like crazy that my bag wouldn’t get wet. Then, the next night at like 8 when we got up there, she handed me my bag, and said she saw it at like 3 oclock the next day, and she grabbed it just in time, because it started to pour right after! My bag sat outside for almost 24 hours and was completely dry! It seemed like a lot to ask Heavenly Father to get it back dry, but it stayed completely dry!

 It was a cool blessing for sure. Then Thursday I spent the day in Pontevedra for a comp. exchange and learned a lot. And Sunday I gave a 25 min lesson in Spanish! Haha that was a miracle too! There were about 9 people at church this week, and we were really excited to get more people coming back. 

 I am learning more and more how to love missionary work every day! And my love for the Spanish people grows farther then I could have even imagined! I love serving on a mission for those brief glimpses of how much Christ and our Heavenly Father really love these people and all of us. I have been studying the attributes of Christ this week and trying to learn from his example because he is the perfect example. All in all it was an awesome week.

i love you guys!
