This last week we had changes and i have been left to keep working in my area. At first i was depressed but then a couple of miracles happened this week to change my mind completely. Lets start off with the good things that have happened.
We were lead to a family this last week that are just awesome. The three kids are super and have every desire to get baptized and only after 2 lessons! Their names are Jimmy, Jiseña and Iris. They are awesome and are gonna get baptized this next month. We taught them the first lesson and they were hanging on every one of our words during the lesson. And then we read 3 Nephi 11 together, and at the end they asked us if they could get baptized and we said OF COURSE! So they are already well on their way to getting baptized this next month.
Another great thing happened. We had the baptism of Mishell this last weekend! It was a great experience and everyone came. There were 26 people there and all were the family of her. We had been working with her forever and we finally got permission for her baptism. And the funny thing was when all the family of the mother that are members were praising Elder Muñoz and I for what we were able to accomplish. We were practically famous for a day haha.
Things have made a drastic change in these last few weeks and it has made things so much better for me. I learned from my hard time patience and humility. Also, our zone leaders are going through it now, so i can help them out a lot now. Its funny and amazing how things can change so quickly and how we can all help people in their times of need.
We have also made great strides with the ward. They are now going to help us out a lot more. We are setting up a program for our investigators so that people that have passed through similar problems as them can help us out in the lessons and provide the help that the people need.
Life has made a 180 and it is truly amazing. I hope that everyone has a great week this week and remember that the tough times suck, but there is always a purpose. Humble yourself enough to find it. I love you all and i also received the letters from the whole family and they were awesome! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Now im gonna go take a nap haha. Ill write you next week!
