This week was wonderful :) I’m loving my new area more and more every day. Where I am serving there are a ton of missionaries. In our church building there are two different zones and like 20 missionaries. So it’s been really different. There are lots of activities like we have English classes and also Family night for the ward on Tuesday. The English classes have been really cool. This one girl has come every week. Her name is Teo. This week I didn’t know what I should teach so I asked this Elder if he had something in English that we could read and he happened the have his Preach my Gospel. We read about the restoration and she just kept saying woow this book is really interesting. Where can I buy one of these? She hasn’t been very interested in coming on Sundays but I know once we read the Book of Mormon in English she’ll gain her testimony.

               So Margorie is a Lady who we have been teaching and got baptized this Sunday. She really is such a great person and has changed sooo much. She has an illness which makes her act in a certain way but it’s really made me realize the importance of seeing people as they can become and not how there are when we find them. She lives very far away but is very willing to sacrifice every Sunday to wake up at 4:30 and come to church. On Sunday she literally went to all three of the hours of church and then the 4th hour that we have at 7 at night. It was a great day for her. She is hilarious. We were helping her prepare for her baptism interview and then right before she called us asking how to pronunciate the prophets name so we told her and then met up with her 5 minutes after. As we were walking to the church I saw that there was something on her hand and as I got closer she had written Thomas S. Monson on the palm of her hand. She kills me. I could literally write a story of all the funny things she says.

               So her son and her good friend got baptized with her on Sunday. Her friends name is Marleni. She is also such an amazing person. She had doubts all week about if she should get baptized on Sunday. On Sunday she was all good and got the church and was way happy until right before when it was time for her to change she said Hermana Flor, I want to wait to get baptized next week. So we took her to another room and talked with her. I really don’t even know what we said but I could just see how much she needed the Spirit in her life. She decided to get baptized and as she left the water we hugged her and she said I know with all my heart that this truly is the only true church on the face of the earth. Satan worked harder than ever this week. It was just a confirmation that indeed this is the church of Jesus Christ. These are the last days and he needs us to be his Saints. I love you all!!!!!
