Wow family!

Sounds like great things are happening back home! A baptism of

a family in the ward! Awesome! My companion and I had a really good

week! We are working hard with several people and they are all

excited. We have people that are looking for new jobs to be able to go

to church, people that really don't have any support from their family,

others that need to get married, others that are here illegally and

need to do a whole bunch of paperwork to be able to be legal before

they can be baptized. My point is, that the gospel compels people to do

lots of hard things to get baptized. They really change their lives to

be able to live according to the gospel of the lord. This week we have

a brother named Braulio who is getting baptized on Saturday. He needs

help! Please pray for him to make it. All he has to do is decide and he

will get baptized.

I cant believe that Nat is heading to the MTC today! (Natalee actually left last week!)
Awesome! And Ben jammin! Awesome! It's the best decision that you will ever make!

Sounds like you have some awesome missionaries in the ward! Preach my

Gospel teaches us to commit people to baptize not any later than the

second lesson. It's cool! It's the best feeling in the world to find

someone that accepts the gospel so fast and then strives to live it.

Its a wonderful feeling!

So this week we were teaching a 14 year old kid named Jose Maria. I

think I told you about him last week. He has a date for the 12th of

March. Well, we went to go teach him on Friday night and his mom was

there too! His grandma is a recent convert and also his Aunt Silvia.
We taught his mom and she was all excited and everything

too. She said that she had decided to join a church and was looking

for one, and what a coincidence! We came and taught her that very day!

We taught her the restoration and invited her to be baptized, she

accepted! The lord works in mysterious ways. One thing that I do not

believe in is coincidences. God makes the smallest things happen so

that someone can come in contact with the gospel.

Whoa! Sarah is going to get baptized the day B comes home!!!!!! I'm not

sure that I can think of a better homecoming! That's an awesome story!

I'll be praying for her! So she has been listening to the missionaries

and stuff while B has been gone. That's awesome!

Oh and tell Josue! (joshie) Good luck for me! and good luck to Lindsey

and Austin!

I love you a ton fam!
