11 Months Down

Well as of today, my companion and I have officially completed 11 months! So crazy!!!! We are still trying to wrap our minds around the fact. But, time sure does pass by quickly.

But this week was good! Our focus this past week was to either mark a date for baptism with our investigators or drop them. And basically all of them got dropped, ha. But we have found some new investigators that I am super excited about! 

First off we have an investigator named Mabia. She is so funny! She’s this little lady who is probably 45 but she is so full of energy! I love it! This week we taught her a couple of times and she was reading the Book of Mormon and was praying as well. Yesterday we went and visited her with a member and we were just checking up to see if she was still reading a praying and she said she had been reading. So she pulled out her Book of Mormon and she opened to Mosiah 25 and told us that she had read until there. At first I did not believe it. Never before had I had an investigator that had read that much. So we asked her to explain to us what she had read. So she went off talking about the Lamanites and King Benjamin and the government..... We were AMAZED!!! I was so excited! So we also asked her if she had prayed to know if the things that we have taught her are true and she said she had prayed and knows that it is all true! So we were super excited! We just haven’t marked a date with her yet because she has to get married and stop smoking.... but we are getting there :) 

We also have another investigator, José Fernando, who was in church yesterday which was also another surprise :) He is catholic, but the catholic that never goes to church, ha. So we’ve have been explaining a lot to him the importance of having the priesthood. He seems to be understanding it all very well. We were able to mark a date with him for June 6th. And he said if he knows it’s all true, he will be baptized. So we are praying like crazy, ha! 

Last Monday, one of our members finally got married!!!! We had been waiting sooo long for her to get married! So now she will be able to help out a lot more in our group! 

Well that’s about it for this week! Remember to always read your scriptures and say your prayers! Love you all!
